Canadian Teams and Drivers Have Large Presence in Continental Tire Series
There will be plenty of action this weekend for the IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with 61 entries ready to take to the track. In that large field you will also find a large number of Canadian entries either fielding cars or behind the wheel.
There are three Canadian teams: Compass 360 Racing (Toronto, ON) with three cars - one in GS (Subaru WRX-STi) and two in ST (Honda Civic Si); Multimatic Motorsports (Concord, ON) with two cars in GS (BOSS Mustang 302R) and Tower Events Racing with one car in GS (Nissan 370Z).
The race also features 14 Canadian drivers in both GS and ST spread across 9 cars so following timing and scoring will be fun - and a bit of a challenge. Canadian team and driver entries are listed below followed by the Continental Tire on-track schedule. Action gets underway at 9:35 am PT on Friday (12:35 PM ET). The race is in Saturday at 12:45 pm PT (3:45 pm ET)
