We lost one half of our team to education. Cassie and Brad are back at school, so we (Jenn and Adam) in an attempt to get over our sadness, hit the road and headed straight for St.Eustache, Quebec. Why you ask? Because St.Eustache is the place to be over the long weekend! Why is St.Eustache the place to be? Well because there is a DMCC race event here! And you know what that means...poutine... fast cars...sweet drifts... and did we mention poutine?

Since we have been abandoned by our other half... we are no longer doing the Casting Call, but instead are heading around the track with our camera to see what YOU have to say about Castrol, the race, or life in general. Once you say something to our camera we give you free stuff!!! Isn't that awesome?! You get to be on the internet and get free stuff!

So come check us out, we will be here until 2pm today!

Hope everyone had a happy long weekend!

A zen team is a happy team

After a long drive to and from Quebec, and a short trip to Windsor we got to spend the day with Castrol's top clients from Central Ontario, up North at Rocky Crest Resort, and although we were working, the escence of the Muskokas was just what we needed to feel relaxed and rejuvinated.

We spent the day on the golf course with Wakefield employees and Castrol clients getting some great footage of good AND bad drives! And spent the rest of the time documenting their trip so they will always be able to remember what a great day it was.

Thanks to our trip we are feeling 110 per cent and can't wait to hit Mosport Int'l Speedway tomorrow to cheer on DJK in the Canadian Tire Nascar Series! So come out and help us cheer him on! We will give you free stuff...but you will have to audition...but you could win the grande prize.... so it works out in your favour.

GO DJK!

French is the language of love

We are back from Montmagny, Quebec, and boy was it an experience. We saw some sweet drift racing that gave the Fast and the Furious racers a run for their money, and we got to experience some french culture! Mmmmmm poutine!

The 10 hour drive there and back was totally worth it because the Quebecois sure do have enthusiasm! They showed their love for Castrol, all while speaking the language of love! Nous aimons les Quebecois and we can't wait to come back! We will be back in St. Eustache on Labour Day weekend, so everyone in St. Eustache get excited!

Right this second we are in Windsor, so if you are a fan of ours and kickin' about in the Windsor area come check us out at the Dan Kane Chevy dealership on Divison Road!

Love,

The Team

Ferdinand Porsche would be proud

Did you know that the Prosche company was created in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, an Austro-Hungarian engineer who also designed the first Volkswagen.

But today we are not talking about Volkswagens we are talking about Porsches, the Porsches that Ferdinand Porsche and his family take pride in, the porsches that are right here with us! That's right, we are surrounded by Porsches! Aren't we lucky?! You could be surrounded by Porsches too, all you have to so is come to Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ontario!

We are here until 5pm today, and tomorrow too!

We look forward to seeing you.... and if you have a Porsche, bring it, because you will fit right in.

Armageddon is an awesome movie, and also we are going to Alberta

Tomorrow we're leaving on a big jet plane...and we know when we'll be back again! Even though Ben Affleck won't be coming with us, we're still gonna have a great time. Our destination may not be a meteor flying towards the Earth... but it is Alberta.

If you don't get the Armageddon references... you should really see the movie, it is team approved.

But on a serious note, tomorrow we will be heading to Calgary and then to Edmonton to see if the folks out west have what it takes to be a Castrol Spokesperson! So stay tuned because our antics are sure to be filled with humourous tomfoolery.

A beautiful day at the race track!

Today we were at Mosport Raceway for the Canadian Tire Nascar Series, and the sun decided to join us again!!! We have really been lucking out with the beautiful weather!

If you didn't come out today, you should be jealous, because we had a blast. We were consistently busy with AWESOME auditions, got to hang out with our favourite racer of all time... DJ KENNINGTON... and we were even track side to see him slip into 6th place to finish the race in style! Stay tuned for awesome pictures and video!

As always, we had an amazing time at Mosport, and loved every last second of it! We even appreciated the scenic drive that allowed us to talk about nature and bond with one another...

Sadly, you will not be hearing from us for the next two days because we will be taking our "weekend," but be ready on Wednesday to see all of the awesome photos and video we captured over the weekend!

Love always,

The team

Grand Openings are Grand

Last night we had loads of fun at the Oakville Soccer Club doing both the Goal contest and the Casting Call contest! We don't regularly run both, but we thought since we were going to a soccer club we would get some out of this world GOOOOOOAAAAALLLSSSSS... and that we did.

Keep an eye out for the great auditions from yesterday on changeyouroilchangeyourlife.com.

Today we are at Waterford Truck and Trailer for their grand opening, they have the barbeque going and the weather looks like it's going to be on our side today! Let's cross our fingers so it stays that way.

So come by, have some lunch, soak up the sun and try your hand at an extreme audition (or just hang out with us).

Congratulations to Waterford Truck and Trailer on their opening, and see everyone later!

Our first race!


We're back from our first event! We were at Mosport International Speedway in Bowmanville, Ontario for the Victoria Day Speedfest Weekend, and it was awesome!

This was a brand new experience for the entire team, and it created new memories, as well as surfaced old ones that we were able to share with each other. Adam, for example, took a trip down memory lane to a time when he was a proud member of a pipe band, and marched the entire track at the Indianapolis Speedway before the famous Indy 500! I have been told there is photographic evidence of this, and I promise that by the end of the summer I will share them with all of you.

This weekend really brought us together as a team, and I think we are all so excited to spend the rest of the summer holding these extremely hilarious auditions with each other.
Speaking of extremely hilarious auditions, check them out at changeyouroildchangeyourlife.com. It's amazing what extreme conditions people will endure to show their love for Castrol!

Stay tuned for more information about auditions, and funny stories about the team!

Meet the team!



Hey I'm Jenn! I'm really excited to be a part of the Castrol Casting Call team this summer. If you follow this regularly you will quickly learn that I am extremely outgoing, and am really looking forward to watching contestants endure extreme conditions this summer!
I am a graduate in Media Studies and journalism, and in my spare time I love snowboarding, dance, writing, reading, music and travel. Hope to see you guys out there!


Hey, I’m Cassie, another member of the Castrol Casting Call crew. I am currently studying Health Science at the University of Western Ontario with a special interest in media. I love to travel with friends and family, so naturally, I’m really excited to hit the road this summer. Keep a look out for our Castrol tent at racings events across Canada because we’ll be waiting to make you a Castrol spokesperson.


Hello people of the Internet. My name is Brad and I am also a member of the casting call crew. For the past few years I have been studying media at the University Of Western Ontario and have really enjoyed it. On my spare time I enjoy the outdoors and swimming. During the winter I like snowmobiling and to go snowboarding. However, my real passion is film and am looking forward to shooting your auditions, hope to see you in front of the camera soon!


Hey Castrol Fans, I’m Adam! I’m really looking forward traveling across Canada this summer, and attending various automotive events. The auditions we’re holding are a fun and interactive way to get in touch with Castrol fans. I’ve just finished my Media Information Technoculture degree, as well as my French minor at the University of Western Ontario. During the winter I am a part-time ski instructor and coach and enjoy taking various ski trips throughout the season.
