Red 5 Racing are pleased to announce the signing of the following personnel.


Chief Mechanic - Martin Naumann From Germany, who Gavin Thomas had to fight hard for, definately a great aquisition for the team.
Chief Designer - Jan Matijevic from Croatia who has been seen around the GP2 paddock with Team Arden, now has his chance in the GPVWC.


And finally Red 5 Team Manager Gavin Thomas fought off half the grid to finally land :


Commercial Manager - Nestor Santana, the Spaniardwho will be hard at work marketing the team to potential sponsors in the coming days.


Bids are in and hopefully Nestor can get some cash into the Red 5 coffers for a truly sensational 2012 Superleague competition.
Team Manager Thomas also stated that he had been in contact with 2010 World Champion Janne Tanskanen about driving for Red 5 Racing in 2012; the deal would have seemed like a pipe dream, however, there may well be a chance that the GPVWC's own flying Finn could be seen inthe new R5R-005 which we understand Matijevic has completed and is available for testing.


Tanskanen is thought to be weighing up his options, but if the Red 5 guys can develop a 'fast' car, then Janne may join the Welsh outfit. Only time will tell!
