Anis takes Toronto

G1 Racing celebrated their first win in Toronto this weekend as Sasha Anis stormed to First Place finish in the #87 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The team had been running strong all weekend, qualifying third on Friday and taking Second Place on Saturday’s qualifying race.

Although the team had a difficult weekend with suspension and engines, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe has clearly demonstrated it’s performance capabilities this weekend.  Starting second on the grid, Sasha Anis briefly took the lead but Nick Wittmer in the Lombardi Honda was able to squeeze past.  However, halfway through the race, Sasha Anis was able to capitalize on the strength of the car and regain first position.  He then clearly held the position and won by a comfortable margin.

Sasha Anis said “It’s just crazy but wonderful.  We thought that we would be in this position by the end of the year and we’re already here with a win.  Now we need to work on reliability and development it’s a fantastic day for us.”

Team Owner Bob Attrell who was driving the #88 Autotrader Hyundai also commented:  “It’s not only a first for the team, but the first win for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in North America road racing. It’s been a very successful weekend for us.  Sasha has done an amazing job driving the car.”

The G1 Racing team have steadily progressed over the past few races, moving up the ranks to top ten finishes and now podium finishes.  The team is looking forward to the Trois Rivieres race in three weeks time.
