2010 Rolex 24 hours of Daytona is in the books

January 31, 2010 by Gary Grant 7 Comments

The 2010 Rolex 24 hours of Daytona is on the record books, with the #9 Riley Porsche of Action Express Racing took the overall honors while the GT class was won by the #70 Speedsource Mazda RX-8.

We’ve been working with Canadian team Bullet Racing to bring close to around the clock reports throughout the event. I’m happy to report that the Bullet Racing Porsche 911 GT3 was still running as the checkered flag flew. The team finished 13th in class and 20th overall following an excitement filled event.

Bullet Racing is racing for the kids

January 29, 2010 by Gary Grant Leave a Comment

As we’ve been following Bullet Racing through the first couple of days leading up to the Rolex 24 at Daytona, we’ve been focusing on the team and the car. As the team is resting up for the start tomorrow, I thought that maybe we should talk a bit about the cause the team is racing for.

Bullet Racing is not only an all Canadian team, it is an all volunteer team, world class drivers included. Team owner Steve Paquette is footing the bills and the team is hard at work chasing down donations for the BC Children’s Hospital. Every penny donated will go to this hospital that cares for a million sick and injured kids in British Columbia and the Yukon. Not only are they the underdog privateer team, they are also working hard to support an important charity.

Visit BulletRacing.ca to donate. You’ll find the link at the top left.

Read the team’s full press release after the break and be sure to visit The Garage often over the weekend as we keep you up to date on the team’s progress during the race.

The Garage is following the 2010 Rolex 24 at Daytona live via Bullet Racing

January 27, 2010 by Gary Grant 2 Comments

While we’ve grown to cover cool automotive stuff here in The Garage, our roots are in Canadian motorsports. Lately we’ve been bring you a ton of historic content, but let’s not forget that time marches on and Canadians are still out there doing good things and going fast.

This weekend is the annual Rolex 24 hours of Daytona and The Garage has hooked up with the only all Canadian team in the race this year. Bullet Racing is campaigning a Porsche GT3 in the round the clock event and is doing it in the name of the BC Children’s Hospital. The driving squad is made up of team owner Steve Paquette, a long time Porsche racer, Canadian Indycar veteran Ross Bentley, one time Porsche factory driver Kees Nierop, A1 GP driver Sean McIntosh and Porsche Super Cup driver Darryl O’Young. In other words, the depth of talent on this team is substantial!

As a bit of a side note, you may recognize Kees Nierop from our coverage of the Transsyberia Rally over the past couple of years.

Porsche PR type Jimin Yoo will be in the Bullet Racing pit all weekend along with the BR’s Media crew and they will be tweeting updates live throughout the race. They also plan to shoot and share lots of photos and video as the race continues from one day to the next. By the time the cars hit the track, we’ll have the team’s live feed on the sidebar so we can all keep up to date on the team’s progress. We’ll also post photos and video as they become available providing I can stay awake here at home!

After the break we’ll kick things off with a short video from the folks at Grand Am, showcasing a few of the teams racing for charities, with Bullet Racing front and center.
