TORONTO, Ontario, March 18, 2013 - Pat Cyr, Canada’s premier drift racer, has teamed up with Scion Canada to create a customized FR-S that Cyr will take into 2013 pro-drift competition. It’s the very first Canadian drift car to compete in the DMMC.
Cyr first discovered his passion for customizing cars in his father’s garage, soon to be followed by his need for speed. Before he could legally hold a drivers license, Cyr was deeply involved in BMX, where he first began developing his “insane” racing personality and style. When not racing, Cyr can be found building low-riders and other customs with his Cyrious Garageworks team, or judging local amateur drift events.
"We’re thrilled to partner with Pat Cyr as he returns to DMCC competition this year in a stunning, customized FR-S, and also pleased to share more customized Scion models from our popular Scion Tuner Challenge,” said Cyril Dimitris, Director of Scion in Canada. “These examples demonstrate Scion’s conviction that vehicles are more than transportation – that they are passionate, personal expressions of the unique vision of their owners."
The Cyrious Garageworks’ extensively modified FR-S, equipped with roll-cage and banana fenders, is fine-tuned to match Cyr’s aggressive and crowd-revving racing style. Cyr’s FR-S has been creating a ton of buzz since it debuted at the Montréal Auto Show earlier this year - get your up-close look at Cyr’s FR-S at the Toronto, Quebec, and Vancouver shows.
You can also catch Cyr hosting the 2013 Scion FR-S Tuner Challenge. Three teams have each customized an FR-S, and are going head to head in 11 grueling challenges, while competing for fan support and votes. Who will rein champion of the road? Check out the action and choose your favourite, here.
