Welcome to the weekend!

We’re super stoked for the upcoming round of racing at Mosport (CTMP) as FEL Motorsports kicks off their 2023 season with GT4, TCR and Radical racing at the former GP circuit.

Despite it’s infancy, the Canadian pro series has attracted efforts from the likes of Multimatic and Shopify, just to name a few..

This weekend, we get to see some good friends do some great racing, across multiple platforms - Demi Chalkias debuts in GT4 at her home track, RySpec enters the Radical Cup as a standalone effort, and Malcolm Strachan represents RCLUB in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series.

We’re stoked to see everyone and if all goes well, we look forward to some podium finishes and the champagne that comes with it 🍾

Formula 1

One less win for Max..

As you’ve likely heard, the flooding in Emilia-Romagna has led to the cancellation of the Imola GP. A sad day for many residents, teams and fans but for Sergio Perez, the cancellation of Max’s most dominant circuit might not be a bad thing for the Championship picture..

Next race: Monaco GP - Sunday, May 28th @ 9am
