AO Racing’s PJ Hyett and Dane Cameron secured victory at the IMSA Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, a race that was cut short due to late drama and a caution.
Hyett, driving the #99 ‘Spike’ AO Racing Oreca LMP2, led from pole position, building a significant lead before a full course caution about an hour into the race.
Cameron took over driving duties during the caution and managed to maintain the lead as the race resumed with just over an hour left.
Despite strong competition from Tom Dillmann in the #43 Inter Europol Oreca LMP2, Cameron held onto the lead until the race was prematurely ended after Dillmann crashed.
In the GTD Pro class, Albert Costa and Giacomo Altoe of DragonSpeed clinched the victory with a clever fuel-saving strategy, marking the team’s first IMSA GTD pro win.
Wayne Taylor Racing’s Lamborghini, driven by Trent Hindman and Danny Formal, triumphed in the GTD category, overcoming an early spin to take the win.
