Racing career

edit

Altoè began his career in 2015 in Karting. In 2016 he switched to the Italian F4 Championship making his circuit racing debut, during the season he took six points finishes, on his way to finishing twenty-second in the standings.[1] He switched to the TCR Middle East Series for 2017, starting the season at the second round with Top Run Motorsport, before switching to Liqui Moly Team Engstler for the last round. He finished the season fifth in the standings, taking two podiums.[2][3]

In March 2017 it was announced that he would race in the TCR International Series, driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR for WestCoast Racing.[4] But he switched to M1RA for the round in Buriram - that was his final weekend of the year in the international field. [5]
