BOWMANVILLE, Ontario – David Jurca, 22, of Federal Way, Wash., won the second round of the Jetta TDI Cup with a strong race at a cold and wet Mosport International Raceway. Hometown racer Chris Holman, 20, of Burlington, Ontario, came in second in his first race on the long course at Mosport, and rounding out the top three was Jimmy Underhill, 21, of Denver, Colo.
“Coming into this weekend I felt really confident with a strong showing in practice and qualifying,” said David Jurca. “It was really difficult in the rain with slick tires, but I just tried to keep it smart and stay out of trouble. I’d like to thank Redapt and Volkswagen for the opportunity and the support throughout the series.”
The 30-minute sprint race went full-course yellow after the field had problems through the first turn. After a lengthy yellow flag period, the second half ran under intermittent drizzle, which led to more problems across the course. Andrew Cordiero, 24, of Woodbridge, Ont., held a strong position throughout the race, but in the end was one of several drivers to succumb to the wet track conditions. David Richert, Niverville, MB, completed the full race crossing the finish line in 18.
