Former Honda Racing F1 Team and Super Aguri test driver James Rossiter has headed out of the F1 test door and into an ALMS race seat.
The young driver, who has been part of Honda’s young driver programme since 2005, will be racing with the Andretti Green team in an Acura starting with the next round at the Road America race circuit.
He tested for both Honda and Aguri in his brief spell with Formula One, and at 24 years of age there is still plenty of opportunity for him to enter the top flight of motorsport. He wanted to race competitively on a regular basis having not completed a regular season since World Series Renault in 2006.
“I’m really looking forward to the new challenge, and to racing with Franck,” said Rossiter.
“I really just want to enter into this with the goal of learning as much as possible.”
Rossiter will partner former Aguri F1 driver, and Toyota test driver Franck Montagny.
