Bowmanville, Ontario - The opening weekend of the CASC-OC road season season got underway in almost perfect conditions today at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, with a full slate of regional classes, plus the opening rounds of the F2000 Canada Series and the Radical Canada Cup.

The first race of the weekend saw 18 F1200 cars take the grid and a tight 4-way battle for the lead with Phil Wang leading the early going, hotly pursued by Kevin Kapelke, Michael Iamundi and David Taylor.

A turn 10 crash involving Phil Wang and David Taylor put the two of them out late in the race, with the win going to Kapelke, followed by Michael Iamundi. Matt Garwood, suffering with power problems lost the draft early, but ended up third after the contact between Wang and Taylor.

The second race of the after noon saw the F2000 cars grid up, with the Radicals in a grid just behind them, as both series opened their 2015 seasons.

The F2000 Canada race saw an all-out battle for win between Nathon Blok, Zacharie Robichon and Chase Pelletier, with Blok ending up on top. After leading a good deal of the race, Pelletier looked set to follow his team-mate home and make it a 1-2 sweep for Britain West, but Robichon jumped on a chance created by late-race traffic heading into turn 10 and grabbed the position, leaving Pelletier without enough laps to counter.

The Radical Canada Cup saw the black #61 Radical SR3 RS of Matt Graham go wire-to-wire to take the win from Robert Calisi and Doug Allingham.

The VARAC Classic race went to the 1982 Porsche of Tim Sanderson, followed home by the 1984 Porsche 911 of James Sutherland, with the 1970 Porsche 914-6 of Dave Margolese rounding out the top three and giving Porsche a clean sweep of podium.

In the GT Challenge race, Tim Sanderson again grabbed the win ahead of Porsche GT3 Cup Canada regular Michael de Quesada with Matthew Berridge preventing another Porsche podium sweep by taking his Nissan 350Z home in third place.

In Formula Libre Paul Subject took the win in his Formula Mazda followed by Mark McDonald in the Stohr and Franc Roiron rounding out the podium in the Fran Am car.

In the GT Sprints, Tim Sanderson again returned to the top step of the podium in his 2014 Porsche 991 GT3, with Greg Clifton following him home in 2nd and Michael de Quesada hitting the podium for the second time in third place.
