Dillmann and Clarke Win Chevrolet Grand Prix at CTMP
Preserving Inter Europol’s season momentum, the result tightens the LMP2 championship to a 70-point gap with three races remaining.
Overview
- Inter Europol’s No. 43 Oreca driven by Tom Dillmann and Jeremy Clarke took overall victory at the Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on Sunday after starting from pole.
- The car led 93 of 127 laps and Dillmann made the decisive pass on Alex Quinn’s CrowdStrike by APR Oreca with about 1 hour and 14 minutes left, using traffic to help complete the move.
- Top teams surprised their drivers with late ‘splash’ fuel stops in the closing stages and those short refuels kept the running order intact for the podium finishers.
- The result reduced CrowdStrike’s championship lead to 70 points over Dillmann and Clarke with three rounds remaining and sets up the next big points opportunity at the six-hour Road America endurance round.
- The win doubles as a personal comeback for Dillmann, who fractured vertebrae in a throttle-failure crash at this same circuit in 2025, and it builds on Inter Europol’s multi-series LMP2 success this year including Le Mans and regional Le Mans Series wins.
