The following year, the team achieved their second victory and first pole position from Jordan King at Taupo.[1] In 2013, the team saw their first champion crowned with Nick Cassidy claiming his second successive title.[2] Since then, the team has taken Lance Stroll, Lando Norris, Robert Shwartzman and Liam Lawson to the TRS title as well as fielding the likes of Earl Bamber, Alex Lynn, Raffaele Marciello, Marcus Armstrong and Richard Verschoor.
