BP3D Competition has done it, 2015 Champions!
 
BP3D Competition has done it again for a second time in their existence, they are overall champion of the Super Production Challenge serie. This time though, it was with a brand new car and new platform built from A to Z by the team.

The last race of the year was on October 10th, where a good result close to the second competitor in the championship was going to be enough to win the title. The team ended up winning the first race after a penalty was given to the leader in the race. This result gave the championship to the team but there was no way we would sit on those results as there was a race left. A very fast belt change due to a Vortech supercharger destroying it was needed as both races were close in time. Car was ready just in time for the second race where we ended up with a black flag for a risky pass which cost us a drive through in the pit lane where we fell from 3rd to 7th. We ended up in 6th for the last race of the season.

Overall very pleased with the results of the car and the team, we struggled all year long with our setups but finally made it as we had a car to win some races at the last event. But, what really was the winning point for the team was the consistency of the driver and the reliability of the car where the team ended up with a 6th position or better all season long for the 13 races out of a pack of around 20. Nine podiums total including two victories was the winning factor. While some other competitors had more wins, reliability and penalties cost them the lead in the points.

For our winning 2015 season the team would like to thank Perry Performance and Scion Racing Canada for their support as well as SM Mecanique, DAI Alloy/ 720 Form, Racecomp Engineering and AP Racing/Essex Parts

Congratulations! Wish Quebec wasn't so far from here--it'd be great to see a race or two.

Nice job! I wish Scion racing would support these types of racing activities here in the States...(screw formula drift)

they came in pretty late during the season though, we can't get any gain out of half of the races of the season because they finally decided to keep the program at the end of june. Still, it is better than having nothing like all the other manufacturers. We hope they will keep the program for next year and announce it a little earlier like they did in 2014

Not really fair, look at how gorgeous the FRS is compared to the competition, they didn't have a chance.

This is excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Agreed, the car does look pretty good, they look aggressive in race car stance.

Yup, but that's it. Toyota/Scion has money, they can do more...instead they blow small fortunes on lame-ass
commercials and forgettable print ads.
