What’s your pre-race ritual? Visualization and repetition, even for pit stop driver changes, are some of the most important steps I take to prepare for the race ahead. 💪 🎥 @pierrealexandre__g #PitandPaddock #MMG #IMSA #IMPC
Heading into the holiday weekend with @mtlmtrsprtgrp 🇺🇸 Hoping everyone enjoys the time with their friends and family! 🎥 @pierrealexandre__g #PitandPaddock #MMG #IMSA #IMPC #FourthOfJuly

The green flag drops at the O’Reilly Auto Parts four-hour enduro on Sunday, June 9 from 12:35 PM to 4:40 PM ET, will you be tuning in for one of the Midwest’s most competitive road courses? Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course’s founder, Les Griebling, famously said: “A lot of people were building courses and I said we’ll build one that’s a little better. I wanted it to be difficult and it came out my way. It’s very interesting because the driver is busy all the time.” “Busy” was Griebling’s cheeky way of saying “insanely difficult to master” and the laborious nature of Mid-Ohio’s layout only gets harder when you’re going wheel-to-wheel with 49 other competitors in two distinct classes. Rhythm is a key attribute here. Get the first in a series of interrelated corners wrong, and you’ll be swallowed alive by the end of it. Although Laguna Seca has more elevation change overall (mostly due to its signature Corkscrew), Mid-Ohio is a more progressive rollercoaster ride throughout. The track boasts 136 feet of total elevation change from its highest point at the Keyhole to its lowest point at Thunder Valley where fast cars flirt with speeds approaching 200mph. @mtlmtrsprtgrp published its outlook on social media yesterday and the sentiment throughout the garage was clear: they were all smiles for race week. Although its positive pre-Laguna Seca track testing, practice, and stellar qualifying pace didn’t fully translate into points, the team is confident that its time will come.’ This will be @daiyoshihara’s first stint at Mid-Ohio, but he’s already made some observations based on simulator testing. “The track is pretty short, but it seems very technical. I think the lap time difference will be small between us [and GS], so traffic will be another challenging factor.” Faced with a similar question, @karlwittmer got straight to the point, “Eyes on the prize.” The Yoshihara/Wittmer one-two punch currently sits 6th in the overall championship out of 22 total combatants, just 20 points shy of 5th. 📸: @theghostofmozart #PitandPaddock #MontrealMotorsportsGroup #IMSA #IMPC #FL5 #Motorsport #DaiYoshihara #KarlWittmer #MidOhio #MidOhioSportsCarCourse

👀 on the prize ~ See you soon @ctmpofficial 🇨🇦 📸 @theghostofmozart
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.

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.

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.
