DINO ZAMPARELLI
Today's Young Talent, Tomorrow's Champion

No.8

 

DinoDino's ambition has always been to be a Formula One Grand Prix racing driver, and with his early racing pedigree and fluency in four languages (english, italian, french and spanish), he certainly has all the markings of making it to the very top in motor sport.

Dino recently moved from driving karts to cars, joining the Ginetta Championship Junior Series. This Series was introduced in 2003 for racers aged 14 – 16 years old as a natural progression route from kart racing.

The 2008 season comprises of 12 race weekends with ten supporting the British Touring Cars and a further two at Ginetta standalone Festivals. The BTCC meetings are usually televised live on ITV4 on Sundays.

A 15 minute qualifying session determines grid positions for the weekend’s two 15-minute races. A driver’s fastest lap in this time is taken into account for race one’s grid, whilst their second fastest lap relates to their starting position for race two.

Dino's engineer and the team boss, Stef Matuszak says it all: 'He shows great promise. To come in and race a car like you have been racing for years is a fantastic achievement. I was impressed by his pure racing talent and the will to win. Which no doubt he will be doing regularly in 2008'.

So far this season Dino has won 10 races, achieved 14 podiums, and has set numerous records for fastest laps. Dino is developing the reputation of not only being very quick, but he is a very exciting driver to watch.
