Default Pics of GT3 Challenge @ Calabogie

I went to Calabogie today to watch some of the practice for the GT3 Cup Challenge Canada that will be going this weekend. Here are a few pics from around the paddock.

Cool pics Geoff. I'm pretty sure my wife has seen a Porsche Motorsports transport truck like that pull up to our garage in her nightmares - or was that my wet dream... either way it would have the same conclusion

Good eye on b5audia4. I like the green of the GT3 .1 RS but must agree with Zookie, this is not a nice color

Not sure you noticed Mr. FFaust, but the old owner of your GT3 is in car # 84.
If I was a betting man I'd put my money on Perry this weekend.
He's fast and has owned some real fast cars, yours included

Cheers,
Geoff

Thanks Geoff, and of course I noticed. I've spent LOTS of time at Fiorano's over the last few months, it's a bit like Mecca to me, and have seen LOTS of Perry's car as well as Jim's (which apparently is also very fast, so be careful how you bet ).

I'll be at Mosport this weekend, but otherwise, I would have made the trek to Calabogie.

Hope that there are more than the 7 entries that were reported elsewhere. I need this series to survive if I want to have a venue for when I'm ready

Cheers,
Francois

From a strong source, I'd heard 8 cars were registered in the Challenge....

Here's a link to the schedule

Nice pics Geoff, hope for some of that "dry stuff" today...

Going up tomorrow. Hopefully not too much rain but it's supposed to be cold.

IMSA live timing had nothing for today's results?
