Dillmann & Clarke Win at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park

Tom Dillmann and Jeremy Clarke drove the No. 43 Inter Europol Competition ORECA LMP2 07 to an LMP2 class win at the Chevrolet Grand Prix, securing the overall victory for their team at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. George Kurtz and Alex Quinn finished second in the CrowdStrike Racing by APR entry, while Dane Cameron and PJ Hyett’s AO Racing ORECA took third place on the podium. It marked the second class triumph for the No. 43 car, their first victory since the Twelve Hours of Sebring in March 2025.

Dillmann earned his third IMSA class victory, and Clarke collected his second at the venue. The LMP2 field has seen four different winners in the last four races dating back to last year’s season finale, highlighting the depth of competition. This rotation suggests that any team can break through with strong performance as the season progresses.
