On August 30th, we were competing at the first CSCS event at Shannonville Motorsports Park. This was the fourth round of the CSCS Championship and Scott and the E46 M3 were present.

The odds going into this competition looked good for us, with Scott having driven Shannonville several times and it being the first event at Shannonville for CSCS this Season and many of the competitors. Unfortunately the R32 GTR was unable to attend.

As always it was a tough day with stiff competition in the Super Street RWD (SSRWD) class, however Scott was consistently setting good times and qualified strong.

Going up against the Corvette of Riaan, Scott managed to run an official time of 59.794 beating Riaan by one-hundredths of a second! putting us on the podium in 1st Place!

Congratulations to Scott and the other competitors and expect to see us full force at the CSCS Season Finale at Toronto Motorsports Park on September 20.

The first Ontario Time Attack event for us this season was at Events 6 & 7 at the Shannonville Motorsports Park.

The day started off great, with the R32 Skyline GTR competing in the SGT3 Class among five competitors on Day 1 (Event 6). Having minimal seat time at the Shannonville Pro Track configuration the day was mostly spent improving on our times and finding ways to get faster.

The day didn't progress quite as well, as the rubber turbo discharge pipe developed a crack and was leaking boost. It even resulted in us getting our first tow off the track when the repair failed and the car stalled on track. Luckily, a fellow GTR owner that was close to Shannonville happened to have a spare and delivered it to us to the track! This allowed us to run the 4th heat and set a reasonable time finishing the first day off in 4th place.

Day 2 (Event 7) was on the Shannonville Full Track configuration
which the GTR had never been on. Fortunately we got a few laps in the evening prior thanks to open lapping by Speed Envy. With the issue from the previous day, the plan was to run only one Time Attack session and make it count. We went out for our session and managed to secure a third place finish, beating a Porsche GT3 struggling with tires by exactly one tenth. Traling second place by only 2 tenths, we decided to go out for one more session, but on the first lap, locked up and flat spotted the RE71Rs, leaving us with no times in the 2nd session but a podium finish for the day.

Overall a tough weekend but not too bad with a 4th and 3rd place finish for the weekend.
