Canada prep 🇨🇦
With George and Kimi in Brackley and Brixworth this week, we’ve been working through the usual cycle of race prep, reviewing recent learnings, refining processes, and continuing the day-to-day push across chassis and power unit operations.
It’s an all-team effort: everyone aligned on delivering the strongest possible platform for the weekend, including updates, from the factory to the track.
We caught up with George ahead of him heading to Montreal.

Good morning, George. Hello. Yeah, I've been doing good. It's missing the racing, obviously a few weeks off, watching a lot of other racing, being trending hard, getting back into the groove obviously here at the factory today as you got stopped by the police yesterday as well, which was stopped by the police. Yeah, I got stopped by the police and then they asked for a selfie. So I just caught me a bit off guard, but I've got there's never, ever happened to me before. But yeah, back in the factory and just excited to get back to racing. So what you been up to today since being back in the factory? Yeah, just seen a lot of engineers, designers, got a few new bits and the car for next week. So I've been trying that on the simulator. So that's pretty exciting because always when you see all of this hard work going on, you drive on the simulator, it always feels good, but you're sort of praying that it comes to fruition. When you when you put on the track, you're seeing everybody, everybody so motivated, working so hard and obviously just can't wait for it. Looking forward to coming. Yes, Canada is a place I love Tracker. Enjoy driving at and just miss the competition. You know, this season's obviously been quite disjointed with the calendar. We've only, you know, remain. We've had four races and suddenly we're going to be doing another 18 in the coming, you know, 6-7 months. So just looking forward to getting into that rhythm and it kind of really feels like it's going to hot up now. See that?
