Ahead of the 2015 Canadian V-Prix in Montreal, the DS Automobiles Liverpool Test Team headed to Toronto with Kip Maxwell as the star attraction of an event celebrating the best of virtual motorsport and the motor industry. A host of classic race and road cars were on show, with the area around Exhibition Place also turned into a racetrack for the day allowing for a short time trial event. The Lapierre Competition DS9 Hybrid prototype led the times for the majority of the day, fending off challenges from entries from stock car racing, virtual American open wheel racing and even the iconic Peugeot 208 Pikes Peak, before Kip Maxwell took the 2015 Liverpool-Downton to the track, managing an impressive 1:02.233 to take the win in the exhibition event. Maxwell was enthusiastic about attending the event: 'It's always great to get to some of the places that aren't in the front line of Formula Virtual. The race in Montreal is amazing, but the whole of Canada is big on motorsport. This event organised by the local government is testament to that. I'm glad we had the chance to have some fun here, it's a great little circuit. It was also good to compare the FV car with some other types, such as the DS9 Prototype - it's fair to say it was a close run thing!'
