Catching up with #Honda TCR drivers Karl Wittmer & Dai Yoshihara as they reflect on their recent podium, and preview today’s race at Road America! #PoweredByHonda // #IMSA // #CivicTypeR
We scored our second consecutive podium last weekend at the Road America 120! 🏆 Mercifully, this wasn’t @daiyoshihara’s first time around Road America. He got acclimated to the course during his single year in TC America competition and was eager to show what he could do in Michelin Pilot Challenge equipment. Saturday morning’s qualifying session gave him that opportunity and he seized it to the fullest; Yoshihara put the #93 Pit Paddock FL5 Civic Type R TCR on pole position for the afternoon contest. Compared to previous rounds, the Road America 120 got off to a smooth start. Yoshihara kept the lead in the early going, keeping the two Hyundais—Gottsacker in the #33 and Filippi in the #98—just under a second behind. The double yellow flags caused by track debris from the #92 Random Vandals Racing BMW M4 in GS were the perfect excuse for the field to dive into the pits. Yoshihara parked in his pit box at 1:13 and swapped driving duties with @karlwittmer while the #93 Pit Paddock FL5 Civic Type R TCR was treated to fuel and fresh tires. Wittmer came out of the pits in P8, with the #33 Hyundai crucially behind; however, our rival would have to pit shortly after to serve a penalty for leaving pit lane with fueling equipment still attached. With the white flag waving, the attrition began. Wittmer climbed up to P4 after #12 Lally ran out of fuel and onto the podium after Dupont in the #76 Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai—the race leader at the time—did the same. On a track that makes it difficult to conserve fuel, It was clear that a two-stop strategy was the right way to go. Wittmer crossed the finish line in P3, a sniff away from snagging P2 (0.3 seconds).
