As you should remember (right!?? ) we held the Virtual Canadian Touring Car Championship here on XPLR. As you may have ALSO known, Rui Teixeira (XPR Rooster) is also driving in the real life championship! Joining him is Stephen Hudec (XPR Roadrunner) as his Race Engineer/Crew Chief.

"A couple of fellow Forza community members have gotten involved in the Canadian Touring Car Championship. XPR (Xbox Pro League) are regular RVM contributors offering excellent organized online racing opportunities. Stephen Hudec – Gamertag XPR Roadrunner – is also the real-life race engineer/crew chief for the Lombardi Honda Racing team. His club mate, Rui Teixeira – GT XPR Rooster – is the driver for the team in the B-Spec class Honda Fit.

Teixeira achieved third place in the first race, then managed to get pole position for the second race where they finished second. In both races Teixeira set the fastest laps of the race.

Congratulations to the team for the outstanding performance. The next race will be held in support of the Canadian Grand Prix in two weeks.
