It is the annual visit to Canada this weekend and the fabulous Mosport circuit. This week Olly and Olivier have competition from 2 other Corvettes in GT1. Joining the No.3 and No.4 C6.Rs is a No.33 car for Ron Fellows and Andy Pilgrim. The third car will be white in colour, representing the Special Edition road version dedicated to the very popular Canadian. The event reunites former teammates Ron and Andy who actually took the first of Corvette Racing's 59 victories at Texas Motor Speedway in September 2000.
Olly confirmed, "It's going to be great to race against Ron at Mosport. Nobody knows Mosport as well as he does. We all love this track because it's such a fantastic place to race." However, the Ollies will be looking to finish ahead of their rivals Johnny O'Connell and Jan Magnussen to further consolidate their GT1 Championship lead.
The race takes place on Sunday starting at 3.04 pm local time (8.04 pm UK time). Qualifying is on Saturday and can be heard live on the ALMS Radio Web at www.americanlemans.com. The 2 hour 45 minute race will be shown LIVE in the UK on Motors TV. Coverage starts on Sunday at 8.00 pm.
This is the start of 2 weeks in North America for Oliver with the next ALMS round at Detroit on 1st September.
