Massen made the move up to the Dutch Formula Renault Championship where he showed his potential with some good results. Massen subsequently went on to compete in the Formula Renault Eurocup where he was always considered one of the top young drivers. Last year he finished an impressive third place in the North European Formula Renault championship.

Xavier Maassen : “Signing for Prema Power in the World Series is like a dream come true. We worked hard to achieve our goal to drive for a top team in the World Series. This goal has now become reality. Prema is one of those teams that I have always wanted to work with from the time that I started in motorsport. I am looking forward on working with the guys and the team. I am very motivated to do a good job with the team and achieve some good results in my rookie year. It will be a big leap stepping up from Formula Renault 2.0 to the World Series; with Prema I am confident we can make this step with success.”
