The Alan Jay Automotive 120 at Sebring International Raceway concluded with all four BHA Hyundai Elantra N TCR's finishing inside the top-ten. A yellow flag fell 38 minutes into the two-hour race. Drivers are required to complete 40 minutes of the race to receive championship points. The caution period was just long enough that some teams chose to pit and complete their driver change, while others held on, creating a split strategy race.
 
Harry Gottsacker earned his ninth TCR pole and extended his own series record when he qualified first. Gottsacker had a strong start and led 14 laps in his stint. The #33 team finished third and jumped from 12th to fourth in the championship standings.
 
Preston Brown and Denis Dupont followed up their second-place finish in the season opener at Daytona with another top five at Sebring. They gained an impressive 10 positions to finish fourth and remain second in the standings.
 
Coming off a podium at Daytona and sixth at Sebring, Mason Filippi and Mark Wilkins' consistency keeps them third in the standings.
 
Taylor Hagler had her best qualifying result since joining BHA in 2021. She started fourth and ran strong until mid-race contact resulted in a punctured tire. Bryson Morris took over mid-race and recorded the fastest race lap en-route to their eighth-place finish.
 
Hyundais led 21 of 47 laps at Sebring resulting in a $2100 for the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Childrens Hospital by Hyundai Hope on Wheels (HHOW). HHOW has committed to donating $100 for every race lap led by a Hyundai in 2024.

#33 Elantra N TCR 2023 CHAMPIONS
Started: 1st Finished: 3rd 2024 Standings: 4th
 
Harry Gottsacker: "It was nice to grab another pole and lead 14 laps for Hyundai’s Hope on Wheels campaign and raise funds for Arnold Palmer's Childrens Hospital here in Florida. The strategy just didn’t go our way to get back up to the lead, but it was great to get a strong finish for the points. We are looking forward to another shot at executing a win at Laguna Seca."
 
Robert Wickens: "Not the result we were looking for after a really strong qualifying. Harry led most of the opening stint but an untimely yellow basically split the field 50/50 on strategy. It could have gone either way, but today we didn't get the breaks we needed. It felt good to get our season up and running but can't help but feel a little disappointed."
 
#76 Elantra N TCR
Started: 14th Finished: 4th 2024 Standings: 2nd
 
Denis Dupont: "We finished fourth. It's a decent place for the championship race, but I feel our race wasn't perfect and we'll want to correct those detials for the next round at Laguna."
 
Preston Brown: "Sebring was one of the closest TCR races I've participated in while racing in IMSA. While we had hoped for a higher finish, I'm happy with where we sit in the championship and I'm looking forward to the newly repaved circuit at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca."
 
#77 Elantra N TCR
Started: 4th Finished: 9th Standings: 8th
 
Taylor Hagler: "A disappointing end to an otherwise good weekend. The BHA team gave Bryans (Morris) and I as fast car and I am proud to have had my best qualifying result with Hyundai yet (4th). Unfortunately, our race did not go as planned as I battled for the lead and was not left with racing room. We will regroup and learn from this weekend as we prepare for our next race at Laguna Seca."
 
Bryson Morris: "It was a difficult race as we had unfortunate contact with another car which cave us a flat tire and caused us to go a lap down. On the bright side, our 77 Hyundai N TCR was very fast and allowed me to set the fastest lap of the race! Hopefully we can take that pace into Laguna Seca and have a great result there!"
 
#98 Elantra N TCR
Stared: 3rd Finished: 6th 2024 Standings: 3rd
 
Mason Filippi: "Sebring was all around a tough weekend for us, but Hyundai was able to raise money fro Hyundai Hope on Wheels by leading lots of laps and I'm proud that Mark and I contributed to that.Team 98 is stoked to bag some points and we are going to head into Laguna Seca seeking a win, just like last year."
 
Mark Wilkins: “A solid points scoring day for us on the 98 team, but certainly not the result we were looking for. The race didn’t pan out in our favour and we had to take what we could get points-wise. We’ll regroup and focus forward defending our win at our home race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in May”

March 17, 2024 

Sebring, Florida – The Vasser Sullivan No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 was victorious in Saturday’s Twelve Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway with drivers Jack Hawksworth, Ben Barnicoat and Kyle Kirkwood. The win marks the first for Lexus and Vasser Sullivan in the historic 12-hour event.   
 
Hawksworth led the GT field to the green flag on Saturday after earning the first Twelve Hours of Sebring pole position for Lexus and Vasser Sullivan in Friday’s qualifying session. He led the entire stint however following the first pit stop the No. 14 Lexus was accessed a drive through for a pit road procedure penalty. The trio of drivers was able to work their way back to the front of the GTD PRO field with a great strategy put in place by the Vasser Sullivan crew. They combined to lead 133 laps around the 17-turn, 3.74-mile road course en route to the program’s third endurance victory.
 
Hawksworth, Barnicoat and Kirkwood won the first endurance race for Lexus and Vasser Sullivan in the 2022 Petit Le Mans, and Hawksworth and Barnicoat won the 2023 Six Hours of the Glen last season. The driver trio finished second at Sebring just one year ago.  
 
Lexus and Vasser Sullivan also claimed a Sebring victory at the Florida road course in 2020 with Hawksworth and Aaron Telitz, winning a sprint event added to the IMSA schedule that year.
Parker Thompson, Frankie Montecalvo and Telitz finished 13th in the GTD class in Saturday’s race.   
Thompson started second in the GTD field and jumped into the class lead just after crossing the start-finish line to begin the race. The trio of drivers led 54 laps and ran in the top-10 the majority of the day however multiple racing incidents during the 12-hour event would relegate the No. 12 team to a 13th-place finish.
 
The Vasser Sullivan Lexus team returns to action on the Long Beach Street Circuit for the Grand Prix of Long Beach on Saturday, April 20.  To keep up with all the racing action, follow Lexus Racing on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok by using #LexusPerformance.
 
Vasser Sullivan Driver Quotes 
JACK HAWKSWORTH, No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 
Can you talk about how much of a battle it was out there at the end today?
“Yeah, it was. We knew it was going to be a battle. These long races, you have to do everything perfectly. Everyone has to do their job absolutely perfectly just to be there to even have a chance at the end. Then you just hope that the cards fall your way. As Ben (Barnicoat) touched upon, we had a tough day. But the team, we made good steps over the off-season. We wanted to come and show what we could do. This has been a proper bounce-back. Today everyone was perfect. We had the one obviously drive-through early in the race, a wobble there. Other than that, it was rock solid all day. The guys on pit lane were unbelievable. Ben (Barnicoat) and Kyle (Kirkwood) were absolute monsters out there. Yeah, we ended up in the fight there at the end. Come out on top. I couldn't be prouder of everybody on this Lexus and Vasser Sullivan team.”
 
BEN BARNICOAT, No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 
How much does it mean to the Lexus and Vasser Sullivan organizations to win the 12 Hours of Sebring?
“This is huge. Obviously huge for the organization. All the Lexus racing crew have been grinding, working so hard, looking for perfection year in and year out. I've been lucky to step in the program at such a good time. First year we got Atlanta with the Petit Le Mans win, which was incredibly huge. Last year we won Watkins Glen and then the championship. Now we ticked off Sebring. We’ve just got Daytona left to go.
We had a real rough start to this season, but that performance today showed why we were champions last year. That was definitely a champion's comeback and got our season well and truly back on track. We're looking forward to going from here.”
 
KYLE KIRKWOOD, No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 
What does it mean to win the 12 Hours of Sebring today?
“I've never been so nervous in my life watching a race car that you are part of go around a race track other than today. It got to the point where Ben (Barnicoat) and I would literally have to walk off the stand and not watch because of how nerve-wracking it was watching Jack (Hawksworth) absolutely send it on every single car that was out there. To be honest, we didn't really have the pace, the raw pace, at the end of the race. Jack just knew at every moment that he had a chance to pass somebody, he'd just send it in there and keep them behind him. It ended up paying off. It reminds me of our win at Petit. Similar situation to that. I couldn't ask for a better group of guys right here. Of course, the Vasser Sullivan and Lexus team as well. These two drivers right here, it's like you put them in the car, and they're automatic. They get in, they send it, do everything perfectly. I'm proud to be a part of this team.”
 
PARKER THOMPSON, No. 12 Lexus RC F GT3 
How are you feeling after the 12 hours of Sebring?
“The 12 car just needs a little luck because when I look back at this weekend. We did everything right. Unfortunately, the race didn’t fall our way. The Sebring 12 hours stands for me the craziest race that I’ve ever done, the second time in a row this year in 2024. We’ve got the Lexus RC F to win. We just need to piece it together and we need a little luck to do so. Things didn’t fall our way, but I couldn’t be prouder of our Vasser Sullivan team. We don’t give up and that was true all the way through the race. We kept digging all the way through and I’m proud of myself for not giving up. Three and a half hours in the car was definitely a challenge, but it’s nice knocking those boxes off. And, now as we’re about to start the sprint season, I’ve never been more confident in this group. They believe in me, and I believe in them and let’s go win some races for the 12. Congratulations to the 14 team on their GTD PRO win today!”
 
FRANKIE MONTECALVO, No. 12 Lexus RC F GT3 
How was your race?
“It was a good day. Congratulations to the 14 car for winning the Sebring 12 hour. It was a really great job and a team effort. We had a really good run going, we stayed upfront for a long time and everyone on this car did a good job. No complaints there. We’ll take this as another learning experience and continue working hard and getting ready as we go into Long Beach with our Lexus RC F GT3.”
 
AARON TELITZ, No. 12 Lexus RC F GT3 
How was your race?
“First of all, what an amazing day for this Vasser Sullivan team and Lexus winning the 12 Hours of Sebring with the 14 car. This is a massively historic race and a really huge deal for the brand and team to get a big win at another one of these endurance races. Congratulations to our teammates. On the 12 car side, we had some issues earlier in the race that just kept on developing as the race went on and really hindered our performance unfortunately, and we weren’t able to battle for the win. At least we finished this race so that’s a great step in the right direction for us. I’m looking forward to getting back with the boys at the Six Hours of the Glen and until then I hope they win a couple sprint races.”

Vincent Lalande and Matthieu Touin on their way to victory in the Rallye Perce-Neige. (Photo-Clément Tavernier/poleposition.ca)
By: Eastern Canadian Rally Championship
February 5, 2024 

The traditional Rallye Perce-Neige was presented this past weekend in Maniwaki, in the Upper Gatineau region of Quebec as the first round of the 20204 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC). Victory went to a driver new to the series and to performance rally competition in general, Vincent Lalande. At the wheel of a Subaru Impreza, the 16-year-old was co-driven by Matthieu Toupin and took home his first victory of the season ahead of all the anticipated favourites.

 

Motorcycle driver and road racer (in the Nissan Sentra Cup last year at the age of 15), Lalande negotiated the sometimes snowy, sometimes dirt covered in treacherous icy patches, with seeming mastery. He not only won the ECRC classification but also set a fastest stage time overall on Friday night, ahead of stars from the North American and Canadian championships.

 

He is certainly the revelation of this 2024 edition, thanks in part to the work of his co-driver Matthieu Toupin. In the end, Lalande/Toupin won by a margin of over one minute and fifteen seconds ahead of Sébastien Clark and Patrick Lévesque, also driving a Subaru. For Clark, this was a very promising result after a 2023 season plagued with mechanical issues.

 

The podium was completed by Olivier David and Simon Decosse, ahead of Gabriel Monette/Hughes Bergeron and winners of the 2023 Rallye de Charlevoix, Simon Vincent and Hubert Gaudreau. Behind the Quebec-dominated Top 5, Jonathan Drake and Ian Lantz had a very good start to the event before experiencing some issues with their Subaru RS STI. Two other Subarus rounded out the top eight with Simon Aube/Gabrielle St-Jacques (seventh) and Cédrick Tanguay/Layla Zigby (eighth).

 

The battle for victory in the 2-wheel drive class was intense until the very end of the ECRC portion of the event. Nicolas Laverdière and Marc-Olivier Lamontagne (Ford Fiesta Production 2WD) led until the final stage Friday night but a transmission problem prevented them from completing the rally. This gave the advantage to Hans Larose and Alexandre Pesant (Volkswagen Golf) who won the category, also finishing in ninth place in overall ECRC standings. On roads where dirt turned to icy in a matter of meters, bringing a 2-wheel drive into the Top 10 is a very good performance.

 

Rookies Frédéric Gagné and Alexandre Bessette, at the wheel of 2023 series champion Jean-Sébastien Besner’s Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, completed the ECRC Top 10 while the 2WD podium was completed by Charles L’Estage and Juliette L’Estage (Ford Focus SVT Production 2WD). Nephew and daughter of 10-time Canadian rally champion Antoine L’Estage, this series rookie duo impressed in their first-ever appearance at the event.

 

Mathieu Royer and Alyssa Voyzelle-Montminy (Nissan Sentra) finished third in the 2WD class. In total, 19 of the 22 teams registered in the ECRC finished the 2024 edition of the Rallye Perce-Neige. Antoine L’Estage amd Alan Ockwell (Ford Fiesta Proto R) won the overall classification (North American Rally Cup and Canadian Championship).

 

This season, the Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC) is comprised of nine rounds, spread out between Ontario and Quebec. The next event is the Shannonville Stages, taking place on April 6th in Ontario. 2024 will be the first year this event is part of the ECRC.

The 2024 Targa Newfoundland gets underway September 12 and concludes September 19.
By: Targa Newfoundland 
March 14, 2024 

Gander, Newfoundland – Targa Newfoundland, the only tarmac car rally in North America, will return to the streets of Gander this September for the 2024 edition of this exciting world-famous event.  
 
Targa 2024 will run during the edge of the tourist season from September 12 to 19, 2024, beginning with a two-day drivers’ school in St. John’s before heading out to explore other areas of the province. The Gander stage will take place late afternoon, Sunday, September 15th. 
 
“Gander was always a high point for participants in past Targa events,” said Targa President Joe Dowden. “We are delighted that council and residents are welcoming us back this fall. Our goal is to provide a safe and entertaining event for both competitors and spectators alike.” 
 
Since 2002, Targa Newfoundland has run 22 successful events composed of some 950 stages across the island of Newfoundland on scenic seaside roadways and through quaint towns and villages. This six-day event is motorsport’s ultimate road rally, attracting teams from all over the world to experience and enjoy the people, culture, and hospitality of one of North America’s most beautiful destinations. 
 
Targa is divided into four divisions for gas, electric and hybrid vehicles, including three competitive classes and one non-competitive touring division. Teams of drivers and co-drivers/navigators challenge themselves and each other racing the clock to achieve the best time and fewest penalties. The competitive sections of the stages are held on roads closed to the public.  
 
Teams will race on a closed course through a portion of Gander and stay two nights in the town, benefiting local hotels, restaurants and other businesses as well as shining a spotlight on Gander through media and social media attention. Spectators will be able to view the cars in action and at nightly car shows where they can mingle with the drivers and co-drivers.  
 
“The wonderful people of Gander have always given us a warm welcome and endeared themselves to the competitors,” said Targa founder Robert Giannou. “We’re excited to be back, and hope residents will come out in force to watch the rally, meet the racers and volunteer for the event so we have another successful rally.”

JS Besner & Yvan Joyal took the win in the season opener at Rallye Perce-Neige Maniwaki. (Photo-Clément Tavernier/poleposition.ca)
By: Eastern Canadian Rally Championship
February 8, 2023
 

Returning to its traditional date in the heart of winter, the Rallye Perce-Neige Maniwaki, held in the Haute Gatineau region of Québec, kicked off the Canadian national rally season this past weekend. Competing in the Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC) portion of the rally, this season-launching event was won by two-time series champion (2016, 2018) Jean-Sébastien Besner, in a Mitsubishi Evo Lancer. Co-driven by Yvan Joyal, the Montreal driver was consistent on the icy and snowy roads that made up this challenging rally.

 

Showcasing excellent speed while avoiding any mishaps, Besner and Joyal claimed victory by a margin of just over 2 minutes and 15 seconds over Simon Aubé and François Joanisse. At the wheel of their Subaru WRX STI, the novice team of Aubé and Joanisse passed the majority of the favoured and more experienced teams by finished second in ECRC and first amongst the novice competitors. Their performance in such a tricky rally contested on very difficult road conditions that left no room for error, demonstrates that this duo has a very promising season ahead of them. 

 

In addition to finishing in third place overall, Vincent Trudel, co-driven by Albertan Michael Szewczyk, also won the Production 4-Wheel Drive Class in a Subaru WRX STI. They finished with a slim lead of 25.8 seconds ahead of the Francophone-American Emmanuel Cecchet and his Quebec co-driver Jonathan Desgroseilliers, also in a Subaru WRX STI.

 

Back to rally competition after spending several seasons contesting the Nissan Sentra Cup, Simon Vincent’s rally-driving muscle memory didn’t take too long to kick in and bring him amongst the event leaders. Accompanied by his co-driver Hubert Gaudreau, Vincent was poised for victory in his Subaru WRX STI but losing 5 minutes on the ninth stage eliminated those hopes. The Vincent/Gaudreau eventually finished in fifth spot, 4 minutes and 54 seconds behind the fastest team.

 

The Top 6 in the ECRC overall standings was rounded out by Mathieu Leblanc and Éric Dubé.  In their Honda Civic, this team also won the 2-Wheel Drive Class. On the icy Perce-Neige roads, this class victory, coupled with their 6th place overall, is an excellent weekend for a two-wheel drive team. This result puts the team from Gaspé as the early favourites for the ECRC 2WD title. 

 

Finishing less than 5 seconds off the overall Top 6, Gabriel Monette and Danny Hudon (Subaru) ended in seventh, ahead of William Pardiac and Manuel Arsenault (also in a Subaru and second in Novice).

 

The ninth and tenth overall places went to the teams finishing in second and third in 2-Wheel Drive Class. After a tight battle, Mathieu Royer and Alyssa Voyzelle-Montminy beat defending class champion Kurt Duddy, co-driven by Matthieu Toupin. Both teams were contesting the event in Nissan Sentras.

 

At the start of this 57th edition of the Rallye Perce-Neige, the recorded temperature was -36 degrees Celsius. Despite these frigid temperatures, this year will go down as one of the least mechanically destructive in history. Only three of the 22 ECRC-registered teams couldn’t finish the event.

 

The Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC) consists of eight events this season, spread out between Ontario and Quebec. The next round will take place on Jun 10th, as part of the Rallye International de Mékinac, in Mauricie (Quebec).

 

The 2023 Rallye Perce-Neige also counted towards the North American Rally Cup and the Canadian Rally Championship. Quebeckers Alexandre Moreau and Ian Guité (Subaru WRX STI) claimed overall victory in those standings, ahead of Jean-Sébastien Besner and Yvan Joyal.
