Through the course of 2019, the Driven Show team held seven events in seven different cities as their 2019 show tour. Two new champions were crowned during the Driven Aftermarket Car Show 2019 Canadian National Tour. JJ Dubec from Vancouver took home the top prize for show accolades with his Liberty Walk NSX, and James Creasy from Calgary was awarded for his Ken Block Inspired Ford Focus. The seven city tour point series was based on two categories - overall accolades based on judging, and distance traveled to the Driven 2019 Tour stops. Let’s take a look at what earned these two the champion titles.
Driven Canada Presented by XPEL and Superspeed Wheel, plans on visiting 8 Cities in 2020:
- Calgary May 1-2 U of C Olympic Oval

2019 DRIVEN TOUR CHAMPION: JAMES CREASEY
Inspired by the Gymkhana antics of the iconic Ken Block, James Creasey built his 2017 Ford Focus RS with that rally prowess and stunt-driving inspiration in mind. Throughout the duration of the Driven Show 2019 tour, Creasey amassed extra points for distance travelled to the shows, coming all the way from Vancouver. Through a combination of quality work to his car, as well as distance travelled, Creasey earned himself the title of Driven 2019 champion.

2019 DRIVEN TOUR CHAMPION: J.J. DUBEC
By now most of our audience is familiar with JJ Dubec and the F7LTHY team. Throughout the duration of the 2019 Driven Show tour, the F7LTHY team was well represented by Dubec and company, with numerous cars donning their banner at each event. Of course, with such a repertoire for quality builds, Dubec’s NSX, which we have featured previously, was the magnum opus of the F7LTHY name.
