Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship alumni to hit Mosport this weekend

TORONTO, ONTARIO – Canadian racer Ron Fellows is about to see the fruits of 
five years of hard work come true this weekend at Mosport, site of the 
Mobil 1 presents the Labour Day Weekend Grand Prix of Mosport. Five years 
ago, Fellows, along with Sunoco and ASN Canada FIA formed the Sunoco Ron 
Fellows Karting Championship presented by Toronto Star Wheels (SRFKC), and 
this weekend, graduates of the series, along with the karting series itself 
will all be racing at Mosport International Raceway.

“To see what we have been able to do over the last five years all in one 
place will be amazing,” Fellows says of the upcoming weekend. “We have a 
goal of helping young Canadian racers, and this weekend, what we have 
accomplished can all be seen in one place – Mosport.”
Fellows will do battle in his C6-R Compuware Corvette in the American Le 
Mans series race, and in GM Racing’s Cadillac CTS-V in Speed GT. SRFKC 
alumni will be in action in the Formula BMW USA series. Formula BMW USA 
points leader, and Canada’s only Red Bull driver Robert Wickens, AIM 
Autosport driver Daniel Morad and Gelles Racing’s Maxime Pelletier are all 
SRFKC past champions. Atlantic Racing Team’s Philip Major is also a SRFKC 
graduate.


“We all got our start in motorsports in Ron’s series,” says Morad. “Ron has 
been very hands on with us, helping us out all he can, and this weekend we 
will race our season finale on the same track as him, on the same weekend.”

ASN Canada FIA VP of Competition, and SRFKC administrator Paul Cooke is 
anxious to see how the graduates fair this weekend. “There is no doubt that 
the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship has produced some of the best 
up and coming Canadian talent,” Cooke said. “To see them all here this 
weekend will be a thrill not only to Canadian race fans, but to our current 
karting competitors, who are competing this weekend on the Driver 
Development track.”

Race fans can catch the next Canadian stars of motorsport on the Driver 
Development track at Mosport that is hosting round five of the Sunoco Ron 
Fellows Karting Championship this weekend. Fans can then see if the SRFKC 
alumni can capture a Formula BMW USA championship, and watch Ron himself 
try to do the ‘double’ by winning the Speed GT race and the GT1 class in 
American Le Mans series.
