From GP3 press release
Ocean Racing Technology will take over from Tech 1 Racing in the 2012 GP3 championship.
The Portuguese team have been involved in GP2 Series since 2009 and showed a strong interest in participating in GP3 Series as well.
After they reached an agreement with Tech 1 Racing, it has been decided that Ocean Racing will enter the Series for this season.
They will be on track for the first time next week in Barcelona for the official pre-season testing.
For the Portuguese team led by José Guedes and Tiago Monteiro this entry is a logical step - GP2 and GP3 being two worldwide respected Series: "After Ocean was given an entry into GP2 Series and following the inception of GP3, our goal has always been to put in place a GP3 team as well. However we did not expect it to be so soon, but the opportunity to take over from Tech 1 arose and we decided to take it."
