Chris Dyson and Guy Smith finished the accident shortened Grand Prix of Mosport fifth in LMP in their Castrol Mazda Lola after repairs from an on-track incident put them down the running order. “The car was quick, and at the end, was fastest it had been all weekend,” noted Smith.
Chris Dyson started the #16 entry from the back of the twenty-nine car grid after discovering two punctures after qualifying and the team elected to change all four tires. He was seventeenth after the first lap, eleventh on the second and sixth on the fourth. He passed David Brabham for third on the thirty-third lap and was second three laps later. On the fifty-fourth lap, a little more than an hour into the race, Dyson got pinched between two cars going into turn two and was...

Drayson Racing finished fourth overall in today's Grand Prix of Mosport. It was a dramatic day for the No.8 Drayson Racing Lola Coupé with Judd Power and for the whole of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) at Mosport International Raceway. A substantial accident red flagged the race with 29 minutes remaining and would take a yellow-chequered finish short of its scheduled two-hour and 45-minute distance as a result. Paul Drayson (Gloucestershire, UK) - who started the day's event from fourth place on the grid - and Jonny Cocker (Guisborough, Yorks, UK) finished fourth overall and in the Le Mans Prototype (LMP) class after a strong run by Jonny back through the field. In the process, Cocker set the race's fastest race lap with a time of one...

ORBIT / Paul Miller Racing dominated the GTC class in American Le Mans Series competition at Mosport International Raceway on Sunday, but a hit from a prototype car took the team's No. 48 Marquis Jet / GPR Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car out of the race.

Bryce Miller of Summit, N.J., started from the GTC pole position, after setting a class qualifying record on the 2.709-mile road course in Bowmanville, Ont. He led every lap through his 73-minute stint. Luke Hines of Essex, England, then took the wheel and increased the lead to 29 seconds. Just before the two-hour mark of the planned two-hour 45-minute race, a prototype car hit Hines, slamming him into the safety barrier. The race was red-flagged to attempt repairs to the barrier, but they could not be completed in a timely manner, so the race...

The historic and challenging Mosport International Raceway was no match for Muscle Milk Team CytoSport as the team topped off a perfect weekend with its third victory of the season.

Klaus Graf and Mosport teammate Romain Dumas led every practice and qualifying session, led every lap and nearly lapped the entire field.

The Muscle Milk squad came into the Mobil 1 Grand Prix of Mosport with revenge on its mind after a heartbreaking second place at Road America last weekend and the team's determination showed from the moment the Porsche RS Spyder rolled off the truck.

The team was proud of its performances leading up to the race, but it only had one objective in mind and that was to take the win on Sunday.

Not only did Dumas and Graf give Team...
