From CTCC
Going into the last stretch of the season, Canadian Touring Car Championship (CTCC) competitors are always looking forward to going back to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Historic, difficult, challenging and fast, Canada's home of motorsport is hosting the CTCC presented by Continental Tire once again.
With only one event to go after the Chevrolet Silverado 250, Velocity Motorsport Club/Honda Civic Si driver Scott Nicol (Barrie, ON) leads the way with a strong advantage in Super Class with 982 points.
Almost nose-to-nose in second place are teammates G1 Racing/Hyundai Genesis Coupe teammates Bob Attrell (Brampton, ON) with 798 points and Jonathan Rashleigh (Caledon, ON) with 795 points.
A tad behind, but close enough to be challenging, QuickSeries/Lachute Performance/ Subaru WRX Roger Ledoux (Rigaud, QC) is ready to jump up to the next position if one of the drivers in front of him makes the slightest mistake.
Last year Touring Class Champion, Blanchet Motorsports/Honda Civic Si Damon Sharpe (Tottenham, ON) is ferociously defending his first CTCC championship this year, but he has to constantly fight with his rival Team Octane/MINI Cooper S JCW Michel Sallenbach (Roxton Pond, QC). Sallenbach leads Touring Class with 1107 points, but is staying vigilant, since Sharpe is very close behind with 1078 points.
So far, both drivers have presented great battles and strong competition. Team Octane drivers also hold third and fourth positions in the Championship as teammates Eric Lacouture (Lorraine, QC) and Carlos Tesler-Mabe (Vancouver, BC) respectively have 1003 and 963 points.
In B-Spec Class, the Chevrolet Silverado 250 will be the fourth and last event of the season. The leader with 708 points is Ste-Rose Honda Racing/Honda Fit Karl Wittmer (Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC), followed by veteran Lucky7/Mazda2 Normand Boyer (Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, QC) with 660. In third place is Team Octane/MINI Cooper S JCW Alain Lauzière (Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC).
Weekend Schedule:
Saturday, August 31th, CTCC competitors will have a qualifying session at 8:45 a.m., followed by Round Eleven at 3:00 p.m.
Sunday, drivers will be back on the track for a qualifying session at 9:45 a.m. and will be competing for Round Twelve at 4:45.
CTCC drivers will be available for fans during an autograph session on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
In addition to the live-timing (www.livetiming.net/ctcc), fans can also follow the race with the new CTCC App that can be downloaded for free on your smartphone.
