TWO SERIES & LOTS OF ENDURANCE RACING: DriveTeq’s 2025 “Arrive & Drive” endurance race program will include Enduro Elite (EE) (nee Lucky Dog Racing Canada (LDRC)) and American Endurance Racing (AER) rules. Since 2014, DriveTeq has been participating in low budget, high value endurance racing in Ontario at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (nee Mosport, (CTMP)), Calabogie Motorsports Park (CMP), Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (MidO), Shannonville Motorsports Park (SMP) and Watkins Glen International (WGI). Event formats are generally 8 hour races each day over a weekend. This event offers 6 hours each day of endurance racing.

DriveTeq’s emphasis is on the following:

1. Seat time to improve both driving and racing skills;
2. Expanding & transitioning performance drivers’ driving ecosystem to include racing;
3. Driver safety;
4. Professional, organized, respectful, welcoming & fun culture; and
5. A reasonable budget!

THE SERIES:

In each of the EE and AER organizations that we plan to run in 2025, the bar for racing experience is reasonably accessible with DriveTeq’s program preparation.  The cars in each series are required to be properly prepared with racing safety equipment and our DriveTeq cars are professionally prepared and systematically maintained for the safety and enjoyment of our clients. EE and AER groups race cars by lap time. EE qualifies cars during the race while AER groups during a qualifying period on Fridays prior for each race weekend. Overall, we expect drama, comedy, dance, and lots of fun. The following is each organization’s rules of participation:

1. Enduro Elite, visit https://enduroelite.ca/
2. AER, visit www.americanenduranceracing.com 

 THE CARS:

1. #821 – Our beautiful BMW art car inspired E82 128i #821 race car (Code Name: GINA) has been tested over multiple race-weekends and numerous single-day rentals and found to be fast, safe, reliable, comfortable, and handles well. Join the team in 2025!
2. #822 – Our second BMW art car inspired E82 128i #822 race car (Code Name: MARILYN) has been updated like her sister to better compete on race-weekends and equally found to be fast, safe, reliable, comfortable, and handles well. Join the team in 2025!
