The FEL Sports Car Championship Canada presented by Michelin (SCCC) held 10 races across five weekends in 2024, with three classes of cars in action. Jack Polito (GT4), Richard Boake (TCR) and Eric Kunz (TCA) claimed championships during the series’ fourth season.
Polito was the driver to beat in the GT4 class once again. He started the year with a pair of wins at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP), continuing the win streak through weekends at Calabogie Motorsports Park and the Indy Toronto. He faced some adversity in the GP3R opener, with a DNF, before bouncing back to win race two.
Polito’s perfect record at his home track of CTMP extended to 11 straight victories to start his SCCC career, before a fuel pressure issue ended his race early in the season finale. Overall, he had eight wins in 10 races to claim his second straight title. We interviewed Polito about his championship season on Inside Track TV:
Boake, who finished runner-up in class last season, recorded his first career SCCC TCR championship. He started the year with a pair of wins at CTMP, before finishes of fifth and third at Calabogie. He scored a win and a second-place in Toronto, before finishing eighth and fifth at the GP3R, still using an older backup car that he needed after a crash during practice in Toronto.
The TCR battle went down to the wire between the veteran Boake and teenage rookie Anthony Martella, who’s a family friend of Boake’s. With a win and a second-place at CTMP, Boake clinched the championship; we interviewed him about winning the title.
In the second year of the TCA class, Eric Kunz claimed his first racing championship. Kunz started 2024 with five straight wins, before a runner-up finish in the second Toronto race. He finished second and scored a win at the GP3R, before rounding out the season with a win and a DNF at CTMP.
The SCCC TCA champion is a SickKids patient ambassador and hosted patients at the track throughout his breakout season. We interviewed Kunz on Inside Track TV. In addition to our conversation below, Kunz wanted to give a shoutout to his crew chief Vic Simone and mechanic Steve Grenkie at TracSport Performance; he’d also like to thank his supporters.
“I have to say a massive thank you to my sponsors for making this season possible,” added Kunz. “Aimco, Manmade, Stouffville Honda, CSN Collision Leggett’s, Wrap Werks, Rosewood Marketing, Grid Shark, The Elite Mind Set Coaching. Their support means the world to me.“
