CCTCC: Championship Season Finale this weekend at Mosport

The feature race of the BEMC Indian Summer Trophy Races weekend is the Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship Presented By Toyo Tires.  The Championship’s eighth and finale race weekend of the year will challenge Mosport International Raceway’s high speed corners.  The Championship will visit Mosport as part of eight different weekends in Quebec and Ontario.

 

The Championship is comprised of two Classes of racecars; Touring Class in the entry level Class where only minimal modifications are allowed while Super Touring Class has the powerful heavily modified racecars with engines up to 2.8 litres.  Drivers can start out in Touring Class and develop their racecraft and then move up to Super Touring Class when they are ready for more power and speed.  Both Classes compete at the same time on the track and challenge for supremacy in their Class which creates an amazing show.  Touring Class racecars are easy to recognize because they have blue windshield banners and headlights while Super Touring Class has yellow windshield banners and headlights.

 

After seven weekends of racing, Nigel Krikorian of Markham, Ontario (Krikorian Motorsports) leads in Super Touring Class driving his Subaru over Etienne Borgeat of Montreal, Quebec (GT Racing) in his BMW followed by Peter Lejbjuk of Barrie, Ontario (VMC) in his Honda.  The racing in Super Touring Class has been fast and intense throughout the season between some of the top-prepared racecars in Canada.

 

Andre Rapone of Thornhill, Ontario (Durabond Racing) leads in Touring Class driving his Acura over his brother Anthony Rapone of Thornhill, Ontario (Durabond Racing) followed by Christian Raymond of St-Jerome, Quebec (TwoFast Racing) driving his Mazda.  The racing in Touring Class has been extremely close this year with only a few seconds separating the top drivers in qualifying and races.

 

The Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship Presented by Toyo Tires is sponsored by CSC Racing, Toronto TireCraft, Sigma Promotions and Mad Macs Communications + Graphics.  The Championship is supported by Racing Radios, President Champagne, Leaf Racewear, RaceDV and Impact Custom Canopy.
