Ryan Tuerck Moves to a FR-S For 2013
So this morning renderings of a new Scion FR-S to be piloted by Ryan Tuerck in the 2013 Formula D season are circling the internet.

I will be honest I am REALLY surprised to see Tuerck moving off the Silvia chassis given his love from them but I guess the power to weight possibilities of the FR-S have bitten hard this reason in Formula D.
