Forest And Dalziel Hope To Sing “O

Canada*”

On The Montreal 200 Podium Saturday!

Only two races remain in the 2010 Rolex Series season and the two Starworks Motorsport drivers, Ryan Dalziel and Mike Forest are anxious to start the weekend and deliver their best performance of the season. For Starworks Motorsport the season so far has been brilliant. The team, re-launched by team owner, Peter Baron, in January, has made a lot of progress. Despite the #8 entry not entering or scoring points in the 1st round, after Watkins Glen three weeks ago, Starworks car entry #8 has moved to sixth in the team championship, only 8 points from 5th. The team’s goal is to use the last two races to make up some positions with one of its goals to finish in the top five in team points. The primary goal remains to push hard for Ryan Dalziel to win the Driver's Championship, and see his co-driver Mike Forest, in the top 3 in points when the checkered flag waves on September 11th in Utah which will be a fantastic accomplishment for the Fort Lauderdale, Florida team.

Starworks’ Forest and Dalziel Scored 4^th At The Glen

After an epic race, Starworks Motorsport’s drivers Mike Forest and Ryan Dalziel finished 4^th in the Crown Royal 200, 10th round of the 2010 Rolex Series. The #8 Corsa Car Care Dinan-BMW Riley did not have the best race of the season but thanks to a great job from the crew and excellent drive from both drivers, the #8 managed to turn a difficult day at Watkins Glen into another top five finish. This is the seventh top five finish for the #8 Corsa Car Care co-driven by Forest and Dalziel this season including five top 5 with three podium finishes in ten races. The #7 Sonax Starworks Motorsport Dinan-BMW co-driven by Bill Lester and James Davison encountered some problems in the last session on Friday afternoon and after one lap in the race was forced to retire and finished 13^th in the DP class.
