Recent announcements befell the Osaka-based team, ARTA America. Driver and team owner Ben Hamlin announced that his own car would keep the Coca-Cola sponsorship, while also announcing a sponsorship deal with American football team Club America. Despite this, the other drivers that were attending the ceremony were oddly engaged in a heated argument, over who was the superior drink, regarding Coke and Pepsi.
Eventually, Ben called for a truce, and said that there was still one more thing to be announced. A mysterious man came to the stage, and spoke to the audience. Said man was New Zealand's Steve Vexon, the newly appointed driver for the #8 car of the ARTA team. Not much is known about this man, as his racing career records are hasty at best. Steve said that he was eager to join the series, a topic that apparently came forth during a discussion in an Anime club, which both Ben and Steve are rumored to be a part of. Steve also said that despite a rough first test, which involved the presence of a wild cougar, he has shown a good pace, and Ben is confident in his ability to deliver.
More shall be revealed as the preparations for the 2015 season continue, but one thing can be said; 2015 will be a season to watch...
