Brian Graham Racing Team Grote is pleased to announce its second driver for the 2010 Ontario Formula Ford Championship. 16 year-old Ayrton Triolo will join the team for his first full season after testing for the 2009 season in the team's F1200 program. A successful FF test in the fall with BGR prompted the step up. Preseason testing will commence at Shannonville Motorsports Park April 23-24.
The former Rotax Junior Champion will look to capture the team's fifth straight Rookie of The Year honours but will face stiff competition from within his own team with Taylor Near, soon-to-be-announced additional teammates, as well as some other rookies joining the OFFC.
Ayrton is joined in his rookie campaign by his sponsors Canada Wide Reinforcing Steel and Trick Designs Fiberglass; both returning for their third years.
"We are very happy to have Ayrton come to the team," said team principal Brian Graham. "He showed well last season in the F1200 and the fall test went very well in the FF. He worked well with the engineer and his feedback was quite good and that will pay dividends over the season. We have data from some of the OFFC's best drivers over the last few years including lap records at the three tracks we visit and that will be helpful to our rookies."
Ayrton will fly in for the events from his home in Saskatoon (SK) and will spend some time with the team over the summer, as well. To learn more about Ayrton's program visit www.ayrtontriolo.com. For more info on BGR visit www.briangrahamracing.com.
