Dillmann, Clarke Win LMP2 Headline <b>Race</b> at CTMP

Inter Europol Competition claimed victory in Sunday’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP2 headline Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Tom Dillmann drove the No. 43 Oreca 07 Gibson to a 9.796-second win over the second-placed No. 04 CrowdStrike by APR entry of Alex Quinn in the two-hour and 40-minute contest that saw multiple strategies at play in all three classes. While Jeremy Clarke led from pole in the Polish squad’s LMP2 entry, a pair of early race full-course cautions saw the No. 04 CrowdStrike entry of George Kurtz briefly take the lead after staying out during the second yellow, which saw the majority of the runners pit for service. An alternate strategy for the No. 52 Bryan Herta Autosport with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports Oreca put FIA Bronze-rated Misha Goikhberg out front before pitting exactly at the halfway mark to change over to Ricky Taylor. The call, however, didn’t play out as Taylor was forced to make a full-service final stop with 42 minutes to go that dropped the Cadillac factory driver on loan to fourth, nearly 50 seconds behind. Quinn took over the lead when Goikhberg pitted, but was then passed by Dillmann for the lead with 1 hour and 14 minutes to go, where the Inter Europol entry remained out front for the duration. It marked Dillmann and the team’s second win at CTMP in three years, and also came in a redeeming run after a late-race mechanical failure sent Dillmann out of the race lead and to the hospital last year with fractured vertebrae. Inter Europol became the fourth different LMP2 winner in as many races so far this season. The No. 99 AO Racing Oreca of Dane Cameron and PJ Hyett, last year’s winners at CTMP, was third, which saw late-race stops for fuel top-ups for

CTMP Is Brichacek's House

BOWMANVILLE, Ontario — Wyatt Brichacek bounced back in a big way in the second of two 45-minute sprint races at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge season. From pole position, Brichacek – driving the No. 95 Toney Driver Development Ligier JS P325 – led the field of Le Mans Prototype 3 (P3) cars from the green. Unlike in Saturday’s first race of the weekend, he kept his position in column alignment past the starting line and proceeded to build a more than five-second lead until a full-course caution occurred mid-race for an incident by the No. 77 car exiting Turn 1. Once the race restarted, Brichacek was able to build a gap again to Oscar Tunjo, in his No. 1 Gebhardt Motorsport USA Inc. Duqueine D09. He won by 5.993 seconds. The win is Brichacek’s third in an IMSA LMP3 sprint race in 2026 (swept Circuit of The Americas two-race sprint in February in Toney’s No. 30 car), and fourth overall (won the two-hour IMSA Airbnb Endurance Challenge at COTA in May in the No. 95 car). “The TDD Ligier is amazing and it’s always on point,” Brichacek said. “It’s a bit unfortunate yesterday with what happened. We had the pace yesterday, but I’m glad we could show again that this is where we belong on top and it all worked out.” Brichacek has had a busy season racing both domestically and internationally in various sports car series. While not a direct championship challenger to Tunjo as he hasn’t raced all rounds, he’s certainly made his presence felt when he has been in the IMSA paddock. Tunjo was second, extending his championship lead. Bijoy Garg, the 2023 VP Racing Challenge LMP3 champion, finished third in the No. 30 Toney Ligier JS P325. Travis Hill of

Is Corsair Gaming (CRSR) Falling Behind As Premium <b>Sim Racing</b> Partnerships Steer The ...

- United States - / - Tech Hardware - / - NasdaqGS:CRSR Is Corsair Gaming (CRSR) Falling Behind As Premium Sim Racing Partnerships Steer The Market Narrative? - Recently, Fanatec announced a new licensing partnership with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. to develop officially licensed sim racing steering wheels that emphasize craftsmanship, ergonomic precision, and visual authenticity, while analysts downgraded Corsair Gaming on concerns about valuation, consumer demand, memory markets, and weaker global PC shipment forecasts. - This combination of an expanded premium sim racing offering via Fanatec and fresh questions about Corsair’s valuation frame a contrast between product ambition and investor caution. - Next, we’ll examine how the analyst downgrade, set against Fanatec’s Nissan partnership, reshapes Corsair Gaming’s broader investment narrative. This technology could replace computers: discover 26 stocks that are working to make quantum computing a reality. Corsair Gaming Investment Narrative Recap To own Corsair Gaming, you need to believe in its long term gaming and creator hardware ecosystem while accepting near term volatility in PC demand, tariffs, and margins. The recent analyst downgrade mainly reinforces existing concerns around valuation and slowing PC shipments, while the Fanatec Nissan licensing deal looks incremental rather than a major near term catalyst. The key short term swing factor remains how resilient upgrade and spending patterns are across PC gaming and peripherals. Among recent updates, the Fanatec Formula 1 licensing partnership is particularly relevant alongside the new Nissan deal, as both highlight Corsair’s push into higher end sim racing hardware. Together, they support the idea that premium, enthusiast focused categories could offset some pressure in more commoditized peripherals, but they do not directly resolve questions about overall demand, tariffs, or the pricing power implied by Corsair’s current valuation. Yet beneath the exciting sim racing headlines, investors should be aware that... Read the full

Zack Novak

Zack Novak Born: 12/27/2001 Hometown: Clinton, Conn. 7Total Wins 42Top 5's 61Top 10's Zack Novak, the 2019 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series champion, comes to JR Motorsports iRacing team as a championship contender, seeking a second title following his 2019 triumph. The 24-year-old Connecticut driver used a last-lap pass of Keegan Leahy in the season finale, giving him bookends on that season’s races. He had won the season opener and ended it with the champion’s trophy. The year before, in 2018, Novak earned the eNASCAR IGNITE title for drivers 18 and under, giving him two rings in national iRacing competition. This year, he comes to JR Motorsports, the team owned by NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. is an accomplished sim racer as well and features prominently in the development of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola Series from the start. In 2025, Novak made the Championship 4 again and raced for the title again, eventually finishing fourth among the contenders. This year, Novak’s sights are set on sealing the deal at season’s end. “It's an honor to be with JR Motorsports in this series,” Novak said. “I am so excited and thrilled and really just any word that I could use to describe being happy when I heard about the potential of this coming about. I talked to my family about it and they all agreed with me that, you know, this is just an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.” Winning a championship in a series as competitive as the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series takes a lot of time and effort, he said. “Winning a title at first is just a lot of hours and grinding,” he said. “You have to be very mentally involved. You can't really ever check out or anything like that. You have to be really in tune
