TORONTO – Exclusive Autosport’s Louis Foster claimed a rare full-points scoop in the double-header L&W Supply Grand Prix of Toronto to increase his already healthy championship lead in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires.
In addition to two race wins, the Basingstoke, England native put an exclamation mark on his weekend by taking all bonus points for pole position, fastest race lap and most laps led – 66 points in total.
Foster claimed the Cooper Tires Pole Award for today’s race in a second qualifying session yesterday morning, bettering his pole time logged on Friday by over a half a second. He romped into the lead at the drop of the green flag but the caution flags immediately flew with a multi-car incident in turn one.
Nolan Siegel, who started second, was hit from behind by Jordan Missig igniting a chain reaction that collected Josh Green, Kiko Porto and Enaam Ahmed. All were able to continue with the exception of Green, who had started third and was a podium finisher in yesterday’s round.
The race resumed on lap 6 but, again, the caution flags flew straightaway as Jonathan Browne spun in turn 6 directly in front of Siegel – who was not so lucky this time as the incident took both drivers out of the race.
Foster was fully in command at the restart on lap 8 with Missig running second and Reece Gold, who started fourth and escaped the opening lap melee, in third. The ensuing 17 laps remained caution-free with Foster eventually crossing the line with a 4.9 second lead to score another PFC Award for Team Owner Michael Duncalfe.
Missig and Gold initially completed the podium with Yuven Sundaramoorthy and Jack William Miller rounding out the top five. A post-race penalty for avoidable contact for the first-lap incident was served to Missig which elevated Sundaramoorthy to his third podium of the year. He also earned the Tilton Hard Charger Award for a gain of seven positions.
