Yesterday, our Head of Marketing Stacey McDowall, had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2024 Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto Race. The atmosphere was electric, with racing enthusiasts from all over coming together to witness the spectacular racing event. The highlight of the day was meeting the race winner Colton Herta and discussing his thoughts on gaming. To our surprise, while he doesn't game much during his downtime (he prefers to golf!!), he did reveal a soft spot for Mario Kart—a classic that never goes out of style.
