  • Michelin Helps Imsa Deliver Fast, Close Racing at the Glen
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN HELPS IMSA DELIVER FAST, CLOSE RACING AT THE GLEN Mazda, Porsche, Acura Prevail in “Cool” Watkins Glen Watkins Glen, N.Y., June 30, 2019 --- Michelin marked the midpoint of its first season as the Official Tire of IMSA as it has since the outset, by working closely with manufacturers, teams and drivers to help them deliver incredibly close competition and another batch of new records. The combined margin of victory in the three premier IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship classes was just 1.48 seconds after six hours of racing at the historic 3.4-mile Watkins Glen International circuit. While last year Michelin recorded track temperatures in excess of 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest of the season, this year cooler temperatures prevailed. A weekend of extremes in temperatures, which reached 117 on Friday eventually ceded to a cool race day at the smooth, fast, high energy, high-load circuit where the race day track temperature topped out at 82 degrees. The weekend also saw a popular new overall winner with Mazda Team Joest scoring a long overdue maiden DPi victory. Learning and Growing Into Second Half of 2019 To kick off the second half of the season, Michelin brought its semi-confidential IMSA Hard compound tire for its debut in DPi/LMP2, the top two classes of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Meanwhile the WeatherTech GT Daytona and IMSA MICHELIN Pilot Challenge GS class cars raced with the MICHELIN® Pilot® Sport GT S9M hard compound commercial slicks for the first time in 2019. The hard compound tire is tuned specifically for circuits where drivers traditionally encounter the highest loads and track temperatures of the season.

(January 23, 2018) – In any circumstance, the Rolex 24 at Daytona is the biggest challenge teams racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will face. Straight out of the gate the teams are faced with the longest race of the season at the first race. For Mazda Team Joest, there is the added complexity of competing for the first time in the endurance racing classic. While both Mazda Motorsports and Team Joest have competed and won at Daytona before, the 2018 race is the first time that the two brands will race under the same tent. And when the green flag drops on Saturday afternoon at Daytona International Speedway, the re- engineered Mazda RT24-P DPi will do battle in one of the deepest fields of Prototype competition in recent memory. Mazda has celebrated class victory at the Rolex 24 at Daytona 23 times. To add to that tally, Mazda Team Joest has assembled a diverse lineup of driver talent made up of Mazda Road to Indy alumni and endurance racing specialists with experience from Joest Racing. In the No. 55 Mazda RT24-P DPi, Jonathan Bomarito and Harry Tincknell will contest the entire season and will be joined by Spencer Pigot at Daytona.
