Ari Heinonen moves to Agama for 2015

Nemo Racing have announced that top Finnish racer Ari Heinonen will be running the new Agama A215 Buggy in 2015. After coming to the UK for a test session with Darren Bloomfield, Ari was delighted with the performance of the new car and took only a few days to decide that he wanted to be part of the Nemo Racing family in 2015. Having set some stunning times at the Euros in 2014, he was unlucky to not make the main final as his pace was clearly good enough for such a top result. To complete his race package, Ari will use Bullitt engines, Beta tyres & accessories and Piranha Fuel.
