Keith Boston will remain with the team for a second season having started 2017 with the previous incarnation - Grip Autosport - while Kiara Thunder - who joined part-way through from Formula Virtual team Holmqvist - will also stick around to contest a full season with the new Dutch outfit.
Team principal Roos Vroom commented: "With so much change, it was important we kept a bit of stability so we weren't totally starting afresh. Keith put in a brilliant season last year but was blighted by technical issues that we hope to resolve for next year, while Kiara was strong and showed the real flashes of brilliance that won her the 2015 FV2 Series title." Alongside the two returnees will be Jochem van Snelheid. The Dutchman joins from Formula Virtual after two years spent with Lopez - briefly Franklin - and Ocelot, before finding himself without a drive ahead of 2018. "As a proud Dutch national, the one thing I was always convinced about was that one driver had to be Dutch," Vroom commented. "We're delighted we've been able to pick Jochem up as he's a real start, but unfortunately hasn't been given the chance to shine in Formula Virtual." van Snelheid was unavailable for comment but did tweet: "So happy to confirm I'm joining @VroomAutosport next year! It will be a new and different challenge that I am relishing. Thank you to everyone in FV over the last two years, let's make this last race one to remember! #FVFinale #NewChapter" van Snelheid will be driving #47, while Boston will take #46 with Kiara Thunder in #48.
