The team also added British Formula Renault to their program, campaigning Venezuelan Juan José Font to fifth in the championship.

[2] Drivers Peter Owen and Mark Smithson entered select races before attaining victory in their SR2 category at Kyalami in the season finale.

The entry was doubled heading into the 2000 season, with Owen and Smithson sharing one car and campaigned in the early races by Werner Lupberger.

Owen and Smithson graduated to the new car as well, scoring a best finish of fourth at Monza after a late pit stop for emergency repairs while leading the race scuttled a potential victory.
