TORONTO, Ont. – Turn 3 Motorsport will race on the streets of Toronto this weekend for Rounds 12 and 13 of the USF Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires. The team will run a four-car program on the 1.786-mile, 11-turn street circuit with drivers Michael d’Orlando, Jonathan Browne, Louka St-Jean and Christian Brooks. Brooks, who took the first pole and win of the season in St. Petersburg with Turn 3 Motorsport, will fill in for Jackson Lee who sustained a wrist injury at the previous round in Mid-Ohio.
Turn 3 Motorsport had a successful run in the USF Pro 2000 series at Toronto last year with INDY NXT driver Josh Green showing speed all weekend and earning a podium finish in one of the 25-lap races. With d’Orlando scoring the most points of any driver with a pole, win and third-place result at Mid-Ohio a couple weeks ago, the team is looking to keep the winning streak going in Toronto this weekend.
