Auto Obsessed here we're at the Racing For a Cure number nine, so this is the ninth season
it's going to be a great event very early in the morning we've got
about 150 to 170 kids from the Stollery Children's Hospital that are going to get an opportunity
to ride in any one of the cars or maybe all the cars there's going to be three helicopters on
site one of the gracious donors donated his pilots and his helicopters to take some of these children
who wish to go for a ride in a helicopter as well there's millions and millions of dollars
worth of cars here some special cars all kind of flavors we got Ferraris, McLaren's, Lamborghinis,
Porsches, we've got some hot rods we've got a police car over here there's all kind of different
cars for these children Auto Obsessed has been a proud supporter now for all nine seasons
we're a sponsor and supporter it's something that that we feel is really important to bring that
car community together give a positive vibe and it raises a ton of money for an event like this that
gives the children an opportunity to you know make a brighter day their siblings as well are
involved in this too and their parents and again it brings a lot of money and a lot of awareness to
the Stollery Children's Hospital we're going to take a lot of footage for you come on in
take a seat and let's go for a ride through the event this weekend
Last night this car was unveiled this is the brand new Maserati MC20 it's got 621 horsepower
this one's done in a satin pearlescent paint a lot of carbon fiber it's got the beautiful swing doors
it's got the pressed carbon fiber really gorgeous car can't wait to hear this thing
on the road today it's also nice to see Maserati bringing the supercar back in
we used to have an MC12 in Edmonton which was which was a phenomenal car now we've got an MC20
this is a Ferrari Speciale these were a pretty rare car when they came out still a really rare
car very high valued the owner of this car comes out to every one of the racing for care events
as well he drives his car a lot he uses it it's nice to see one of these special low production
cars in use and the owner the owner definitely isn't afraid to bring it out and puts a lot of
great miles on it this is always a hit with the kids as well they
like the police car it's got the sirens it's got the flashers they participate in
a lot of the local events so the police department is always a supporter at all these events and it's
you know it's nice that they're a part of the car community as well they're hardcore car guys you'll
see them at the racetrack you'll see them at these type of charity events and they're a great bunch
of guys and I know the kids just love getting in the cop car and giving the lights a flash.
So here we are super early in the morning weather's not looking so great we've had
actually a really poor spring and summer here in Edmonton Alberta Canada the forecast is indicating
there's going to be some rain right now huge overcast little disappointing hopefully we're
going to have some good weather anyways and keep these cars dry and keep the cars clean
the Gallardo just went through a multi-month restorative detail full undercarriage detailing
the suspension the engine bay full paint correction all new paint protection film
multi layers of Swissvax OBSSSSD wax so the car is sparkling the car is absolutely perfect
not bad for a 16 year old car now and hopefully we can get the whole day without
having it rain on but hey the car doesn't melt when it gets wet it's been wet many times and here
we go so we're going to head over to the first leg of the event and that's it's a driver get-together
driver's meeting a little drive with all the cars I mean they're expecting I can't
remember the exact numbers at this point but there's going to be well over 50 cars there's
going to be some supercars there's going to be a big range of cars at the event.
