LOUIS-PHILIPPE DUMOULIN NINTH AT NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY

september 21, 2019

NASCAR Pinty's Series - September 21, 2019

Team #47 WeatherTechCanada | Groupe Bellemare found itself in New Hampshire with the firm intention of ranking among the leaders. If the weekend did not start as he had hoped, Louis-Philippe Dumoulin was able to manoeuvre strategically to climb up the field and cross the finish line in ninth position.

Louis-Philippe Dumoulin and team #47 WeatherTechCanada | Groupe Bellemare attacked the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) high-speed track during Friday morning's tests with a car prepared according to the lessons learned during their first visit here last year. The team quickly discovered that the ambient and track conditions produced a different result. Corrections to adjust out last year's understeer produced serious oversteer that limited their performance.

"We have tried everything to eliminate the excessive understeer with mixed success, because changing the settings requires adaptation to my driving, which takes several laps of the track while the mechanical work and subsequent testing limits the time to really solve a major problem during our short practice session. We also worked on the car during our pit stops and the car became good again with 40 laps to go. I was then able to climb up the field and finish ninth in the end. We have been trying different configurations since the St-Eustache race to ensure a competitive performance for Jukasa," explains the driver of car #47 WeatherTechCanada | Groupe Bellemare.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway: Thank you all for the hospitality and the effective running of the event. THANK YOU to all the Canadian and American supporters for your encouragement. It is always a pleasure to meet you at the track.

Last race of the season: Jukasa Motor Speedway (Hagersville, Ontario - September 28, 2019). The team is working hard to prepare the #47 WeatherTechCanada | Groupe Bellemare car for the last race of the 2019 season at the Jukasa Motor Speedway oval. Join us for what promises to be an exciting final to determine the 2019 Pinty's Champion.
