On the Mosport circuit took place this week-end the 6th meeting of the TUDOR SCCA championship. After having dominated both the GTLM and GTD qualifications taking the pole position in both classes, the Dodge Viper SRT took the victory in the GTD class and finished 2nd and 3rd in the GTLM one after a fantastic 2 h 45’ battle.

GTLM class: after having taken the 2nd and 3rd places two weeks ago at New York’s Watkins Glen, SRT® Motorsports recorded in Morsport their second-consecutive dual podium, the team’s third-ever dual podium result. This double – a second-place result by the No. 93 and third by the No. 91 Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R – also gave the team shared podiums in back-to-back seasons at the Canadian Mosport track. In both last year’s Mosport race and recently at The Glen, the No. 91 Viper of Dominik Farnbacher and Marc Goossens placed second while the team’s No. 93 Dodge entry with Jonathan Bomarito and Kuno Wittmer finished third.

Sunday’s event could have very well produced a Viper victory too as pole-winning driver Wittmer led the race’s first 41 laps. The Canada native was running up front and preparing to pit when he was run off course by a fellow GTLM competitor. Wittmer quickly recovered and returned to the track running second. Despite the incident and following the pit sequence, Bomarito maintained second place and chased down the eventual race winner through two stints, setting the fastest GTLM race lap in the process, but ultimately settled for second at the finish as time ran out in the two hours and 45-minute sprint race.

Farnbacher, who started the No. 91, quickly climbed to fourth from eighth during his opening stint after staring seventh. The German pitted in the same sequence as the No. 93 and his teammate Goossens took over and ran the entirety of the race’s second half en route to the third-place finish.

The Glen result came almost exactly a year after the team’s first double-podium finish at Mosport, which propelled the team to a summer surge that included their first win and six podiums over four races. With this year’s Mosport double coming on the heels of The Glen dual podium, the team has now tallied four podiums and one pole position over two events.

GTD class: the Dodge Viper SRT GT3-R win was the biggest part of a successful day at Mosport for SRT Motorsports. The No. 33 ViperExchange.com Dodge Viper SRT GT3-R of Ben Keating and Jeroen Bleekemolen won from the pole after a thrilling last-lap pass. This victory, the first one in the IMSA TUDOR Championship for both drivers, proves the very high performance and reliability levels reached by the Dodge Viper SRT GT3-R after its recent wins in the Supercar Challenge in Nurburgring and in the Pirelli World Challenge in Detroit.
