M-Sport unveil changes

After the motorsport world was rocked recently by such well kept secret news bombshells such as Alonso going to Ferrari and Mercedes buying into Brawn, GMWC today equally has its own well kept, not even in the slightest rumoured or discussed news headline.

Today the press world was shocked at a hastily called conference at M-Sport HQ when the following announcement was made

“Earlier today the M-Sport team fully acquired the remaining assets of the A-Tek motorsport team in a move to form one of the strongest squads to field on the 2010A grid”

The assembled press were so shocked by the well kept secret that absolutely no response whatsoever was initially made, although well humoured journalists jibed with “tell us something we don’t know” type comments.

Former A-Tek CEO Antony Cochrane was on hand to explain “Last season a small core of drivers parted with another team and came knocking for drives at M-Sport. Matt Lewis at the time was very supportive but wished to see new teams on the grid. He agreed to provide customer cars and thus A-Tek racing was born. Halfway through 2009C though things were not going and well and we nearly folded the team there and then. Once again M-sport stepped in to help and encourage A-tek to continue even though we went on to beat them to 3rd in the Team title. Our foray into team management was over however so the natural step was to merge our teams assets with M-sport”

M-sport CEO concluded “We welcome A-tek into the fold of M-sport racing and its fitting that something we helped build comes home to strengthen our team. Anthony and Alex Du Plessis join the great roster we already have and we believe we can finally mount a serious challenge on the Teams Championship. 2010A is shaping up to be an exciting season for us and we cant wait to get going”
