Just watched the first race, way to go as I thought it was very well done. Hope to see more!

Out of curiosity, being sponsored by Toyo, what tire is run in that series?

Toyo R888

Very cool to watch.
Nice to see the whole race rather than my isolated perch on the outside of T3.

Funny how many time he had to say "Canadian Tire Motorsport Park"...appreciate the effort.

Great job Jason and co.

Toyo R888

May I assume the 13" 185 (front) and 205 or 225 (rear)? Those (rear? about the same diameter as the vintage Dunlop and Avon tires, but R888 185 R888 fronts (21") are bit taller than Dunop/Avon. So, clearly setup changes and maybe gearing too.

Given the unavailability currently of AVON and Dunlop vintage FF tire, might be a good alternative.

[old 59]

Yes, 185/60/13 fronts and 205/60/13 rears. The Toyo's are a completely different tire than the Dunlops/Avons, but with some pretty simple set up changes you're good to go. Bolt them on and have a giggle.

If you get a chance to watch the TV shows, or some of the web videos, you'll see that the cars are not horribly out of control, which a lot of naysayers claim. They are different to drive, but it's a good different. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.

IMO, the choice of tire for the series has signifcantly contributed to the increase in competitor numbers.

Great coverage.

Just need them to add car make to the overlays for standings and drivers etc and it would be perfect.

Of course the tremendous efforts of everyone at Move Motorsports makes the series a great place to race as well. The series runs at some pretty cool events, a F1600 double-header on the streets of Toronto with the IndyCar race being one.

[DanW]

Any way to watch this online? Possibly through the network's website?

[Robins Ken]

Your contact here would be Jason Sharpe.

Not sure what would come up on Google but do know they would appreciate any US interest in the series.

[dfloer]

Damn, just found out about this and now all the broadcasts are over. Hopefully it'll be rerun soon and someone will post the schedule here, or better yet, in the FF discussion forum.

[Toyo Tires F1600 Series]

The 1st episode which has already aired nationally in Canada will come online soon via the series youtube channel.
