Road Atlanta caps off a season of highs and lows with our McLaren GT4 in IMSA

BRASELTON, GA — Sixth place in a series as competitive as IMSA's Michelin Pilot Sportscar Challenge should be an accomplishment to celebrate, and not a let-down. But after podim finishes at Daytona and Road America, we felt our GS program could close out the season with a high, bookending our history-making first place finish in January,

Virginia International Raceway once again delivered unsettled weather and unexpected results for both our WeatherTech Sprint Championship McLaren 720S GT3 and Michelin Pilot Challenge 570S GT4s.

We were pleased to support our manufacturer partner at this year’s Monterey Car Week and Pebble Beach. Our No. 76 Richard Mille McLaren 720S GT3 was featured at their base of operations, the McLaren Experience at Bernardus Lodge. Located adjacent to registration, our race car proudly displayed battle scars and race rubber marks earned during the Road America round of the IMSA Weathertech Sprint Championship.

Our full-season drivers – Paul Holton, Matt Plumb and Kuno Wittmer – and our Managing Director Jill Beck (along with two of our McLaren race cars) were the subject of a photo shoot for our sponsor and commercial partner, Richard Mille.

Elkhart Lake, WI – Our team proved their mettle once again by doing an overnight engine change on our No. 75 McLaren 570S GT4 on Friday night. Doing this swap is not the work of a moment, and requires the use of a car lift. Thankfully, the nice folks at Throttle Stop in Elkhart Lake were kind enough to loan us their shop for the evening.

The extensive amount of testing Compass Racing has been doing on the team's McLaren 720S GT3 is beginning to pay dividends as IMSA moves into the final few rounds of the WeatherTech Sprint Championship.

Compass Racing heads to its home race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park for the third round of the IMSA WeatherTech Sprint Cup championship. The Toronto-based squad looks to build on a solid start to the season at the Mid-Ohio and Detroit rounds. IMSA has given the team’s #76 McLaren 720S GT3 a positive balance of performance adjustment which the team hopes will help them in their quest for a podium. McLaren Factory Driver Paul Holton will once again be joined by Matt Plumb with sponsorship from Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Richard Mille.

Bowmanville, ON – “I’m absolutely thrilled to take another win at our home track here at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park,” enthused Compass Racing Team Principal Karl Thomson after the first race of the SRO America GT4 SprintX round on Friday. “This marks my second pro win at Mosport (the first coming with Billy Johnson in 2007), and it always means so much to stand on the top step with our friends and family in attendance."
