For the first and only time during the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge race calendar, we have a home-court advantage. 🏠 Montreal Motorsport Group (@mtlmtrsprtgrp) considers Canadian Tire Motorsport Park its stomping ground, a 2.459-mile, 10-turn clockwise circuit known for its dramatic elevation changes and as a former Formula 1 host from 1967 to 1977. To say we have some unfinished business to attend to from Watkins Glen would be an understatement, but we still walked away from the IMPC mid-season race with one major accomplishment: sole possession of P5 in the championship. @daiyoshihara’s focus has been unwavering since our last race weekend. He’s logged plenty of time on the simulator to acclimate to the circuit, as well as repetitive reps for executing the perfect driver change during time-sensitive pit stops. @karlwittmer and the rest of the MMG camp were equally as excited to be on home soil. There’s an undeniable allure to racing on familiar territory with the Canadian flag waving from the grandstands. Wittmer was succinct in his weekend forecast: “Eyes on the prize.” Indeed, the prize is there for the taking. The green flag drops at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park 120 race on Saturday, July 13 from 1:20 PM to 3:25 PM ET with practice on Friday and qualifying preceding the two-hour contest.

The power of focus and determination 💭 #PoweredbyHonda #HondaRacing #IMSA 🎥 @pierrealexandre__g
We’re almost home 🏠 After the #93 Pit Paddock FL5 Civic Type R TCR clinched P5 in the championship at Watkins Glen, momentum is on our side for this weekend’s home race. 💪 🏁 The @mtlmtrsprtgrp team has shown the rest of the Michelin Pilot Challenge field that it means business—especially over the last three race weekends—and standing on the podium at @ctmpofficial would be the sweetest way to start the second half of the championship. 🏆 📸: @pierrealexandre__g #PitandPaddock #MontrealMotorsportGroup #IMSA #IMPC #FL5 #Motorsport #DaiYoshihara #KarlWittmer #CTMP #CanadianTireMotorsportPark
Race is today at 1:25PM ~ Canadian Tire Motorsport Park 120 🇨🇦🏎️
We got our first podium of the IMPC season! 🥳🏆 The Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) 120 was the highly-anticipated home race for Pit Paddock and Montreal Motorsport Group (@mtlmtrsprtgrp), and from the moment the car rolled out of the trailer, the team was at it. @daiyoshihara assumed qualifying duties, and like many other IMSA Michelin Pilot Cup tracks, it was Yoshihara’s first time driving, so his P6 qualifying effort netted him additional seat time. This seemed to pay off as Yoshihara climbed from P6 to P3 within the first fives minutes of the race, with his best lap time beating out the current leaders by two full seconds. The midpoint meant many would dive into the pits for the first time, including Yoshihara and his nearest competitor—the #52 Audi—who’d been challenging for P3 since the start. @karlwittmer resumed race duties in P6 before the first full course caution came at the 56-minute mark. By the time the green flag waved and the flurry of pit stops had run its course, Wittmer had climbed to P3. The drama came with 27 minutes to go: the #17 Unitronic/JDC-Miller MotorSports Audi RS3 LMS TCR suddenly pulled off course with a mechanical failure. The #33 Hyundai never surrendered the lead after the Audi’s exit; however, Wittmer applied plenty of pressure all the way up to the checkered flag, even despite losing his anti-lock braking system. Wittmer and Dai Yoshihara held onto second place, 0.723 seconds behind the winners. 🏁 “Karl, Dai, and all of our MMG crew deserve this podium,” said Sabrina D’Amico, MMG’s co-owner and Logistics Manager. There’s much more to play for in the upcoming months; the result means that we moved within striking distance of securing P4 in the overall championship. Thank you to @arpbolts, @eneosusa, @turn14, @mishimoto, @_whiteline, and @dbausa for supporting Pit Paddock’s inaugural IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge campaign with Montreal Motorsport Group.
