Fortec Motorsports driver profile consists of many strong names and the team prides themselves on maintaining a great relationship with their drivers. The team’s most recent F1 graduate is Robin Frijns, 2012 Formula Renault 3.5 Champion. Robin graduated from Formula Renault 2.0 to the 3.5 and went on to win the championship despite being in his rookie year. The Sauber F1 team, at a young driver test in Abu Dhabi, recognized his fantastic potential and Robin was soon signed as the team’s reserve driver.

As our profile in motorsport continues to rise, we intend to maintain and where possible improve our standing within the various Formulas in which we participate. With our outstanding racing pedigree and years of experience in the motorsport industry, we are a top choice for young drivers wishing to further their motorsport career and we take great pride in preparing all of our drivers both mentally and physically for the demands of Formula One. As our drivers grow and develop with us, they move up through the ranks with relative ease, receiving great support from the whole team and strong potential for a glittering career in Formula One.
