While PWC makes its way to Lime Rock Park this weekend, here are photos from last weekend when they came up to Canadia! Full album available on flickr:

On track action (and in no particular order because Kinja):
And because car spotting is what I do, even at the track:

Im fairly certain its just a 930 with 934 bodywork, but the guy who restored it put a lot of hard work into the job and it shows. I recall the car getting sold to someone, but the guy(s) responsible for the build is Lloyd Autosports. Saw it a few times last year as well.

But what’s up with all the various exhaust pipes...? The two center ones don’t look aligned at all.. looks like one is even longer than the other.. And then what’s the tiny exhaust coming out of the side there??

Those SIN R1's have finally become good-looking. Not beautiful, but at least it isn’t as ugly as before.
Wow. Didn’t know Dodge went back in NASCAR as a Nationwide marque.
SO. MANY. CAYMAN GT4s .
I wonder how that Super GT 370Z would fare against the 650S GT3.
Speaking of Super GT... an article/photodump on Speedhunters remarked that the GT500 cars run a race pace comparable to LMP2 in Fuji . Which makes me wonder why Nissan didn’t just go enter a GTE R35 instead. Relatively cheaper than making a Prototype because they already have a good base car, plus Impul, Autech NISMO, and Mola, who are more than capable of running long races and can lend a hand to a full WEC effort.
Looks like the race didn’t end well for Realtime-Acura.

1. They look alright from the front, but the back still looks a bit alien to me.
2. Dodge has been racing in Canada since the mid 2000s and have won the championship the past few years; Canadian Tire’s 10 year sponsorship of the series recently ended, hence Pintys signed on for a new 6 year deal.
3. Indeed! Ontop of the three I spotted, I saw a red one on the way home. The clubsports on the otherhand... well, I was expecting them to be faster (but it’s their first outing).
4. JAF has been under scrutiny since GT3 seems to be dominating GT300 spec cars. That being said, I’d reckon them to be within a few seconds.
5. I recall them firmly aiming to go for the top of the sport straight out of the bat to continue on the history of the R390/R391; it’s unclear how much of the work on the current GT3 car is carried out by NISMO and how much by JRM, but now that they have the LMP1 engine they could stuff it into an updated R35 and massively overhaul the aero and safety. They still don’t really have a factory team to run it though.
6. Speaking of Nissans (Davison), one of the GTRs was going right to pass a bentley but squeezed the Acura (Eversley) who had nowhere to go but into the other bentley (Fong). The resulting front push / rear contact spun him backwards into the wall, and subsequently also spun the Bentley.
