Naples, FL (January 7, 2012) – TTM Racing announced today the signing of Canadian Ryan Verra as a driver for the team’s Formula 1000 Championship squad. Ryan will pilot the team’s Phoenix F1K-09, car# 5.

“I am very excited for the opportunity to race in the Formula 1000 Championship Series with TTM Racing,” said Verra. “I believe with such a high caliber team head by the experience of Mike G, and a very competitive car built by Phoenix Race Works, will allow me to put my driving to the test where the sign on the door of opportunity can only read “Push”. With such an array of strong, experienced and talented drivers on the roster, I can only look forward to learning from the best; as you can only learn from a better opponent.”

The team principal's surname is solely the letter 'G'???... very mysterious, very hip... since his driver has mastered the adjacent Bridgestone Racing Academy kart track, Mosport proper should be an absolute slice of cake...

So you guy's have now actually purchased a car to have driven in the series?

We are actually getting two towards the end of this month and plan on starting to test in February. Ryan knows he has his work cut out for him against the veteran drivers of this class and that's its not going to be easy, but also understands that this is going to be a big learning year and wants to learn from the best. So give him some credit as he's at least going out there to do his best.
