- Hyundai aims to extend its commanding lead in the 2025 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, following a strong podium finish at Watkins Glen
Hyundai Motor America is heading north to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) for the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park 120 race, ready to build on the automaker’s remarkably successful 2025 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge (IMPC) season. With a commanding lead in the IMPC Manufacturers’ Championship and a string of impressive finishes, Hyundai is set to tackle the demanding Canadian circuit.
Hyundai’s pursuit of a sixth-consecutive Manufacturers’ Championship has been exceptionally successful so far this year. This season has been marked by victories at Daytona and Sebring, a historic 1-2-3 finish at Laguna Seca, and a dominant 1-2 finish at Mid-Ohio. The most recent outing at Watkins Glen International saw Victor Gonzalez Racing’s No. 99 Hyundai Elantra N TCR, piloted by Eric Powell and Tyler Gonzalez, secure a hard-fought second-place podium finish. This strong result was reinforced by the third-place finish of the No. 98 Bryan Herta Autosport (BHA) Elantra N TCR piloted by Parker Chase and Harry Gottsacker, underscoring Hyundai’s resilience in challenging conditions. Hyundai remains firmly in first position in the IMPC Manufacturers’ Championship.
CTMP (formerly Mosport) hosts a 2.459-mile, 10-turn road course located near Toronto known for its high-speed sections and significant elevation changes. The circuit provides a unique test for both drivers and cars. Hyundai has a strong history at CTMP, having previously secured victories and podiums at this iconic North American venue. The Elantra N TCR has consistently demonstrated its durability and speed, making it well-suited for the rigorous demands of this track.
Hyundai’s strong contingent of Elantra N TCR cars will be on track, including the championship-leading BHA entries and the podium-contending Victor Gonzalez Racing cars. Drivers are eager to leverage the platform’s proven performance along with their collective experience to continue Hyundai’s championship momentum.
The Canadian Tire Motorsport Park 120 is scheduled for Saturday, July 12, with the green flag set to wave at 1:25 PM ET. Live race coverage will be available on Peacock.
