Drivers: Christian Høfler (Denmark) - Andreas Jacobsen (Denmark) - Morten Iversen (Denmark)

Team Vikings Racing is a joint venture by racers from two of the most prominent clubs in the Copenhagen area in Denmark. They have allready won several local Gr. C, GT and even SLP type races.

Team Trondheim has it's base in the club who has the newly built MTT track, but they have also chosen to take Jostein Vandås from Oslo into the driving strength.

Team SLOTfabrik - Germany
Slotfabrik is the team of Fola Osu a master builder and a very acomplished slotracer. Fola uses his own SLOTfabrik SLP chassis with lots of built in gizmos. This is a team to watch out for as they will most certainly be at the very front of the field.
Body: #17 Pescarolo Peugeot 908 HDi FAB
Chassis: SLOTfabrik SLP Mk. IIIB
Drivers: Fola Osu (Nigeria) - Pierre Jung (Germany) - Tamar Nelwan (Netherlands)
RaceFun 2 - Denmark

His teammates in this "oldboys" tema is long time slotracer Erik Noltensmeier who normaly races ISRA type machins very effectively, having won several Danish Championships over the years. The last driver is Lennart Sørensen who mostly races 1/32 but has ventured into the DKPM world lately. Yet another strong Danish team.

True North Racing - Canada/Sweden
The newest addition to the OEPS 2010 series is this North American team of Mark Campbell.

Body: #6 Porsche RS Spyder
Chassis: Julia 1B
Drivers: Mark Campbell (Canada) - Lars Harisson (Sweden) - Christer Helgesson (Sweden)
Team Fox Racing - Netherlands
A father and son combination who both love the exotic cars that have been seen over the last decades. In their quest to race these cars, their home is packed with rare, hard to find kits that a lot of modellers would kill for, and we can be sure their #20 Dyson Porsche will be looking very 1/1-ish.
