Red flags don’t count toward drive time. VDZ and Kobayashi did drive time in the overnight stints.

Many thanks for that snap of the Poutine Machine, #PlaidPorsche! - a caffeinated Canadian

Dont forget Rast is in the other car too, and he still races for the DTM team.

Just putting this out there, but James’ video was a lot better quality.

You can find all coverage from the event on their media site, this image in particular is available in a 17MP size but some of the DTM photos are impressive as well.

I mean yeah when you don’t have any regulations to build to, you can just push out prototype designs as you see fit. They already had an EV drivetrain testing in a Golf TCR and Norma already had a chassis available.

Need to give teams time to adjust their programs to budget shock; there was probably a very good reason why the TCR season was so short. It’s no different than when PWC opened up their TC class, where the majority of the field was the M235i and the handful of RS3 LMSs had to be BOPd back.

FWIW, Hyundai Racing Canada did campaign a pair of Genesii in our eastern touring car class for a few years (although as of late they’ve downsized to just one car, from the prior pair of poopy-liveried cars).

The solution is clearly to skip the building part and jump straight into the 1:18 diecast rabbit hole.

Deadmau5 sold his P1 a few years ago.

There are some owners whose special cars they take out in the public very infrequently. Car collectors or owners who just want to remain private. 

Kind of funny how they attempted to blur the plate, when the car is extremely well known in Toronto where it’s from. The owner, Tim, has a vast fleet of cars and used to run a charity event with proceeds going towards cancer research. He and his wife frequently ship all their cars down to Florida for the winter,…

EVs are great for packaging but the components themselves are much heavier when put together as a finished system. Granted when you have to retrofit an existing car you can’t exactly cram so much capacity into it so you wouldn’t be as heavy as a purpose designed floor.

I was a blast when Absolute ran the cars in PWC the past few years, but nowadays those chassis live in China. Can’t wait for KPAX to bring the new generation to competition in the new year.

RLM had the imsatv feed broadcasting unrestricted I believe.

The early homologation GTRs were very difficult to extract the most performance out of, especially so for a privateer. The new car is said to be significantly easier to drive consistently, with even better support. I believe Nissan still runs the GT3 program through JRM in addition to Nismo.

“What a mental guy”

Hai

The Honda Indy Toronto is among my favourite events on my annual calendar, so that’s a yes from at least 1 person.

New VW and Audis are alright in this regard, provided you give them a few thousand extra because you want it in a Skittles colour. (but really the deep purple looks really good on a Golf)
