Introducing the Teams and Pilots of the 2040 Formula High-Powered Season
Team: Velvet Works (AMAX V-21S)
Founded: 2019 (as Velvet-Forkner Group)
Origin Country: Great Britain
When Velvet Works was formed in 2019 (then known as VELVET-FORKNER Group), it was because of a partnership agreement between former Chaparell engineer, Eric Howard and Australian businessman Tom Forkner. Howard's engineering genius was a crucial aspect of Chaparell's 2018 championship with then-second pilot Tobias Newbridge while Tom Forkner heard of FH competition through several of his colleagues over at the Sydney Research Institute. After a few unsuccessful seasons, they claimed that 2023 would be there breakout year due to critically acclaimed engine supplier, AMAX Industries hopped on board, they were not to disappoint with 2023 lead pilot Davie Carter secured medal positions along with Franz Schallrotte, then-lead pilot of Compass and 2023 champion Daisuke Kazomura, then-lead pilot of C&M following the departure of 2022 champion Fritz Hecthor. The team enjoyed moderate success in the 2020's of FH racing with Julian Dartanius being regarded as one of the greatest FH pilots of all time with the team's famous machine codenamed "HRESVELGR", In 2035, Forkner resigned his position as co-founder to form his own team following the death of his protégé, Daniel Jevons (the son of FH founder, Jet Jevons) during the 2035 season finale. Despite the departure, Howard was able to run an FH team on his own with lead pilot Carl Endumion comfortably winning the 2039 championship and recently acquiring Ofelia Endumion from the departing Compass Racing they will do whatever it takes to defend the title for the 2040 season.
Lead Pilot: Carl Endumion (GBR)-This is his 3rd year of FH competition and is the 2039 FH champion. He has a calm demeanor even in the technical circuits of the FH calendar, he joined VELVET works in 2039 after his second place championship finish in his rookie year while he was at Forkner Performance by 3 points behind then-lead pilot of Team Weimar and eventual 2038 champion, Christie Wright. He eventually took the 2039 championship from Christie Wright and with Wright out of the FH scene and new competition behind him, he has every right to remain confident in his title defense.
Second Pilot: Ofelia Endumion (GBR) – Ofelia Endumion is the younger brother of 2039 champion Carl Endumion, she was tabbed by Carl Endumion to race for Velvet Works following her previous team, Compass Racing, withdrew from FH competition following numerous sponsorhip issues and financial issues within the team. She is more outspoken compared to her brother and is in a rivalry with Weimar's lead pilot, Marien Schallrotte following an altercation between the two over the outcome of the 2039 Bramble Yard Grand Prix. She hopes to have a more successful FH campaign now that she's been hired by one of the most formidable teams on the FH circuit.
