Quotes:
Rasmus Tali:
"After a year off due to university and some other obligations I am happy to be back at FSR. I would like to thank GTO for the opportunity and I can't wait to get back to racing. I am confident that if preseason testing goes well we will have pace to challenge for top spots and then try to build on the momentum from there on."
Dian Kostadinov:
"I am very happy to be here again at GT Omega Racing, last year was difficult to get good results as the competition is very strong, but I have good experience and now I am ready to attack the top 5 spots in the World Championship. I am included in one very young team with a good future and I hope to create great success this year and in future years with GT Omega Racing."
Ivar Kalamees:
"I'm happy to drive for the team, this time in the main car. After a good and perhaps a bit surprising season in the World Trophy divison, I’ve decided to move on to World Series for this year, hopefully for lots more fun with the team and the competitors."
Benjamin Burmeister:
"I am very proud to drive for GT Omega Racing, after many years away from FSR I will find my speed again and try my best to win a race. The speed from the team is very fast and the test days in Australia are very good to start a good season"
