Moto2 vice world champion Tom Lüthi (carXpert Interwetten), Zurich talent Jesko Raffin (Garage Plus Interwetten) and young Spaniard Iker Lecuona (Unicar Interwetten) will be at the start of the season debut on March 26 in Qatar. "In recent years, we have never dared to announce our sporting goals before the season. That's no longer the case this time. There is only one last step left for us to take. Tom and we want the World Championship title. That is the logical consequence of what we achieved last season," said the team boss.
Alongside the declared world championship favorite Tom Lüthi is the Zurich talent Jesko Raffin. He improved last season and was temporarily on pole at the GP in Australia before securing fifth place on the grid. The 17-year-old Spaniard Iker Lecuona is another hopeful on the grid. "He is a natural talent, the likes of which you rarely see," says Corminboeuf. Things get going again in mid-February. Testing in Valencia (E) and later in Jerez (E) are on the agenda.
