Honda in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge competition took the team’s second top-five finish of the 2022 season at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
VGRT’s Victor Gonzalez and Karl Wittmer led the charge for Honda today in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge competition. Leading laps and taking the team’s second top-five finish of the 2022 season at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Gonzalez started the day in the #99 Honda Civic Type R TCR, utilizing pit strategy. As the team did to get their maiden victory in Sebring—to work his way to the front of the field. The #99 would lead a total of 11 laps before Gonzalez handed the car over to co-driver Karl Wittmer. Emerging from the pits in the eighth position. Wittmer would keep his nose clean and work his way up to fifth in the final lap of the race.
Finishing just behind the #99, in the sixth position, was the #73 Honda Civic Type R TCR entry from LA Honda World. Driven by Mike LaMarra and Ryan Eversley. Starting 11th, LaMarra quietly crept his way into seventh place, before being knocked off track by another car just before halfway. Sending the #73 machine for a wild ride through the Mid-Ohio grass.
LaMarra would immediately dive into the pits to hand over to co-driver Ryan Eversley. And give the team a chance to clean the grill of his Civic Type R TCR. Eversley would return to track in 11th and charge to a sixth place finish.
Two other Honda-powered machines did not see the checkered flag in today’s race. Honda WTCR driver Tiago Monteiro led the field to green in the Mid-Ohio 120 after qualifying on the pole in his return to US racing. However, Monteiro’s time up front would be short as the LA Honda World #37 Honda Civic Type R TCR was hit on the start, ending their challenge just a few corners into the race.
The #89 HART (Honda of America Race Team) Civic Type R TCR would suffer from a loose boost pipe before the race, as well as contact and compounding penalties in the early running and ultimately would not reach the final flag.
