From press release
The Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs for the Ontario region (CASC-OR) and Move Motorsports Management jointly announced today an innovative driver development program aimed at the regional karting community.
“We are extremely excited to be able to make this announcement today,” said CASC-OR President Perry Iannuzzi.
“This program has been developed to further enhance our relationship with the club level karting community. While we are looking to grow regional road racing and believe there are many karters that would be interested in making the jump, we are also committed to using our events, resources and reach within the racing community to help foster the growth of kart racing.” he added.
The "Karts to Cars" driver development program will be open to residents of Ontario, 15 and older, racing karts at the club level. It is not a program based on race wins and championships but more targeted towards the grassroots racer with a passion for the sport and a huge desire to race cars, for fun.
The winners will be judged by a selection committee and awarded an F1600 experience in October of this year with three of the Toyo Tires F1600 Championships top teams, during their series sampler days.
Registration will be done online, the details and criteria of the process to be made public the weekend of the Honda Indy Toronto.
Move Motorsports, promoter of both the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship and the newly launched F2000 Canada, will be responsible for the execution of the program.
They will be attending karting events in an effort to encourage registration in the scholarship as well as raising the awareness of the entire road-racing scene, from driving to marshaling and volunteering.
The first event for the program will be the Honda Indy Toronto where an F1600 racecar will be on display along with a kart and some ambassadors from both genres.
Additionally, Move Motorsports will be inviting karters from a number of clubs to come down to the track on Make A Wish free Friday to tour the F1600 paddock and get a chance to watch the action from their trackside suite.
