MINI Canada Announces Second Year of Incentive Program in Canadian Motorsport.
Richmond Hill. MINI Canada has just announced that for a second straight year it will be supporting MINI Canada motorsports by continuing with the Contingency Award Programs. Canadians who race a MINI in the upcoming Canadian Tour Car Championship (CTCC) and the 2013 Targa Newfoundland competition have the opportunity to win cash prizes based on the incentive program. The program presents an exciting opportunity to reward MINI racers for their success in Canadian motorsports.

Introduced in 2012, the B-Spec Class of the CTCC was also pleased to announce MINI had podium finishes in its inaugural year in the program.

For the CTCC, MINI Canada will pay contingency awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishesin each points-paying race in the Championship. MINI Canada will also reward championship-winning drivers in the Touring and B-Spec classes during the 2013 CTCC season.
“We are thankful for the continued support of MINI Canada,” commented John Bondar, President of the Canadian Touring Car Championship. “CTCC fans are also huge MINI fans and can’t wait to see them running up front and challenging for the podium again this year.”
