2012 beckons, the harsh winter is almost over! On March 6th, the all new for 2012 Phenomenal Racers team (under the Team Vodafone banner) will take to the track in Japan.

2012 is to provide one of the biggest shake ups in recent years. The successful formula of the 2011 season has been carried over, but 2012 sees a move to Forza Motorsport 4, and with that comes changes to the cars behaviour, a larger grid, and many many brand new cars, including the successors to the ever dependable 2006 Ford Focus ST and the always popular line up of Honda models, and brand new for 2012 models from makes like Volkswagen, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Mini and Toyota



But for 2012, on the back of title success, Phenomenal returns back to it's Genisis (no, not the Hyundai that we ran briefly in 2010) in the ever dependable 2003 SEAT Leon Cupra R. The team also sports a bold new look. Last season the team had a very works VW feel to it with Hexis Energy. This year, Vodafone has returned to the TORA TCC with a season deal. Another vital component to this years team is the continued support from CQR. This year, the CQR support has increased considerably. In 2011 we ran with leftover 2010 data. For 2012, we have some direct support from the CQR team, to ensure that our little outfit can compete with the larger teams that have full-time engineers.



The team has four drivers in it's stable for this season. Three of those are the prime drivers. Myself (#1), Nick (#11) and Chad (#4) will be driving the prime cars for most of the season. We have one reserve driver in Ben (#19) who will fill in for one of our drivers in selected races.
