Unfortunately
For North American fans, the Muscle Milk entry for German Mark Bullit, a regular in the IMSA GT3 Challenge by Yokohama series, was the best finisher in 41st place, while Canadian driver Perry Bortolotti and Porsche Cars North America driver Melanie Snow were put out of the race with on-track incidents. On lap #5, Bortolotti swerved to avoid another competitor and spun off the track, hitting the barrier and finishing his day. Melanie Snow’s incident happen much sooner – near the beginning of the first lap.

Hopefully again next year. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for posting John.

Who's car was this? Were these all white/stock cups that were wrapped for the various drivers?

Thanks,
Francois

Choose Porsche Carrera World Cup, then click on Video.

First view of Perry is @ 11:44, then his position in the grid at 13:00. Haven't watched the whole thing yet.
