Just over two weeks ago, the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Michelin kicked off in high gear at the newly redesigned Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, where participants showcased their talent and skill at the 2013 Castrol Victoria Day SpeedFest. Mark Motors Racing started the 2013 season on a high note as driver Marco Cirone took first place in the Masters Platinum Cup! Mark Motors Racing is now in 4th place overall, and is going into this weekends Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada with a tremendous amount of excitement.

Mark Motors Racing dominated the Masters Platinum Series, in a nail biting finish against Etienne Borgeat. Marco Cirone started off the grid in fourth position and then took the lead with only four minutes remaining, earning himself the first place title for the Masters Platinum Cup. Mark Motors Racing driver Perry Bortolotti also produced impressive results finishing fourth place in the Masters Platinum Cup.

“Oh wow, I don’t think I ever worked so hard in a car! I had a terrible start and a couple guys got by me and I couldn’t believe it, so I was kind of flustered in the beginning but then I got by Mantella and man did he up his game! I have to congratulate Anthony (Mantella) because he gave me the room to make the pass. That was a very gentlemanly move and I will remember that. I definitely want to thank Mark Motors for giving me the opportunity. The car was amazing!” said driver Marco Cirone.

Overall, both Marco Cirone and Perry Bortolotti finished the first weekend of the series with tremendous success as Marco Cirone finished in fifth place overall and Perry Bortolotti finished in 8th place overall. Mark Motors Racing is off to a great start and Marco Cirone and Perry Bortolotti are more determined than ever to take the 2013 Ultra 94 GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by storm. If their current results are any indication of the talent and skill to come, Mark Motors Racing will have a very successful future at the 2013 Ultra 94 GT3 Cup Challenge Canada Series.
