Before about 100 Porsches left 91原创 Saturday morning to take part in the first-ever , the drivers received a friendly reminder from the police that the event was a rally, not a race, and they would be expected to obey the rules of the road.
鈥淓xcessive speeding is 40 kilometres over the speed limit,鈥� RCMP officer Steve Brown pointed out.
鈥淲e don鈥檛 want to see that.鈥�
Or drifting, straddling the centre line or doing doughnuts on the freeway, all offences that can result in a car being seized, he said.
鈥淗ave a safe rally,鈥� Brown said.
The drivers left the 91原创 Porsche Centre Saturday morning, led by a rare valued at over $2 million driven by Christian Chia, the CEO of OpenRoad Auto Group.
鈥淭hey built 918 of them,鈥� Chia said, as he wedged his luggage into the shallow front trunk of the mid-engined exotic supercar.
鈥淚t鈥檚 beautiful engineering.鈥�
A few drivers revved their engines as they exited the parking lot, but none appeared to be exceeding the speed limit.
Once the cars arrived in Pemberton, plans called for some faster driving at the local airport, which had rented organizers a runway for the occasion.
The charity fundraiser for the Pemberton Firefighters Association was put together by Luxury Alliance Group, the same organization that puts on the Diamond Rally and Luxury and Super Car Weekend events.
