FORTEC MOTORSPORT SIGN PENTUS FOR 2010

Fortec Motorsport and FAT BURNER are pleased to announce they have reached agreement for Estonian driver Sten Pentus to race with Fortec for a second consecutive season in the World Series by Renault, Formula Renault 3.5 litre car.

Fortec Motorsport owner Richard Dutton is delighted to be able to continue the relationship which saw Pentus emerge as a true contender in the 2009 championship races.

Dutton said, “Seeing Sten’s development during last season and the excellent relationship he built with the team was very satisfying, and to be able to have continuity of personnel and driver for this year gives me a lot of confidence for the coming season”. Dutton believes there is more to come from the popular man from Tallinn, “ I believe the tremendous progress Sten made and the experience gathered last year will make both Sten and Fortec serious contenders for the 2010 Championship”.

Last season Sten earned a lot of respect in his debut season, finishing 2nd in race two in Barcelona and featuring in the points on numerous occasions on his way to finishing 12th overall for the season.

For Sten, it is his first career opportunity to carry the experience gained into a new season in a known environment. “The 2009 season was a big step in my career and we really built a great working relationship with the Fortec team, and I feel I made real progress on so many fronts. For this reason I am really pleased to be able to continue that relationship with Richard and the whole team for this year. I know how much I have learned and improved since this time last year and I am determined to fight for the results we all believe can be achieved”.

Fortec’s test programme continues with the second World Series test of the year at the Jerez ciruit in Spain, 13^th – 14^th of March.

Sten’s team mate will likely be confirmed following the test in Jerez.
