Default RSR members at the 944 Cup Nationals

We were 3 RSR members at the 944 Cup Nationals that were held last weekend at VIR during the SCCA Pro Racing Sports Car War World Challenge event.

Chris Green won the Championship starting from last!!!!

Rodrigo Herrera was 8th and I was 14th, on 28th starters.

It was an amazing weekend and we all had lots of fun!

It's been 3 years in row that the 944 Cup is won by a Canadian!

If everything goes well for me in the near future, I will have a new 944 Cup car for me next year and I will go play with them! They're a bunch of nice guys and the racing was super clean. Close but clean.

Sysgen will make an edited video of my worst (rally driving in turn 1-2) and best moments (accident avoidance and taking the esses flat out).

I was there for the first time and I had a blast. The track is amazing. It took me 1 hour and Chris' comments to get the line properly. Then I was getting quicker. My lines on the Friday were bad at some places. On Saturday I was much better and on Sunday I was all there save for the last 3 turns before the front straight (16-17-17a). Line was good, but I could not get the power down. I was then loosing ground on the cars in front of me.

Everybody should go drive this track!

Je ne peux pas aller au souper ce soir...

Martin - Supercup At Tremblant: moi aussi

Moi aussi, je veux m'acheter une 944 Cup. Stéphane va faire un video, vous allez voir comment c'est l'fun!

On peut trouver une auto pour 7000$. J'ai roulé avec la 924 qui, selon Chris, était environ 4 secondes plus lente que la sienne à VIR (3 sec. à Mosport).

Une auto de 15 000$ et on est capable de rouler en avant!

La compétition est serrée, tout est dans les mains du pilote!

Wow et rewow!

Ouen, Simon a dû pleurer quand il a su qu'il ne pouvait venir... Mais très content de voir que cette fois, c'était la bonne!

Quelle belle piste! C'est vraiment trippant! Surtout que cM'était une fin de semaine top notch. Avec SCCA Pro Racing, les choses se déroulent rondement. C'est très bien rodé comme organisation.

Ils ont aimé notre série aussi. Il y a de bonnes chances que l'an prochain on soit aussi de la partie!

Thanks!

We are all now preparing for the Fall Classic. And I will be driving my car this time!

I should be doing good, well I hope. I'm getting better at dealing with traffic. This time by, I will loose less places at the start... It's all a matter of experience.

When I reviewd my videos, I saw all the mistakes I made.

RSR taught me how to drive well. Racing is teaching me how to drive fast with cars close to me!

Video should be available this Saturday. 1 rolling start and 1 standing start!

Standing start courtesy of SCCA Pro Racing (World Challenge).

That is very cool. I did good actually. A little bit of wheelspin and there it goes!
