Career

Karting

Born in Milan, Schirò began karting in 2007 and raced both in his native Italy and Europe for the majority of his karting career, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF2 category a year later, when he finished 28th in the European KF2 Championship.[1]

Formula Abarth

In 2010, Schirò graduated to single–seaters into the newly launched Formula Abarth series, competing with Emmebi Motorsport. He only finished five races inside the top twenty placings and finished the season in 29th place.[2]

European F3 Open

Schirò stepped up to the European F3 Open Championship in 2011, joining RP Motorsport.[3] He finished all but one of the season's races in the points, including two second-place finishes at Brands Hatch. This brought him fifth place in the final championship standings.[4]

Schirò remained in the championship in 2012 with the same team.[5] He scored four wins at Le Castellet and Monza and clinched the championship title ahead of teammate Gianmarco Raimondo, having trailed by fifteen points heading into the final weekend in Barcelona.[6]

International GT Open

Schirò made his sports car racing debut in the SGT class of the International GT Open in 2013, racing for Drivex School.[7] He finished fourth in the GTS standings with three class wins.[8]

After competing for the Villorba Corse in the final round at Barcelona, Schirò would continue his partnership with the team in 2014.[9]

Auto GP

Schirò made his Auto GP début in 2014 at Le Castellet, joining Ibiza Racing.[10]
