Blainville (Qu\u00e9bec), June 7, 2010. \u2013 Mathieu and R\u00e9my Audette will be at the Mosport track this weekend to take part in no less than four races, two for Mathieu in the Canadian Touring Car Championship and two for R\u00e9my in the American open-wheel Formula 2000 series. This will be the only time this year that the two series will share the schedule, providing a unique occasion for the entire Audette Racing team from Blainville.<\/p>\n
Ranked fourth and third in the season\u2019s first two rounds last month, Mathieu Audette, who is aiming for nothing less than the 2010 Touring Car championship title, intends to pursue his streak this weekend : \u00ab we plan to maintain our consistency at the head of the pack. We attained our goal of finishing in the Top 5 at the first double-header and we\u2019re returning to Mosport with the same objective \u00bb explains the Quebec driver. \u00ab The suspension on our Acura RSX Type-S has again been improved and I am confident for another good result \u00bb he adds.<\/p>\n
As for sharing the spotlight with his brother R\u00e9my and the F2000, Mathieu pleasingly says : \u00ab it\u2019s the only time in the season when the Touring Car and F2000 series are at the same track. It\u2019s great for the team and my brother and I get to watch each other on the track and exchange driving and settings advice. It really is a special weekend for us \u00bb confides Mathieu.<\/p>\n
On his side, R\u00e9my Audette also started his season with front-runner rankings, earning a fifth place and a podium spot (second) at the Virginia Raceway in April. R\u00e9my, who is not contesting the entire Formula 2000 this year, is eyeing for a podium finish at Mosport \u201cI\u2019m very enthusiastic going into this weekend. It\u2019s the only time in the year that the F2000 comes to Canada so I\u2019m looking for a good result. We practiced last weekend at the Circuit Mont-Tremblant, which enabled us to adjust the suspension and fine-tune the settings of our Van Diemen. We\u2019re very optimistic\u201d indicates R\u00e9my, who will work with S\u00e9bastien Durand as his engineer for the weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur plans are changing for next season and this may be the last time that I drive an F2000 at Mosport. It\u2019s an exceptional course and I\u2019d really like to do well this weekend\u201d concludes the Audette Racing Team driver.<\/p>\n
This season, the Audette Racing Team benefits from the support from Portes Dimensions, Novatech, Acura Plus Blainville, Les Extrusions du Nord, Verre Select, Jeld Wen, OPM, Amusements Spectaculaire, Les Moulures PFJV, Mec-Inov and Omnitech.<\/p>\n
