Ninth-place finish at the North Carolina bullring's wet and soggy IMSA WeatherTech Sprint Cup race

IMSA’s first trip to Charlotte Motor Speedway’s “Roval” replaced the originally-scheduled round at Lime Rock Park, and the track did an admirable job of living up to the “bullring” term that’s used to describe the Connecticut track.

Ray Mason started the first race of the SRO Road America event from the back of the GT4 Sprint field (after we moved him from SprintX so that he could drive solo) and in wet conditions moved up 11 positions to third in class and fifth overall, with just a few minutes left in the race. An incredible job that was marred by an overly-optimistic (as in, "what was he thinking?") move heading in to Canada Corner that resulted in both cars being written off.

Current Porsche GT3 Cup Championship leader to sub for Corey Fergus and co-drive with Paul Holton

VISTA, CA — Compass Racing has signed Jeff Kingsley to co-drive the team’s No. 76 Richard Mille McLaren 720S GT3 with McLaren Factory Driver Paul Holton for the two remaining rounds of IMSA’s WeatherTech Sprint Cup, subbing for Corey Fergus, whose wife is expecting their first child in the coming weeks. 

Successful first GT4 weekend in Wisconsin nets two first-place finishes

Our first of two weekends at the famed Elkhart Lake circuit saw Ray Mason take wins on both Saturday and Sunday, in our team’s first GT Celebration event.

VISTA, CA — Compass Racing's GT4 program returns to the famed Elhkart Lake in August with back-to-back weekends in two different series. Long-time team driver Ray Mason returns to the team for his eighth season, at the helm of one of the squad’s McLaren 570S GT4s.
 

Although Compass Racing’s No. 76 McLaren 720S GT3 finished well down the points – in 11th – at the season-opening WeatherTech Sprint Cup round at Daytona International Speedway, our car showed strong pace, with Corey Fergus taking pole position, and both he and co-driver Paul Holton setting second-fastest laps during their stints. Our rolling 20-lap averages were also towards the front of the field, and this resulted in IMSA decreeing a rather substantial decrease in performance to our Richard Mille-sponsored entry for the second round, at Sebring.

Compass Racing has relocated its GT3 operations to the U.S., joining the squad's GT4 program in Southern California, in a move that’s been accelerated due to the current border restrictions, according to team owner Jill Beck.

The former Toronto-based team will now call San Diego home, and a temporary shop has been established in Miami for the next six weeks, which has seen the team’s core group of Canadian crew set to remain in Florida through the summer.
