August 25-26th, 2007 - Mosport - Ontario, Canada
Rounds 7 and 8 of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge Series saw Bob Faieta close within 2 points of the championship lead after finishing second and fourth consecutively while current Points leader Charles Scardina (Metro Racing Systems) finished 3rd and 19th in the two 30 minute races. Scardina finished up at Mid-Ohio with 107 points to Faieta's 91 points. Round 7 brought Faieta within 14 points, but Scardina scoring no points in Round 8 meant Faieta has now closed within 2 points of Scardina. Heading into Round 9 at Petite LeMans October 3rd through 6th will see Scardina leading with 123 points to Faieta's 121 points.
Faieta piloting the #4 CareLevel Management sponsored 997 GT3 Cup to his second win this season at the Mid-Ohio Sport Car Course in the sixth round of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge Race July 21st moves him within 16 points of the championship points lead. Bob took the lead on the restart from a yellow flag on lap six, and lead the rest of the way to victory in the 45 minute IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge presented by Michelin at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Faeita who won round three at Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, also finished second in each of the two rounds at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and has shown front running ability since his front row start at the season opener in Sebring, Florida.
IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge Series
The IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge doesn't allow professional drivers, so the field is filled with talented club racers who have an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities, and learn what it takes to enter professional racing.
One of the big issues with the series is car to car - contact not allowed in club racing. To be in the points you have to finish, so learning to stay out of trouble and to avoid those drivers who think the rules are for everyone else while fighting for position can be difficult.
IMSA officals have demonstrated they intend to enforce sportsman like behavior though and have already sent drivers home that don't practice good clean racing. Bob has been working hard this season to avoid such drivers and get out front with enough lead to stay clear of trouble.
