14 year old Swede Victor Bouveng has signed with Trackstar Racing to compete in the Swedish and Northern European Zone Formula Renault 2.0 championship. The young driver will turn 15 before the start of the season but will have to race with an age exemption due to his young age. Bouveng is part of the Swedish motorsport association’s elite junior program and is a part of the Swedish racing’s national team.

2011 will be a learning year but hopes are still high for a top three finish in the championship. Driving coaches and mentors will be 2006 Formula Renault 2.0 UK champion Sebastian Hohenthal and the 2006 World Series by Renault champion Alx Danielsson.

Bouveng’s three year plan includes a seat in either the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup of the British championship for 2012 and a move to GP3 or F3 in 2013.

Sebastian Hohenthal confirmed for Formula Two

The 2006 UK Formula Renault champion and 2007 and 2008 British F3 race winner Sebastian Hohenthal will be joining the Formula Two grid for the inaugural 2009 season.

Hohenthal becomes the seventh driver to be confirmed so far in what is set to be a highly competitive inaugural season, and the 24 year old Swedish driver is relishing the challenge: “I’m delighted to be joining Formula Two in 2009,” said Hohenthal. “For me the new F2 championship couldn’t have been any better timed and with Williams being involved in the project, there is no doubt that the cars will be fantastic as well. Bring on 2009!”

He won the 2006 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Championship, in which he scored seven wins and five further podiums in 20 races, including a double win at Donington Park: “I’m really looking forward to racing at places like Donington, which will be preparing to host the British Grand Prix in 2010,” said the Swede. “The F2 car is going to be a lot quicker than anything I am used to, but I have a good knowledge of the UK circuits and I’m confident that I can do well. Of course I’m realistic, but the only way to approach it is to aim for the top.”
