Overview

Back with a vengeance after five years of uncertainty behind the scenes, Piranha bring what's claimed to be the engine with the fastest top end performance since the return of professional AG Racing in 2197. None, except maybe Icaras with their own extreme power-plant, are going to argue the point.

Now back under the control of the Brazilian government, the Piranha team don't have the financial depth that they previously enjoyed. The new chassis needs work, too – it's not the best when the track gets twisty. But that engine is going to be hard to beat in a straight line, make no mistake.

Team Data Release

Statement issued by Piranha Director of Racing Operations, Zack Vilma, São Paulo, Brazil.

Since the turn of the century and the passing of Aries Piermont, Piranha has travelled a sometimes difficult and treacherous path.

With Aries' death I lost a great friend and a man I looked to daily for guidance and inspiration. Piranha the team lost not just our leader, but our reason for being. Thus, we have struggled on like a ship without a rudder for the past six years, unsure of tomorrow, unsure of our ultimate destiny.

Now, as the man chosen to replace Aries Piermont, I have set our team on the road to recovery mindful of something he once told me: 'It is not enough just to run the team – one must lead the team.'

For Brazil, for the fans, and for Aries I will do my very best to follow that advice and return our team to the front of the pack, starting with the inaugural season of the FX400 Racing League.
