The driver market is far from settled as the Finn is ousted for the ex-Red Archer reserve driver.

Today, Green Stripes Racing Team Manager Christoph Lichtenstein announced at a surprise press meeting an immediate driver change for the 2015 GPVWC Superleague season.

Tommi Koivunen is to be replaced by Ben Horrill with immediate effect. Horril then arrived onstage to explain to the media how he came to the team:

"I'm incredibly excited to be joining Green Stripes Racing for the 2015 season; a team with a great history and vision.

I would like to thank Christoph for signing me and giving me a chance to prove my ability and test myself against the best drivers in the GPVWC's top tier. I would like to also thank the Red Archer team for their support and for allowing me to be the test and reserve driver for 2014. What I learnt from them over the season will help me greatly this year.

After signing as Red Archers test driver for this season also I was offered the race seat at GSR and it was something I could not turn down.

I'm incredibly eager to start the season and am hoping to challenge for top tens in what is the most talent packed field I've ever seen in simracing"
