Hattori Motorsports has been declared the winner of Saturday’s IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park after the No. 95 Turner Motorsport BMW M4 GT4 was assessed two penalties following post-race technical inspection.

The Robert Megennis and Cameron Lawerence-driven BMW was found to have a refueling time less than the minimum permissible and also found to be under the minimum allowed weight.

The penalties moved the car to the rear of the 24-car GS finishing order and advanced the No. 50 Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO co-driven by Parker Thompson and Billy Johnson to the race victory.

It marks the first Pilot Challenge win for Toyota and made Hattori Motorsports a winner in its series debut.

Thompson also claimed victory in his series debut while it was the 24th for Johnson, making him the winningest driver in Pilot Challenge history.

The No. 71 Rebel Rock Racing Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R of Robin Liddell and Frank DePew have now finished second, with the No. 19 Van der Steur Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT4 rounding out the top-three.
