Louis-Philippe Montour, driving the #13 Kamloop<\/a> | GL electric-automation<\/a> car prepared by Dumoulin Competition, will be on track for the first time at the Honda Indy Toronto this Friday, July 15. The 2.8 km urban layout wraps around Exhibition Place and will also host the NASCAR Pinty’s Series, as well as the IndyCar and several other series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This will be my first race on the Toronto street. I’m looking forward to this event,” said Louis-Philippe Montour. The Blainville native is familiar with the NASCAR Pinty’s Series after driving a well-planned and error-free race through the pack, from a 21st<\/sup> starting position to a 5th<\/sup> place finish in last May’s Pinty’s event at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP).<\/p>\n

“Dumoulin Competition continued to work on the car so that we would be ready for our second event of the season,” added Louis-Philippe Montour. “Following the result of my last race at CTMP, I am confident that we will start the coming race with a front-running car.”<\/p>\n

As the track is unfamiliar territory to him, Louis-Philippe Montour will be conservative at first to familiarize himself with the layout. Friday morning’s combined practice \/ qualifying session, lasting 1 hour and 20 minutes, will force the teams to work out the best possible race as well as qualifying and end-of-race set-ups, while having to decide on tire selection (new or used) for different phases of the session and the race. The complex decisions taken by the teams and the skills of the drivers to adapt to changing track and car handling conditions will also determine the outcome of the race.<\/p>\n

“My goal is to finish in the top 5. We have the car and the team to get there. We’ll just have to manage our brakes and tires, be patient, and attack in the last 10 laps,” concluded the driver of the #13 Kamloop | GL electric-automation car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to the event, fans will have the opportunity to meet the NASCAR Pinty’s drivers during an autograph session at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Dumoulin Competition can count on Kamloop’s support to keep the team healthy throughout the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the on-track partnership, Louis-Philippe Montour and Dumoulin Competition also work together on the team’s logistics. In fact, Kamloop products will allow the team to optimize the food-related processes and provide even fresher nourishment during the events. You can read the full article here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
