Quite possibly the biggest transfer yet - Inforward Racing officially confirming the signing of Simon Wagenvoort from Vegasport for Season 5. The blockbuster move brings together one of the most anticipated pairings on the grid, as Simon joins his father Jaap Wagenvoort to form a formidable lineup at the championship winning outfit.
For a long time, we viewed Simon joining Jaap at Inforward as a complete pipe dream given the deep initial bond between Simon and Vegasport. However, with that relationship beginning to rust and both parties agreeing to split at the end of Season 4, the move makes perfect logical sense. Simon has thoroughly proven his worth over the last two seasons as a race winner and front runner, earning his spot at the top tier of the sport.
The transfer sees Simon take over the seat of veteran Martijn van't Land, placing immediate pressure on his shoulders. Racing for Inforward brings massive responsibility, as the team operates under relentless expectations to deliver at the front of the field every weekend. Those are exceptionally large shoes to fill, and the paddock are already debating whether Simon is fully prepared for the weight of the role. All eyes will be on the Inforward garage when testing for Season 5 begins to see if Simon will sink or swim under the spotlight. It'll be the number 1 and number 87 sharing the same garage for Season 5.
Vegasport, all eyes are on you now. Don't keep us waiting long!
