Louis-Philippe Dumoulin and the #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare team are excited to return to the legendary Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport) track this weekend. With his roots firmly planted on road courses, Louis-Philippe Dumoulin is aiming for a fifth win on this track where success has come to him several times in the past.

The distribution of five road course events, one dirt and seven paved oval races demonstrates the versatility of our Canadian drivers and teams. The two annual NASCAR Pinty's Series visits to the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) are highly anticipated by classic road course fans. The balanced mix of slower (technical) corners, fast corners, elevation changes and a long straightaway are a treat for both spectators and drivers.

"I've loved racing at this quick track ever since I won the Canadian Formula 1600 championship in 2002, based mostly at Mosport! I come back to CTMP year after year for the pleasure of driving there and to further develop my technical knowledge, as the decisions taken when setting up the #47 WeatherTech Canada | Groupe Bellemare becomes more and more complex," explains the driver with enthusiasm.

Louis-Philippe Dumoulin knows how critical pit stop strategy is on the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park road course. "On the track, CTMP is very, very fast. You have to take advantage of momentum because everything happens at high speed. It's a track that's like me. For the spectators, it's quite a show and for the drivers, it's a challenge," concluded the defending champion.
