Canadian Touring Championship Entering the Second Half at Grand Prix of Mosport

Going into the second half of the Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship presented by Continental Tire (CTCC) 2011 season, the battle for the lead of the Championship gets interesting. Eight Rounds of fifteen overall have been completed.

Canadian Touring Car Championship

The leader of the Championship in Super Class is King City driver Richard Boake with 896 points. Out of eight Rounds, Boake has won six of them. Sure enough, he missed his chances for a clean-sweep in Rounds three and four at Circuit ICAR at the beginning of June. Boake has the lead in the Super Class standings with one hundred points over Quebec driver Etienne Borgeat in second, but it’s not a comfortable situation yet!

During Grand Prix of Mosport weekend, watch for Dean Fantin of Amherstburg in his white BMW 330I with Amico Racing. Fantin is in third position in the Super Class standings with 736 points. Also Sasha Anis, a very competitive driver, in fourth with his Hyundai Genesis Coupe. On the other hand, Ashton driver Arek Wojciechowski has earned five podium positions since the beginning of the season in his yellow BMW 328i. Wojciechowski experienced mechanical difficulties during Rounds seven and eight and is now at sixth place in Super Class standings with 553 points.

Leading in Touring Class is Markam driver Tom Kwok with 891 points. Kwok, in his Honda Civic Si, has made every podium since the beginning of the season. No matter what, Kwok went home with a trophy in first, second or third positions and that’s the way he likes it. In Touring Class, the competition is much closer and the order could change very quickly if one of the top drivers has the smallest problem. Seventy-eight points are separating Tom Kwok (1st/891 pts) from his brother Gary (4th/813 pts), teammates in M&S Racing and driving Honda Civics. Between them, small but very powerful, are the MINIs driven by Octane Motorsport teammates Michel Sallenbach (2nd/869 pts) and Alain Lauzière (3rd /853 pts).

The two Class points leaders are dedicated to winning and their passion is driving them there. But, anything can happen and the CTCC season is not over yet. Several Competitors have encountered all kinds of difficulties and misfortunes during the past Rounds and they are now ready to compete for the front.

At Grand Prix of Mosport on July 22nd to 24th, Rounds nine and ten will be battled and we are expecting these to be challenging and competitive. Don’t miss it, it’s a must see!
