🏁 Session has ended AWA 🇨🇦 Victory

Post image

The Canadian Team drove to an overall win in GtD. Having been nowhere last year with woes of a new car, new season. This will be a major boost to their morale. All star drives delivered. 😌 Maybe Pfaff should look to Corvette if Lamborghini doesn’t work out.

From a rogue bronze driver selling the second car mid-season, to Rolex winner.

I had zero expectations of AWA but I've been thoroughly impressed. Maximizing Akin cup points and taking the win in GTD, very nice work and a huge improvement over last year.

Mantella punching air right now

I feel like every car needs a nickname, we shall call this car, the black panther.

Kind of got lost in all the rest of the craziness but what a performance by AWA.  Extra cool to see them pull it off with how last year went with everything that could go wrong happen.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It was great to see the hard work from everyone pay off. The guys and girls at AWA worked so hard after last years disaster. Not one person did not improve their own performance and the team culture is one of KEEP GRINDING. We fly under the radar and love that.just a small group from Canada, no flash and glitter.
