The first race that I'll actually be driving in goes down this weekend. The cars still need a lot of work, but I'll need my rest too as it's been a while since I've been in the heat of a touring car race where guys have no second thoughts about trading paint and getting dirty. Lately it's been all about preparation and steady pace that comes from endurance racing, and while the prep is still required here, the 30 minute races require a little bit more aggression if you want to win.

Over the last few weeks I've teamed up with G1 Racing, which is a semi factory backed team running Hyundai Genesis Coupe's in the Castrol Canadian Touring Car championship.
