While drivers are heading into the off-season, many teams are already looking forward to the 2027 season. With the full schedule being announced earlier this year, one of the most notable changes is the return to Lime Rock for the Michelin Pilot Challenge. It has been quite a few years since the last time IMSA has raced at the fan-favorite track and many drivers are looking forward to the return! 

Montreal Motorsport Drivers LP Montour and Karl Wittmer are two drivers weighing in on the return to Limerock. While this will be the first time Montour will be driving there, Wittmer is excited for the return. “I love it, It’s nicknamed Bull Ring for a reason, right?… It’s like high pace, high octane, and the fans are great”
