The German driver who played a key role in the rapid scale of the Kuiper Darkstar Racing outfit has announced that his final race for the team will be at the season finale at the Nurburgring, a fitting last dance at home. Joshi came into KDR at the beginning of Season 3, where the team looked to be rapidly on the verge of collapsing. Donning the number 47 on his car, Joshi set out at every race to ensure points were delievered. Off the track, he played a massive role in the build and growth of the team's discord and presence, he himself quoting that 'when you look at KDR and Joshi Mandelbaum it's like looking at peanut butter and jelly... it just belongs together.'
However, with the team's progress stagnating and Joshi reportedly feeling burnt out by overdelivering in his role, it makes sense that Joshi looked elsewhere for a deal, and while plans haven't been revealed it's clear that this marks the end between Joshi and KDR for now. It'll be an emotional farewell for Joshi as he races one last swansong for the team that brought him to where he is today.
Elsewhere on the grid, slots are continuing to fill. Aeron announce Pasquale Fabozzi as their S5 main off the back of a fantastic win in Valencia, while Walter puts pen to paper for a long term deal at Camber.
