Mid-Ohio – Meyer Shank, victory or nothing

Back in the premier categoryIMSA, Meyer Shank Racing is not unworthy. Fourth in the 24 Hours of Daytona at the end of January for her debut with the Acura ARX-05, she took third place at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March.

A podium with a bitter taste, for the simple reason that the No. 60 of Olivier Pla-Dane Cameron-Juan Pablo Montoya could have won without a final refueling mess.

This weekend, it is on home soil, in Ohio, that the third round of the IMSA is being held, the first of the year offering a 2h40 sprint format. And what's better than a home race to unlock your victory counter?

« I can't wait to ride at Mid-Ohio, especially because it will be a first for me on this track, Olivier Pla said. But we had the opportunity to test here, so much so that I had the chance to learn the track, which I like. Third place at Sebring was a good result, but we want more. »

His teammate Dane Cameron, who scored two podiums on the Lexington circuit with the Acura ARX-05 (winner in 2019 and 2nd in 2018 with Team Penske), assures for his part that “ Mid-Ohio should be a place that will allow us to continue the momentum started by our Sebring podium. I know that the ARX-05 is at ease on this track, and I therefore see a good opportunity to score our first victory. »

The first free practice session is scheduled for today, Friday May 14, at 22:30 p.m. French time.
