Cordeiro report; Driver lineup for 2010 VW Jetta TDI Cup

My name is Andrew Cordeiro and I am from Woodbridge, Ontario. In 2008 I began a very exciting racing career with Volkswagen and will continue to do so throughout the 2010 season. Last season brought significant results to my racing progress, with my first podium finish at my hometown track, Mosport International Raceway. Season highlights included: Road Atlanta, GA 2nd place finish, Mosport, ON 3rd place finish, Autobahn Country Club Joliet, Ill. 4th place finish, Mid-Ohio, OH, 4th place finish and 7th place finish overall in my second year of racing.

Ice Racing 2010
During the “off season” I have kept my racing technique sharp by competing in Ice Racing. If you haven’t seen or heard of this before, you are missing out! Located in Minden, Ontario, just two hours north of Toronto, ice racing is the most fun you can have with a car in the winter months. It is a very inexpensive sport and provides an abundance of car control skills which are essential for the roads. The season began in January and runs through the last weekend in February. All spectators are welcomed! For more information on ice racing check out http://casc.on.ca/iceRacing.php

Driver coaching 2010
This year I will be coaching at Mosport with http://www.frankewald.com/ lapping days.Mosport is an incredible track and if you have ever wanted to tackle this beast, Frank’s lapping days are a great, relaxed way to try it out. The next lapping day is Friday, May 28, 2010.
