We are pleased to announce the recruitment of Joni Törmälä and Valtteri Pitkänen. These two young Finns join us to boost our squad for the upcoming LFS season.
Joni Törmälä, otherwise known as torpp1s, joins us from R2R where he raced in a handful of international events including IGTC and GTAL where he helped his team pick up 3 wins last season. Joni, 15, comes from Haapajärvi in the middle of Finland where he is in 9th grade in school. In his spare time, he enjoys playing LFS and hanging out with his girlfriend.
The next Finn to join our ranks is 15 year old Valtteri Pitkänen. He, too, is in school and is interested in football, computer games and enjoys playing the drums and guitar in his spare time. Valtteri, whose LFS name is Emyn started playing LFS two years ago and has competed in many series like GT2WS, Super GT, GTAL, IGTC, Apex Cup, etc for his previous team, DRUNK team.
You will be able to see the two in the upcoming 24 Hours Race of the Masters of Endurance. Here, Joni will be making his My3id debut for our GT1 team, while Valtteri is going to start for Vortex Motorsports in the GT2 Class.
Please give them a warm welcome and we wish you all a happy new year!
