His rally driving team, Rami Racing, is headquartered in Italy.

Career

In 2007 Rami left the world of motor sports for undisclosed "family reasons", but he returned successfully in 2010 to win the Middle East championship in group A7 and the national rallies in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Shortly following his successes in 2010, Rami founded his own rally driving team in Italy, Rami Racing. Rami Racing is managed and marketed by the motor sports marketing firm, RNG Media, which Rami also established in 2011 and where he currently serves as CEO.

In addition to marketing Rami Racing, RNG Media is the named producer of Rami's notable short film, Two Hours to Vegas. Two Hours to Vegas was shot in Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, NV during the Spring of 2015, with Rami starring as the protagonist. Rami is currently in pre-production on his next short action film, Fate.[5] Fate will star Rami alongside American actor Wentworth Miller and is due for limited release in 2016. Parts of Fate are slated to be shot in Los Angeles, CA and other parts in Rami's native Oulu, Finland.
