Mark Motors Racing is all set for this year’s racing season! The team is ready to kick things off this weekend at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ontario for the first two races of the GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama series. Behind the wheel of the Mark Motors Racing cars this weekend will be Roman De Angelis, Marco Cirone and Perry Bortolotti.
“There really is no track quite like CTMP, so I am always excited getting strapped in for those first few laps” said De Angelis. For the second year De Angelis will be pulling double duty, competing in both the Canadian and USA GT3 cup series. “I am looking forward to competing this year and feel I have made some improvements during the off season that will translate to better on-track performance. My focus this year is capturing both GT3 cup championships and I feel I have been working hard towards that both on and off the track. I can’t thank Mark Motors enough for the support and opportunity they have given me, and I plan to make them proud!” – Roman De Angelis.
When asked about this weekend, Marco exclaimed “’Race 1 can’t come soon enough!” Cirone is a true motorsport hero, with more races under his belt than anyone else competing in this year’s GT3 series. Even with his vast experience, anticipation for the start of the season has been building for quite some time. “Although we have had a chance to do some other races down south, it’s been a long winter and I am very excited to strap myself into this beautiful 2019 Cup car” said Cirone. “We have been patiently waiting and now it’s time to start racing exactly where we left off last year – with a win.”
The Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama will race twice during this weekend, at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. Race #1 will kick off at 10:55AM EST Saturday, March 18th, followed by Race #2 at 11:55AM EST on Sunday, May 19th. Watch Race #1 via live stream on Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada Facebook page.
