After an uncompetitive start, Robert Wickens scored all of the team's 75 points in 2007–08, as well as picking up another victory and four podiums. The team finished 9th overall.

2006–07 season

Drivers: James Hinchcliffe, Sean McIntosh

Although the team scored in less races, Team Canada still managed to pick up a podium and finish in 11th position.

2005–06 season

Drivers: Patrick Carpentier, Sean McIntosh

Team Canada had mixed fortunes during the first season. A victory, and a podium finish along with other consistent scoring helped them to finish in 11th position.
