I've been a bit busy this past week, and hadn't had a chance to post but the S60R got its first series win in Speed GT at Mosport!!!

The race is on SPEED TV today (Sunday) at 4:00pm EST . . .

 

AWD seems to have a little advantage in a downpour. He lapped the field up to 2nd place. Didn't look too healthy on the last couple laps, though.

 

True, I wasn't trying to proclaim the S60R a contender for all future events, but I'll sure cheer for the team. If Audi had been in the field it may have made for a more entertaining race.

 

I dunno. Seeing an underdog team giving the rest of the field a good butt-whipping is pretty entertaining to me. Clearly, the weather played a major role, but the Volvo has been doing a lot better this year with Galati at the wheel.
