Here are the details and results of the fifth Scion Tuner Challenge Event.
- The event was held at the Mecaglisse complex in Notre-Damme-de-la-Merci , Quebec (http://www.mecaglisse.com/). The track, a 2.2km road course covered with 10cm of ice, offered the perfect environment for an ice racing competition.
- All 3 Scion FR-S Tuner Challenge teams prepared their Scion FR-S with heavily studded winter tires and adjusted suspensions.
- The day started with a 2 hour practice session which allowed the teams to learn the track.
- Team VCMC’s leader and driver Richard Basford took the wheel of their now turbocharged Scion FR-S, rated at approximately 350 horsepower! (one of, if not the first in Canada!)
- SWAG Racing team leader and professional drifter , Dany ‘’Babu’’ Bernier, also took the wheel of his modified Scion FR-S for the race.
- Top Tuner team’s leader, Edmund Manasan, once again invited Sasha Anis, professional Canadian touring driver to drive their car prepared for the competition by Can-Jam Motorsports.
