Sepang, Selangor – April 14, Since the electrifying Color Rise Harmony Fuji 5 Hours event in early March, the ARO has seen a flurry of high-profile driver transfers that are set to reshape the competitive landscape for the upcoming season. Amid the shifting dynamics, several confirmed changes have been announced over the past days, with the latest developments emerging from the ARO headquarters and social media feeds.
In a confirmed announcement earlier today at 6:33 PM Malaysian local time, it was revealed that Seo Byeong-Eun has been benched to pave the way for the long-awaited "Elfriend" Rey Mark Rosales in the Shiranui Flare cars. In a related move, Johan Sinful has departed from ARO, with Chaka Labradores stepping in as the new driver for Natsuiro Matsuri. This change has been discussed on Twitter under the #AROCompetitions hashtag and marks a significant adjustment for the team.
Just a few hours prior at 12:18 PM local time, another set of transfers was confirmed. Khawaja Masoor has been announced as the replacement for the retiring Sean Poly, who had been a stalwart for Inugami Korone. Additionally, Jace Kinsai will take over from Tamoyuki Aoki as the driver for Takane Lui, signaling a new direction as the teams prepare for the next HoloGT3 round.
Earlier, on April 9 at 11:30 PM local time, a breaking tweet sent shockwaves through the community when it was reported that Sean Poly had announced his immediate retirement from ARO competitions, prompting an urgent search for a replacement. Now, with Khawaja Masoor stepping into the role, Inugami Korone's team is set to rebuild and push forward with renewed vigor.
In another confirmed announcement from April 3 at 11:26 PM, Tomas Ferreira resigned from his position, and Tawan Bhumin has been named as his replacement in Fuwawa Abyssgard in International races. Meanwhile, Ethan Berthelsen remains with ARO and will continue to race for Koganei Niko, beginning with this month's HoloType Japan race at Autopolis and FHolo in SUGO later in the month, amidst initial uncertainty to where Berthelsen will race following Mumei's graduation later this month.
With all these driver transfers now in place, the upcoming races promise an exciting mix of continuity and fresh talent. As teams adjust and new pairings form, fans can look forward to even more dramatic races and dynamic battles across ARO competitions.
