Next weekend, the LMP2 class will be the highlight of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. This clashes with the World Endurance Championship race in Brazil, allowing GTP drivers a unique chance to participate in the LMP2 field. Four GTP drivers will substitute in the 12-car LMP2 field, racing on the 2.459-mile road course for the first time since 2019. In total, there are 35 entries across the LMP2, GTD PRO, and GTD categories.
Notable GTP drivers in the LMP2 category include Renger van der Zande, Filipe Albuquerque, Pipo Derani, and Louis Deletraz. Points leaders Gar Robinson and Felipe Fraga are heading the standings for Riley Motorsports, closely followed by Era Motorsport’s Ryan Dalziel. GTD PRO points leaders Laurin Heinrich and Seb Priaulx are aiming to bounce back after a challenging weekend at Watkins Glen.
Heart of Racing will feature substitutes Mario Farnbacher and Spencer Pumpelly in the GTD PRO and GTD entries, respectively. With a competitive field and intriguing driver lineups, the upcoming race at CTMP promises to deliver exciting competition and thrilling action.
