Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr captured a third straight win at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) this past weekend, coming first in both the overall and P1 standings aboard their Muscle Milk Pickett Racing HPD ARX-03a.
Graf and Luhr left Dyson Racing's Guy Smith and Chris Dyson nothing but the runner-up spot, so clean and decisive their race was. Only a penalty for too many men over the pit wall during a pit stop and a ankle injury to Luhr slowed them down.
But not enough.
In the GT class, Flying Lizard's Patrick Long and Jörg Bergmeister drove their Porsche 911 GT3 RSR to a second straight win, but failed post race checks. The team has launched a protest that should be heard later this week.
This left Extreme Speed Motorsports' Johannes van Overbeek and Scott Sharp with a first win this season. Following the same logic, Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia, who had their Corvette Racing Corvette C6 ZR1 in third place at the finish, were rewarded with second.
In P2, Conquest Racing's Martin Plowman and David Heinemeier-Hansson took their first win of the season over Level 5 Motorsports' Christophe Bouchut and Scott Tucker.
RSR Racing's Bruno Junqueira and Tommy Drissi drove to a first win of their own (as a pairing) in the LMPC class, where as in GTC, the spoils went to a familiar TRG team, back-to-back winners at the CTMP, thanks to the performance of Spencer Pumpelly and Emilio Di Guida.
