USF 2000:
Nico Christodoulou who usually competes in the GB3 Championship in the UK took a break from his regular season and competed in a one-off USF2000 race. He claimed an impressive victory for VRD Racing in the Cooper Tires Grand Prix of Toronto.
Christodoulou grew up in Toronto and had the chance to race on the streets of his hometown for the first time. He felt right at home on the 11-turn street circuit taking the lead with five laps remaining.
Overnight rain caused the temporary circuit to be dangerously wet as the 19 cars began their race. The intensity of the race increased as the track began to dry.
Polesitter Simon Sikes made a slight error under braking for Turn Three in the final laps of the race. Sikes finished in Second place, his 11th podium finish of the season, he now holds an astounding 69-point lead for the season.
Rounds 16-18 are set to take place in Portland Oregon August 31-September 3.
