It took four attempts spanning eight years, but persistence paid off for Calgary’s Brett Hart when he was crowned champion of the 2018 Canadian Technician Grand Prix, held at Yamaha Motor Canada’s head offices in Toronto on Tuesday, July 24.
For Hart, a finalist at the previous three Canadian Tech GP events in 2012, 2014 and 2016, it was a dream come true to hear his name announced at the awards ceremony in front of fellow competitors, Yamaha management, judges and staff.
Representatives from Yamaha Motor Company head office in Japan were even in attendance.
Rounding out the top three in this year’s Canadian competition were second-place Scott Szollos from Snow City Cycle and Marine (Toronto, ON) and third-place Patrick Gibson of Cycle Works Motorsports (Red Deer, AB).
The 2018 Canadian Technician GP comprised nine different labs that challenged the technicians’ skillsets, from mechanical to electronic to customer service.
Each lab tested the knowledge, patience and attention to detail of Canada’s top techs, reflecting the talent required to provide the ultimate service experience to Yamaha customers. Hart came out with the top overall average, earning high score in four different labs.
“It was very challenging,” said Hart, who will go on to represent Canada at the World Technician Grand Prix in Iwata, Japan in October.
