GT3 Challenge Brazil spells out Porsche in Porsches on track

Earlier this month, the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Brazil took a break from punishing the pavement to spell the word “Porsche” in Porsches on Estoril's straight.

The project took 23 hours of shooting and countless more in planning. Nearly 180 people were involved including drivers, Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Brazil staff, engineers and mechanics, Estoril Circuit staff and others.

The entire formation, including the 10-meter-by-seven-meter Brazilian flag and 48 cars, took up 475 feet of the straight. It makes for a nice helicopter photo and an even cooler YouTube video.

Next time, for a higher degree of difficulty, we'd like to see “Mercedes-McLaren” on the front straight of Monaco with Formula One cars. Is that too much to ask?

Edit: The Brazilian flag shown is 10 meters by seven meters, not 10 feet by seven feet as the story originally read.
