Toronto, Ontario – Practice for Rounds 5 and 6 of the Sports Car Championship Canada (SCCC) presented by Michelin race series got underway late this morning on the temporary street circuit at the Honda Indy Toronto.

“The Toronto circuit can be very intimidating with fast corners, challenging braking zones and concrete walls on all sides,” said Chris Bye, President of SCCC race series organizer FEL Motorsports. “Today’s practice provided a steep learning curve for our drivers, most of whom have not raced here before, who demonstrated that they are equal to the task with lap times that quickly improved with each time around the circuit."

Fastest of the GT4 cars was Zachary Vanier, driving the number 9 Pfaff Motorsports 2019 McLaren 570S sponsored by Technica Mining.

Lapping fastest of the TCR cars was Jerimy Daniel, driving the number 10 TRC Motorsport 2021 Audi RS3 LMS TCR sponsored by FIX Auto.

Qualifying will take place at 11:15 am Saturday. The first of two weekend races will be Saturday afternoon at 4:30 pm. The second race will be at 12:35 pm on Sunday ahead of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race.

The SCCC is the leading sports car championship in Canada. The series combines two internationally recognized classes – TCR and GT4. The race series consists of 12 races over six race weekends. Each race weekend includes practice, qualifying and two 40-minute sprint races. There are three podium winners from both classes for each race with points awarded from 1st to 10th place.

Showcased in the world-renowned TCR class are cars from manufacturers such as Hyundai, Audi and Honda with comparable horsepower that are required to meet strict homologated (standardized) parts in the touring car class. FEL Motorsports, with the support of IMSA, has signed a three-year deal with World Sporting Consulting (WSC) for a coveted TCR licence in Canada from 2022 to 2024, bringing the Sports Car Championship Canada into the global racing community.

The GT4 class, in conjunction with SRO Motorsports Group, features high-performance sports cars, including Mercedes, Ford and Porsche, that are also regulated under homologation standards.

Sports Car Championship Canada (SCCC) is now in its second year as a national Canadian championship with drivers competing for prizes and money. SCCC’s race promoter FEL Motorsports is actively involved in revitalizing and reinvesting in motorsports in Canada.
