sally

We named our GT3R "Sally" to promote Pixar's movie, "Cars", because we knew that there was going to be a female Porsche character in the movie, named "Sally". The people at Pixar didn't even know what "Sally" would look like at that time, so Kevin was able to design the car anyway he wanted. In 2004, she ran in three professional races. Now she belongs to someone else and is happily running in Vintage events.

(she didn't run with the "Pixar-Sally" livery at this race, but she is still "Sally" to us)
