Karl Wittmer and Daijiro Yoshihara will join Montreal Motorsport Group in the TCR class in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge next season.

The two drivers will pilot the No. 93 Honda Civic Type R TCR next year, while the second car will be shared by Louis-Philippe Montour and Bryan Ortiz.

“I’m incredibly excited to be driving with MMG in 2024 in the #93 FL5 Honda Civic Type R and to be joined by Dai Yoshihara,” Wittmer said.

“I can’t wait to get started in Daytona and compete for the IMSA TCR championship.

“This marks my 14th season driving a Honda product, and I couldn’t be happier about this ongoing relationship.”

Yoshihara, meanwhile, is a Japanese driver with multiple achievements in Time Attack and drifting to his name.

“2023 was my first full season of professional road racing,” he said.

“I love the wheel-to-wheel competition, and I look forward to my debut in the IMSA series alongside an experienced team and back in a Honda.

“Karl has been an integral part of easing me into this form of racing, and I’m excited to continue our partnership in 2024 and a new challenge.”
