From press release
Primetime Race Group has signed 19-year-old Canadian driver Kyle Marcelli to co-drive alongside team owner Joel Feinberg in the 2010 American Le Mans Series in the Le Mans Prototype Challenge class (LMPC).
Throughout 2009, Feinberg and Marcelli competed head to head in the ALMS feeder series each with a goal of making a future move into Le Mans Prototypes. Recognizing each other’s abilities behind the wheel as well as sharing the same aspirations as drivers, the two are excited to team up for a run at the LMPC season championship in 2010.
“This is a dream come true for me,” said Marcelli.
“When I was 13, my dad and I used to go to Mosport International Raceway each year when the American Le Mans Series arrived in late August. We would sit on top of Turn Two with thousands of others and watch the prototypes and GT cars race by. Six years later I have found myself behind the wheel.”
Marcelli started his career racing karts in Canada before he moved on to the Skip Barber, Formula Ford 1600 et 2000 series in 2007 and 2008.
He also competed in the Star Mazda Championship and in the Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship. In 2009, he graduated to the IMSA Lites series, racing in the L1 Class.
