Career

Early Career

Baromono racing career started as a 15 year old driving in the Belgian Kart Series hoping that the performances that he got would get him into the local touring car series. The young debut showed early talent as he won the first two rounds of the season with easy success. In the end he completely dominated winning that season and then the next with by miles as he showed some skills to compete. In the final race of the 2002 season he got an offer from Sam Schmidt Motorsports to compete in the Indy Lights series which Sam accepted.

Indy Lights

With he's offer being accepted he went to Phoenix International Raceway and Sam Baromono struggled in the bank track as he qualified 15th place. The race was a little better as he came in 11th place to open his account with 19 points. That would be his only race though as he didn't accept the other offers as went back to the Belgian Kart Series where he took his third championship in a row.

Champ Car

2004

Once again, he got an offer from the USA to compete over there with the offer being Champ Car team Walker Racing to replace Rodolfo Lavín. Sam Baromono looked at the offer and agreed to compete in all of the races outside of the United States before hopefully competing in all of the races for 2005. In the first race for the team, he's karting skills look on song with grid 3 before taking the victory in the race. Over at Toronto, Baromono struggled as a heavy crash in Part 1 of qualifying made his weekend very bad as he could only score a 16th when he crashed into the turn 3 wall. It was a lot better in Vancouver with his racing spirit as he finished in 11th place, 1 lap behind the winner Paul Tracy.

Montreal was once again as he got in Grid 4 for the race around Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The weather was at it's best and Boromono got off to a brilliant start in the race as he went quickly up the leaderboard. He kept clean as he finished 4th to get above the 50 point mark.

Surfers Paradise was the race to be known as he had to move in the brand new number 16 car of Walker Racing. The car though didn't like the track as he struggled finishing only in 13th (Q) and 11th (R). The final race of the season he skipped as he crashed and being too damaged he didn't went onto the race.

Formula Renault 3.5

2005

With all hope gone, Sam Baromono got a call from Carlin Motorsport to compete in the final round of the Formula Renault 3.5 series. He of course laughed at the joke knowing he wasn't the best driver there was. Another driver should of taken this spot that was emptied by Will Power. He said why not and we went to Monza to compete in the 3.5 series. He came to Monza and showed potential but couldn't get into the points. But he did keep his seat with Mikhail Aleshin being his partner.

2006

The first race of the brand new season was at his home track and his first race he showed on his home track by taking both races and also taking home pole in the first race of the season. He was shocked as he had the early lead in the championship. His run continued as he took home pole and then race in Monaco to extend his lead in the championship after two races.
