BOWMANVILLE, ON (July 13, 2014) – OAK Racing captured their first win of the season for the seventh round of the Tudor United SportsCar Championship at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. Olivier Pla and Gustavo Yacaman were behind the wheel of the No. 42 Morgan-Nissan LM P2 machine, which started on the pole position for the Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix that lasted two hours and 45 minutes.

This was the first time on the 2.459-mile circuit for the French team, but their second consecutive pole position this season. It also marked the first time racing at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park for Pla and Yacaman. With four races remaining in the 2014 season for the Prototype class, OAK Racing is still in the fight for the championship title.

“Today is a great victory for OAK Racing,” said Philippe Dumas, Team Principal. “I am so happy for Gustavo (Yacaman) and Olivier (Pla). It was not easy, but it was a perfect weekend. It is not a small victory to land on the podium, but rather a great, great victory. We will keep fighting for the championship during the remainder of the season.”

Gustavo Yacaman took to the wheel first. He qualified the No. 42 car in the first position with a best lap of 1:09.167, which was the first pole of his career.  The Colombian maintained the race lead throughout his entire stint, before coming in for a pit stop and driver change with one hour and 12 minutes remaining in the race.

“I am very happy,” said Yacaman. “The team did a great job and all of the pit stops were perfect. The car was perfect and we came here to do our job of keeping our nose clean in traffic and we were able to pull off this win. The win is for everyone at OAK Racing for their hard work and their determination in showing what they can do.”

Frenchman Olivier Pla took over for the remaining second half of the Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix. He was able to maintain a dominate lead throughout the remainder of the race. In addition, he set the fastest lap time of the race at 1:11.308.

“It was a perfect race from beginning to end,” said Pla. “The car was great and the strategy was great. The team has done a fantastic job the whole season to understand the car and tires. I could not be more excited to have won the race. Gustavo (Yacaman) did a wonderful job at the beginning of the race to keep a gap to the next car.”

OAK Racing moves onto the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway next for the Brickyard Grand Prix from July 24-25.
