The feature of the Shannonville Shootout on May 31/June 1 is the Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship Presented By Toyo Tires. The Championship’s second event of the season will run on Shannonville’s challenging long track configuration and fans can expect another epic battle. The Championship visits Shannonville as part of eight different weekends in Ontario and Quebec.
The Championship is comprised of two Classes of racecars; Touring Class in the entry level Class where only minimal modifications are allowed while Super Touring Class has the powerful heavily modified racecars with engines up to 2.8 litres. Drivers can start out in Touring Class and develop their racecraft and then move up to Super Touring Class when they are ready for more power and speed. Both Classes compete at the same time on the track and challenge for supremacy in their Class which creates an amazing show.
After the first event, Andrew Wojteczko leads the points in Super Touring Class in his Lexus. He will be challenged by 2007 Champion Charles-Andre Bilodeau in his BMW. Joining the Championship for this event will be a pair of Hondas from Lombardi Racing; their lead driver is the current top Touring Car racer in North America, Kuno Wittmer, from Montreal. They will be challenged by several two car teams including VMC (Honda), Krikorian Motorsports (Subaru), 8Legs Racing (BMW) and Fastco Racing (Hyundai).
Andre Rapone leads in Touring Class. He and his brother Anthony are part of the Durabond Racing Team and have shown to be very competitive against more experienced drivers. The 2007 Touring Class Champion, Alain Lauziere will be back with his Mini to battle for the win. They will be challenged by TwoFast Racing (two Mazdas), Mad Macs Racing (two Nissans) and even a Mercedes-Benz.
The Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship Presented by Toyo Tires is sponsored by CSC Racing, Toronto TireCraft, Sigma Promotions and Mad Macs Communications + Graphics. The Championship is supported by Racing Radios, President Champagne, Leaf Racewear, Impact Custom Canopy and RaceDV.
