New TCR-specification platform has strong showing in Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car season opener

DANVILLE, VA — The Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car Championship launched its season at Virginia International Raceway this past weekend, marking a return to the picturesque southern track, which was last on the calendar in 2010. The series' top class, TC, welcomed a number of new cars for the first time. Most notable of these was the new Audi RS 3 LMS, which is the German manufacturer’s offering in the increasingly popular TCR series that compete around the globe. Modified slightly from its TCR spec to match the performance of the TC-class, it cuts quite a figure, with its body-arch extensions reminiscent of DTM prototypes.

Veteran team launches new supercar program with new sponsors and strong driver line-up

TORONTO, CANADA — After three seasons fielding a diverse group of cars in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge and the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, long-time IMSA competitor Compass Racing announced today the launch of their new two-car GS program for 2017. With the unveiling of this effort, the team becomes the second to publicly announce the introduction of McLaren’s new 570S GT4 car to the series.

Multiple-championship-winning team returns to ST for 14th straight season.

TORONTO, CANADA — Long-time IMSA team Compass Racing today announced the return of its popular Audi S3 to Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge competition for the 2017 season. This is the team’s 14th consecutive year in the IMSA-sanctioned series.

We've worked with Leslie and Michael Stahlschmidt of Sideline Sports Photography for years. Here's a small collection of photos from the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge finale at Road Atlanta, Georgia, featuring our two Audi S3s as well as our Ford Mustang GT350R-C in its final CTSC outing. Great shots of our hard-working, talented crew and drivers, seen through the lenses of some of the most capable photorgraphers we know.

A flash flood featuring torrential rain (which eventually red-flagged the race for nearly 45 minutes) was the highlight of a rather forgettable race at the ordinarily lovely Virginia International Raceway for C360R, with its No. 76 Ford Mustang finishing sixth at the line, and the team's No. 74 and 75 Audis finishing well down the order, a mechanical issue putting the former a few laps down, and a huge shunt finishing the day for the latter. Enjoy a lovely gallery of pictures from Sideline Sports Photography below.
