Florian Latorre, Mazda Champion, won his first race of the season this month in Toronto. The 18-year-old and his Cape Motorsports held off a first lap challenge and cruised to an easy 5.3 second victory over Team Pelfrey rookie, Pato O’Ward in Cooper Tires Pro Mazda Grand Prix of Toronto. This was the first Pro Mazda podium of the season for the popular 16-year old O’Ward of Monterey, Mexico. Moreover, scoring his sixth podium finish of the season was 20 year-old Timothe Buret – who was able to push his vehicle from fourth place to get around Grist on the same lap as O’Ward. In a post-race interview with Latorre, he said: “I really like street courses, especially in Toronto. I find that street courses are like karting – you can really attack the bumps and the curbs – so I think that is why I do well here. There has been some pressure since I am a MAZDASPEED driver this year. I am coming back in the championship now, with better results and now my goal is to get the most wins possible until the end of the year.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
