David Ostella announced today he is officially off to open-wheel car racing as he has signed with Eurointernational to contest the 2008 Formula BMW Americas Championship.
Ostella tested for three days in Italy last December, turning laps in a Eurointernational FBMW car at the Circuito Valle dei Templi, in Sicily. The 16-year-old handled both wet and dry conditions very well, and negotiations began for the coming season.
Eurointernational has the most wins in the history of Formula BMW USA from only three years of participation. It has produced 35 podiums from 40 starts, including 15 wins, 17 fastest laps, 11 poles and 7 track records.
It has scored back-to-back Team and Driver Championships - a fact well known to Ostella and fellow Canadians as they came at the hands of Robert Wickens and Daniel Morad during rounds at Mosport International Raceway.
Morad remains with the team as well, contesting the Atlantic Championship, and will be working with Ostella in the year ahead.
