Minsk-born Dmitry Suranovich comes to the 2012 Toyota Racing Series fresh from no less than eight races in the 2011 Formula Abarth single-seater series along with tests in GP3, Formula 3 and Formula Renault 2.0.

Arriving in single-seaters through the customary route of karting, Dmitry started in KF3 class in 2008, scoring a best of sixth at the CIK-FIA Monaco Kart Cup the following year, and stepped up to KF2 in 2010.  He says his aim through the five weekends of this year’s TRS series is to gain more experience in single-seater racing, and he has his eyes firmly set on a place in Formula One.
