Driver Insight: “Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is one of the most daunting tracks in my opinion. There are so many high-speed corners and 90 percent of those corners are mostly all blind on the way in. The biggest challenge that all of us drivers face is trying to see where we are going. You know you want to stay full-throttle but you really don’t know where you’re going to go once you crest the hill. The biggest thing is learning where the track flow is and where you want to position the car, once you get that down pat and you know where you want the car to be placed, it’s such a roller coaster.” – Corey Lewis, Driver No. 16 Change Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3
