Team Octane had another successful weekend at Mosport International Raceway during last weekend’s Victoria Day Speedfest. The first of eight Castrol Canadian Touring Car racing weekends of intense action ended-up in a beautiful podium for 2010 Championship runner-up Michel Sallenbach, at the wheel of his #46 MINI Original Accessories JCW Cooper S. Team-mate Alain Lauzière finished just behind him spending most of the race leading the Touring class pack. The skies opened-up after a lap of racing and the competitors all using Continental racing slicks had to navigate through intense water for the duration of the race. Sallenbach qualified in fourth position with Lauzière in the #47 MINI Cooper a few hundredths of a second behind him. Lauzière managed to grab the lead in the treacherous conditions, but he was passed at the restart after a lengthy full-course yellow flag by the Kwok brothers and Sallenbach with only one lap to go. A great race for Team Octane with a third and fourth place finish. Race #2 was uneventful for both Octane drivers as Lauzière finished in fourth position while Sallenbach followed him in fifth place.
