Dino’s Diary: Introducing An Idea

(C) FIA Formula 2 Website

Hello JLF1 readers. My name is Dino Zamparelli and my goal is to reach the pinnacle of motorsport, Formula 1. I'm a 19 year old, British racing driver who clinched the 2008 Ginetta Junior championship and the 2011 Formula Renault BARC title. This year I will embark on a new challenge, the Formula 2 series. Throughout the 2012 season I will be taking you on my journey through Dino's Diary, a new JLF1 feature. I will be writing updates on my season and hopefully giving you insight into my career and journey.


Firstly, ok well not much to say. Well there is but the truth of the matter is that I’ve been so busy, I can’t think to write everything. But, I can do my best to update you on my progress.

Having won the Formula Renault BARC Championship last year and being selected as a finalist for the McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award; I needed to race this year in 2012. I already did the year out in 2010 and that was no fun. So I set about, from January until April, getting the sponsorship required to go racing.

Motorsport is expensive, painfully so. I rely entirely on sponsorship. So I came up with an idea. One of the ways that I decided would help get me sponsorship would be to sign up to Twitter and to increase my awareness on my Facebook Racing Page. Both social media platforms are hugely powerful tools in order to advertise my racing.

I got Twitter and set my Facebook Racing Page in January this year. I’ve currently got around 500 followers and over a 1000 likes on my Facebook racing page. Why is this important? It’s important because, the more followings and the more support I have on these social media platforms, the more scope I have of getting sponsorship. If I go to a potential sponsor with thousands of followers on Twitter and thousands of likes on Facebook; I can walk into their door and blow them away by saying, “this is how many people follow and support me on Twitter and Facebook; this is how many people we can interact with in a matter of moments…now let me show you what I’m offering…”

So with that, do feel free to follow me on Twitter: @DinoZamparelli and like my Facebook Racing Page: Dino Zamparelli Racing.
I
f you are unsure about any of what I mentioned above…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUkHvy5MvNY That’s me talking about it on a Formula 2 car at Silverstone. I did do the Cliché and sit on the front tyre, but like I said in the video, ‘that’s the way it goes.’

What’s the next entry in this diary? I’m not sure yet, come back next time to find out.

P.s. subscribe to my YouTube account to see lots of cool videos coming up.

JackLeslieF1 presents Dino's Diary

JLF1 is proud to announce an exciting regular feature involving one of the UK's best motorsport talents. Dino Zamparelli is taking in the FIA Formula 2 championship in 2012 as will be sharing his story and journey with the http://www.jackleslief1.blogspot.co.uk/ readers.

Dino began racing go karts at the tender age of 7, before progressing up the ranks of karting. In 2008 Zamparelli burst onto the scene in the Ginetta Junior championship, watched by thousands as one of the BTCC support races. He won the championship in 2008 and progressed on to Formula Renault, finishing 3rd in the FR BARC series. It was an impressive feat for someone in the debut single seater season. After missing out on racing in 2010 due to financial restraints he made his racing comeback a year later, winning the Formula Renault BARC title.


For 2012 Dino is working extremely hard at gaining sponsorship for the whole Formula 2 season. The championship is extremely tough, with  the winner being awarded an F1 test. Dino has so far completed the F2 test and the first 2 rounds at Silverstone, finishing 9th (after a mechanical fault towards the end of the race) and 6th respectively. Not only is Dino fast, he is also determined. He has been pushing forward to raise the sponsorship needed to compete in the full F2 2012 season, something I really hope he can achieve.

Dino's Diary will take you through his season in 2012, giving you insight into the path of one of motorsports rising stars. The monthly feature will contain summaries of his race weekends and what he has been up to off the race track.
Look out for the first Dino's Diary extract, coming soon to JLF1.
