The biggest Grand-Am fans on the planet spent their entire radio broadcast chatting with C360R pilot Ryan Eversley, reviewing last weekend's race at Trois-Rivieres, musing about how Rookie of the Year points are scored, and a host of other topics. As always, Ryan's insightful and pull-no-punches commentary is great fun enjoy. Take a listen here.

Nice footage from the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race at Trois-Rivieres, courtesy of Grand-Am. Lots of shots of our orange Hondas, including 1) Lutz getting taken out on lap one, 2) Thilenius babying the brakes, 3) the Theetge car expiring with a broken gearbox, and 4) Sweeney and Liefooghe bringing #77 home in sixth, their best result of the season...

The Trois-Rivieres event is arguably one of the most exciting events on the Grand-Am schedule. It's a tight, twisty and unforgiving track, and is attended by some of the most enthusiastic road racing fans on the continent. The town shuts down for a huge party with fireworks and great good and entertainment, and it certainly doesn't hurt that this riverside village seems to be host to some of the most beautiful women anywhere.

Zach Lutz did a great job qualifying our #75 Honda Civic in fourth, and then had a cracking start, getting into P2 by the third corner. Unfortunately, the car behind wasn't expecting him to have to brake so early (yes, we really do have to be that easy on the brakes!), and the result is captured in the video above. Zach and his co-driver Ryan Eversley look locked into P3 in the championship, and are still fighting for second place with the team-car #74 of David Thilenius and Lawson Aschenbach.

Canadian Touring Car's ongoing series of weekend reviews focused on the battle between Touring-class leader Anthony Rapone and Karl Thomson, both drivers for the Durabond/Compass360 Racing team. It's good fun in a campy "Good, Bad and The Ugly" (the latter which Thomson managed to provide by crashing in race one after losing his brakes), and highlights the great teamwork our guys bring every single weekend.

Nice video from our friends at technical partner Skunk2... beautifully shot and edited, featuring C360R crew and drivers as they prepare and race in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Challenge race at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

Have a look at the weekend wrap-up from the Castrol Canadian Touring Car races at the Toronto Indy, including some nice footage of Karl Thomson's wreck at the end of the back straight. Team mate Anthony Rapone managed to take a solid second place in the Sunday race, with Thomson having a great run from the back of the pack up to fifth. Thanks to the kindness of team mate and driver of the #73 car, Thomas McGregor, who gave up his seat on Sunday, Karl was able score valuable championship points in what is going to be a very tight battle for the top three spots.
