Autotecnica announces its participation in Star Mazda

Today, Autotecnica announces its participation in the 2010 Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear.

Three Star Mazda cars have arrived today at Autotecnica’s dedicated 2,500 square foot racing facility. One driver is already confirmed and will soon be announced by the team.

Team Manager Enrico Diano states, “Rigorous testing will begin in late December in Florida and will continue into 2010 as part of our development and full driver training package. Winning is our expertise and we will push hard right out of the box to be competitive. We’ve always set the example with our first-class operations and services and look forward to continuing this in the Star Mazda series with our new clientele."

Autotecnica will also field multiple F2000 cars to create a development ladder within the team with another driver already confirmed. More details regarding this program will follow in the next few weeks.

The Toronto based team has established itself as a title contender in all of its open-wheeled racing efforts since it was founded seven years ago. Autotecnica started in 2002 in the Formula Renault 2000 category winning several races and a championship. Formula BMW followed from 2004 until 2009 with countless wins and four championships. Now, Autotecnica will enter the Star Mazda Championship to continue as a top-level driver training group and racing services provider.

“We have a lot to give to our clients who hire us for our expertise in professional driver training and for our excellent reputation as a racing service provider," continues Diano, “We have always been front runners in North America and have won several championships to prove it. 2010 will be an exciting year for Autotecnica."
