Hello race fans! Check this out![size=7]! 1973 Video footage of 914 at Mosport.
So, you may know that the first use of a safety car in F1 was a 914 at the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport. See this short video for the history:

But did you also know that there was a pre-race parade of 914s to chaffeur the celebrity drivers around the track? Racers included Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, Graham Hill, Nikki Lauda, James Hunt and others. Check out this video - the parade happens at the 6:34 mark.

Hoping to hear from more American friends coming to join us in recreating the Porsche 914 parade with laps around this famous circuit following a recreation of the 914 pace car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) The parade laps happen on Sunday at lunch time, following the 914 car corral, and they are FREE!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

And in case you missed it, admittance to CTMP (Mosport) for the CanAm Challenge and camping is also free!!!

This event is open to All PCA members.
