In a field of nearly 100 other competitors, Canadian Perry Bortolotti, winner of three of the first four races of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada, drove his Land Motorsport 911 GT3 Cup car to a respectable 73rd at Saturday's Porsche Carrera World Cup race at the Nurburgring. Bortolotti, driving an older 3.6-litre GT3 Cup car, started 89th and had worked his way up 20 places when the infamously challenging track and the extremely wet and greasy conditions caught him out.
Bortolotti was on his final lap of the when the leaders in their newer and faster 3.8-litre cars started to come through. "I didn't want to hold up their race - but I ended up ending my own."
