  • Imsa Weekend at Mid- Ohio
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN DELIVERS ACROSS THE BOARD AT IMSA WEEKEND AT MID- OHIO Lexington, Ohio. (September 27, 2020) – Michelin engineers headed into the Acura Sports Car Challenge knowing the importance of providing tires that deliver on all counts at one of the most technical circuits of the 2020 IMSA season, the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. After Michelin’s busiest race weekend of the year to mark the midway point, with four total races and more than eight hours of race time featuring 17 automotive brands, the results were successful across the board. “We recognize Mid-Ohio as one of the most technically demanding circuits of the IMSA season with its mix of fast and slow corners, heavy braking zones, elevation changes and a critical need to put power down on acceleration. To do that while delivering consistent performance and extended tread life is the type of challenge that provides us the ability to deliver outstanding tires for our consumers,” said Tony Ménard, director of motorsport, Michelin North America. “The challenge for Michelin is to not only produce that level of performance for one car or one team, but to deliver that performance across the board, to all of the manufacturers and teams that make IMSA competition popular and widely respected. “Seeing records set and double stints run allowed the teams to focus on their race strategy. Seeing 11 different car makers take podiums and so many different combinations of chassis perform so well is very gratifying.” WeatherTech Race Notes Acura (DPi) and Lexus (GT Daytona) continued their streak of “three-peats” at Mid-Ohio.

  • 2019 IMSA MICHELIN Pilot Challenge Road America 120 #21 Harry Gottsacker and Mason Filippi #98 Mark Wilkins and Michael Lewis
    2019 IMSA MICHELIN Pilot Challenge Road America 120 #21 Harry Gottsacker and Mason Filippi #98 Mark Wilkins and Michael Lewis Filippi and Gottsacker Score Another Victory for Hyundai in Wet and Wild Road America 120 A lightning storm delayed, then shortened the Road America 120, followed by intermittent rain and wild track conditions, but nothing could stop young guns and Mason Filippi and Harry Gottsacker from a perfect race, which resulted in their first IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge victory. Over an hour-long weather delay shortened the race from 120 to 75 minutes, but it was worth the wait for the BHA crew. With quiet skies but potential for rain still looming, Mason Filippi and the #21 crew gambled and chose to start the race on slick tires. The Road America racetrack is over four miles long, conditions and weather can be different from one section to the next. In addition, it was Filippi’s first time racing at the legendary road course, he had his work cut out for him. The green flag dropped and Filippi, who qualified sixth, dropped to 13th in the opening laps as the still wet track was like an ice rink under his slick tires. He briefly chased the field and then as the dry line developed, Filippi patiently and precisely used his slick tires to work his way through the competition. Strategy became the challenge, as each driver is required to complete 25 minutes of drive time in the race. That coupled with an abbreviated race and heavy rains once again looming on the radar meant that Kyle Compton, lead engineer of the #21 Hyundai Veloster N TCR, determined Filippi would stay on track until the rain returned.

  • Historic Supersebring Weekend Highlights Michelin’S Commitment to Two Global Sports Car Championships
    PRESS INFORMATION HISTORIC SUPERSEBRING WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS MICHELIN’S COMMITMENT TO TWO GLOBAL SPORTS CAR CHAMPIONSHIPS The biggest crowd in Sebring International Raceway history packed the historic Florida race circuit for an extraordinary week that was properly billed as SuperSebring and became the largest event in Michelin Motorsport history. Called upon to support four championships, including the prestigious FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech Championship, and 137 of 140 entries, Michelin responded with a massive 24,000 square foot tent housing 16,000 tires, 55 engineers and motorsport tire specialists, and a 42-person tire mounting center staff. “With 20 different automotive marques, and so many outstanding teams, and drivers it was a great responsibility to provide the tires and technical support to help the teams perform at the highest possible level,” said Matthieu Bonardel, Michelin director of motorsport. “Sebring is the birthplace of American endurance racing and a technically demanding circuit. The tremendous number of fans provided us the opportunity to engage with them and share their passion for motorsport. They inspired everyone to perform at the highest possible level every lap.” By the end of Saturday’s 67th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, Michelin teams had recorded 30,803 laps, or more than 127,234 miles, of the fast and bumpy 3.74 mile, 17-turn Florida circuit throughout the weekend in a wide range of conditions. The resulting data and insights are invaluable in the development of future products. Consistent and Versatile… Day and Night After Thursday’s IMSA Prototype Challenge and the IMSA MICHELIN Pilot Challenge on Friday afternoon, Friday evening’s 1,000 Miles of Sebring was the first of the two bill-topping races of this weekend’s double-header at the famous American circuit.

  • Michelin Celebrates Vir's Present, Future in 2019
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN CELEBRATES VIR’S PRESENT, FUTURE IN 2019 MICHELIN GT CHALLENGE Through challenging conditions, teams in three IMSA series excel with MICHELIN® slicks and wets at VIRginia International Raceway Alton, Va. (August 25, 2019) --- Michelin and the International Motor Sports Association returned to the VIRginia International Raceway for the Michelin GT Challenge at VIR and delivered an impressive array of stunning cars and top driver talent in a weekend featuring production car-based GT competition. Between the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and yesterday’s IMSA MICHELIN Pilot Challenge there were 15 different automotive brands in competition at VIR this weekend. “At 3.27 miles, with 17 turns and significant elevation changes, VIR is a great circuit and its technical demands present a robust challenge for teams, drivers and tires. We enjoy the technical challenges, and meeting so many sportscar fans,” said Chris Baker, director of motorsport, Michelin North America. “Each race on the IMSA schedule has its own personality and VIR is the ‘back to where you came from’ relaxed, friendly, family atmosphere in a beautiful facility that make it a favorite for fans and teams. “We should recognize IMSA, VIR track promoter Connie Nyholm and her team, our Michelin team, and the fans for making the Michelin GT Challenge at VIR a place where new fans are being introduced in a way that many of us were introduced to the sport.” Ironically, the VIR event almost didn’t happen. One of the first tasks facing the leaders of IMSA following the merger of the former American Le Mans Series and the GRAND-AM Rolex Series was to create a consolidated schedule for the first post-merger season in 2014.

  • Unitronic Audi Sweeps Weekend Racing at Home
    Unitronic Audi Sweeps Weekend Racing at Home JDC-Miller Motorsport drivers Taylor and Casey recover from going one lap down to take a last gasp victory at home for title partner Unitronic and Out There Brands. Taylor qualified the Unitronic No.17 Audi RS 3 LMS on pole with a lap time of 1.23.975. Five tenths of a second clear of the next TCR competitor, and an astonishing seventh overall out of a field of 38 cars. The race started out just as planned with Taylor stretching out a multi second lead and maintaining it for his lengthy 1 hour and 10 minute stint. Bringing the car into the pit lane 11 seconds clear of the next TCR car on track. During the driver change the duo experienced multiple issues, including the fire bottle going off inside the car covering the interior with the powdered substance, making it extremely difficult for Casey to see as he left the pit box and drove over some pit equipment resulting in a drive through penalty. “It was like a calamity of errors during our stop, and we’re definitely going to need to work on them. First I came in a little past the marks, then the fire bottle went off inside the car, so we were distracted and forgot to plug in Britt’s radio, and lastly we didn't move the tire out of the way out, so Britt got a drive through for running over equipment. I thought it was all over for us then.” said Taylor. With 45 minutes remaining, Casey was able to drive the car from one lap down in eighth position to fourth and knew he had the speed for a podium.
