Kuala Lumpur, 17th May 2008 - Fortec Motorsport is pleased to announce that Fairuz Fauzy has joined the team and will participate in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series (World Series by Renault) for the remainder of the season, starting at the Monaco GP support race next week.

Following a successful test with the team at Valencia at the end of the 2007 season, Fairuz has participated in both the GP2-Asia Series as well as A1GP.

Fortec Team Principal, Richard Dutton commented: - "It's a great boost for the team to have Fairuz with us for the 2008 season. He showed last year that he has a great talent and a wealth of experience and we hope to capitalise on this from the start. We were keen to see Fairuz in our car following his test last year and I believe he can be incredibly competitive with us.

" Fairuz Fauzy commented "I am glad and it is good to be back in the championship with the team that I had driven for during my Formula 3 days. It feels like home as Richard (Dutton) is no stranger to me and he is familiar with my driving technique. I did a pre-season testing with them at the end of
last year and I believe we stand a good chance of challenging the front runners. I look forward for a wonderful start in Monaco."
