Chevrolet still leads GTD PRO Manufacturers point standings
BOWMANVILLE, Ontario, Canada (July 12, 2026) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R finished fourth in the IMSA GTD PRO class in Sunday’s Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg drove to one spot outside the class podium while their teammates – Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims – finished ninth in class in the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R.
The result for the No. 4 Corvette was good enough to keep Chevrolet in the lead of the Manufacturers Championship points standings in GTD PRO, leading BMW by 47 points.
Giacomo Altoe and Casper Steveson, drivers of the No. 81 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for DragonSpeed finished 10th in the GTD class despite a mid-race, drive-through penalty for jumping a restart.
Matt Bell and Orey Fidani, drivers of the No. 13 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for 13 Autosport, finished 12th in class. Mason Filippi and Robert Wickens, drivers of the No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for DXDT Racing finished 13th in class. They lost time early in the pits when a throttle-return spring fell off during a stop and had to be repaired. When the car resumed in the race, it was two laps down.
The next IMSA event is the Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix from Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on Sunday, August 2. The six-hour race starts at 10:40 am CDT and will be streamed on Peacock and streamed on IMSA’s YouTube page (outside United States).

CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-QUALIFYING DRIVER QUOTES
ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “It felt like we couldn’t race anyone. If we had track position, we could have probably stayed there. We had a slow stop under yellow, which killed us. We lost three to four seconds and then leaving the box. From being P2 coming in, we left the box last and we lost all of the track position we had in qualifying. I think we had decent pace, but it feels like we cannot really race anyone. It’s difficult to pass. It’s super difficult. It’s impossible to pass. So, it’s difficult to do anything different to go forward. Once we’re stuck to that strategy, everybody kind of ran the same thing, so we couldn’t really do much more, unfortunately.”
ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “That was quite a frustrating day to be honest. The Corvette was working well. We had good pace, but everybody was on a fuel save in the first stint, and we couldn’t pass even when pushing. We didn’t have the speed in the right places, but the Corvette was very fast over a lap. Held position nicely in that first stint, and then then unfortunately in that first pit stop, we had a slow rear-left change that cost us track position when the field is so condensed pitting under yellow. And I think unfortunately that also impacted the No. 4 a bit as well. So, once we cycled back because of that with just one more stop to make in the race that was the situation we got stuck with. A shame for the Pratt Miller guys because we put in a lot of effort. The pace we showed in qualifying and in the race deserved better, but that’s where racing goes sometimes. You don’t get the result that you want. Got to take it on the chin and bounce back at Road America.”
