One Lap 2009: Day 6 Hat Trick for the Cannonball GT-R

May 8, 2009

Thursday turned out better than hoped for team Cannonball driving their Nissan GT-R. Dominating both events at Carolina Motorsports park and going on to win again at the BMW Performance Center event. Each win coincidentally 4 seconds ahead of their nearest competitor. Four seconds ahead of the #16 Corvette Z06 with a 5:38.178 in event 13 , four seconds ahead of the #1 Porsche GT2 in event 14 and then four seconds ahead of the #4 Subaru WRX in event 15.

Thursday’s amazing run puts real distance between the Nissan GT-R in first place overall and the Porsche GT2 in second place overall. Now with 110 points separating them there’s going to be a lot of work for the Cannonfodder Porsche to do to make it up.
