Daijiro Yoshihara Instagram – 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.
Thank you to @arpbolts, @eneosusa, @turn14, @mishimoto, @_whiteline, and @dbausa for supporting Pit Paddock’s inaugural @imsa_racing Michelin Pilot Challenge campaign with Montreal Motorsport Group (MMG).
