In August of 1997, Canadian racing ace Ron Fellows scored a legendary victory in one of the most iconic prototype cars of the time - the Ferrari 333sp. After taking the pole, Fellows drove a steady pace and came home with Ferrari's first professional sports car win in Canada since the 1960's.
20 years later, now co-owner of Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Ron Fellows gets a surprise call from team & car owner Remo Ferri. Minutes late Ron is back at the wheel of the exact car in which he took that memorable victory.
Enjoy!

@jcgabriel15693 years agoYou can see how much he loved being reunited with the car he raced all those years ago. Those fist pumping in the air as he pulled into the pits, as though he had just won yet another race with his old steed. 2

@jeffwagner86906 years agoLOL, WHAT? I would love to know who and where these surprised people were that weekend, my Dad and I sure didn't see any. He was put in the car for a reason! Ron not only Qualified P1 but also broke the Qualifying Track Record! He was EVEN asked for Mosport pointers by Full-Time Driver Rob Morgan (I read), Ron pointed out he was lifting too much at the top of turns #1, and #2, also Ron STARTED the Race. BOTH speak volumes as he wasn't the Full-Time Driver! .....Expand4
