So apparently the other name of Canada's CSC is DXC Technology. I checked their FB page and saw that they are the sponsors of Team Penske IndyCar team.

 

Team Penske have won the latest IndyCar race of 2017 (held last weekend). They also have a 2nd place from this year's Indy 500. This all can't be a coincidence.

The plot thickens: it was Helio Castroneves who won that race (one of my favourite drivers), his first win in three years. Castroneves is a Brazilian athlete....I sent this message to a Brazilian athlete......

Wow.

 

Perhaps you were pointing out how DXC Technology is the secret of his success.

Stumbled on these endurance results on FEI website. Apparently, there are events in which the 2nd placed athlete gets more prize money than the winner.
