RICHMOND, B.C.) – OpenRoad Auto Group is pleased to announce that Remo Ruscitti has been selected to join OpenRoad Racing as their new head driver for the 2017 GT3 Challenge Canada.

The 23-year-old race car driver from Burnaby, B.C. was chosen based his outstanding performance during a recent shootout at Area 27 Motorsports Park in Osoyoos, B.C. where he competed against four other young Canadian race car drivers and won.

“We’ve had our eye on Remo for some time now and we think that he’s got a chance to become one of the best professional race car drivers in Canada,” said Christian Chia, President & CEO of OpenRoad Auto Group. “We’re thrilled to bring him on board and look forward to a successful racing season ahead!”

Ruscitti succeeded in becoming OpenRoad’s top pick despite competing in unfavourable weather conditions over the course of two days at Area 27 in Osoyoos, B.C., proving to the OpenRoad team that he’s got what it takes to come out a winner.

“It was a challenging shootout but it worked out in my favour and I’m beyond excited and humbled to have been chosen to race and represent OpenRoad Racing and Porsche Centre Langley in 2017,” said Ruscitti. “I can’t thank Christian and his team enough for this opportunity and I’m eager to hit the track with them again later this month.

The 2017 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada will be OpenRoad Racing’s fourth season competing in the national motorsports competition. In 2014, OpenRoad won the championship with their former race car driver, Scott Hargrove followed by a second place win in 2016.
