Correa makes Formula Renault switch

British F3 National Class race winner Victor Correa is to move to the Formula Renault UK Championship for the 2010 season.

Correa, who finished third in the standings last season with the Litespeed team, has inked a deal to join Harry Tincknell, Robert Foster-Jones and Michael Lyons in the CRS Racing line-up for the upcoming Formula Renault campaign and said he was ready for the new challenge.

"Formula Renault will be a good challenge for me," the Brazilian said. "The new car looks very interesting and it will be a good opportunity for me to show what I can do in an equal car.

"I chose CRS because I think it is the best team with a vey good structure and I think that, as a team, we can fight for the championship. I think we will have a good year together and hope that we can go out there and compete for victories."

Correa will test the CRS car at Brands Hatch this week during official pre-season testing.
