Amazon Prime Show Fastlife is Coming to Portland, OR
Derek and the TRG team will be arriving into Portland mid-day on Thursday, July 12th and will be heading straight to Porsche Beaverton. We have partnered together for this race and will be kicking off the weekend with an event at our beautiful dealership. All are welcome to join as a great way to get things rolling and check out the beautiful scenery in our upscale Porsche showroom.
The first on track activity will begin on Friday. Anything labeled Sprint X GTS is the category that Sean (Derek’s co-driver) and Derek will be running in. Friday is just a practice day so things are pretty easy, informal and not very crowded.
Saturday will be the first race which is 1 hour long. It has a required pit stop during a window that opens 25 minutes into the race where drivers are required to change. Derek will be the driver starting Saturdays race and his co-driver Sean Gibbons will be finishing. They will reverse orders on Sunday with Sean starting and Derek finishing.
Fifty minute, all-out, door-to-door sprints to the checkered flag. Multi-class racing featuring some of today’s top drivers piloting the hottest production based race cars at North America’s top tracks. The only multi-class sports racing series with standing starts. These are the hallmarks of the Pirelli World Challenge series.
Derek DeBoer, an Oregon athlete, and his wife Brooke, a Southern Oregon Filmmaker teamed up in 2014 to create Fastlife, a show about a family striving to live their dreams amidst all the realities of every day life.
