Holmqvist have become the third team to unveil their 2018 challenger as the wraps were taken off the FH-003, the first Formula Virtual car to be powered by a Koenigsegg engine. New driver pairing Will Hoskins and Tumo Kinnumen - reunited after a stint together with Westwood back in 2015 - pulled the covers off the car, launched at the teams base in Malmö, Sweden. The car was launched with a shark fin - meaning all three so far have been - and a striking new angular livery with heavy Koenigsegg presence, while retaining the now familiar Holmqvist colours. The teams drivers were bullish of their chances in the upcoming season. Hoskins said: "Me and Tumo worked really well together last time, and push each other to perform at the maximum which is crucial. It should work well to help propel us up the field." Kinnumen agreed, adding: "The numbers look very promising, especially from the new engine, which is a really positive surprise. We saw Volvo join last year with FUN and struggle, but Koenigsegg appear to have nailed it. The proof will be when we get on track, but I have every confidence me and Will will be fighting for points from the off." Team principal Cory Evans was slighted more reserved, but excited by his drivers enthusiasm. "The fact they are so excited and hopeful is great, you need drivers who believe. However as a team we need to be realistic, this is an incredibly tight series and there are twelve fantastic teams other than ourselves out there. If we can finish higher than last season that would be great, top five is the dream this year."

Bwoah... looks great! Still feels like the original Holmqvist, yet there's something that feels new on it. I think Kinnumen could snatch a win this year
