Two weeks after the race at Lime Rock Park, the ALMS crossed the border to Canada with a race at Mosport, Ontario. Victorious in Connecticut, Muscle Milk Pickett Racing will start from the front row. Klaus Graf (1'05 "871) will try to repeat his performance in order to consolidate first place in LM P1. Rivals, Dyson Racing with the Lola B12/60-Mazda had to settle for fourth place overall ranking, having been overtaken by both HPD ARX-03b Level 5 Motorsports Hondas entered in LM P2.

However, on the front row in the GT class is the Viper GTS-R SRT and Jonathan Bonarito with. This performance is not surprising since the Viper has improved steadily in pace since the beginning of the season and both cars crossed the finish line at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With a time of 1'15 "452, Bonarito was ahead of Jan Magnussen and the Corvette C6R ZR1 No3 less than two tenths behind. The fight will be hot in GT with no less than seven cars in the same second.

In LM PC pole went to No. 05, as in the previous round in Connecticut. With six cars in the same second, the race looks open, as in GTC. Although Jeroen Bleekemolen has risen to the top of the time sheets, the gaps are tight and it promise a good fight.

Tomorrow will begin with a warm-up of 25 minutes at 9:10 before the race of 2:45 starts at noon local time, 17:00 UK. To follow the live results, please visit the ALMS website.
