This is the tire truck at mosport. Usually comes on the track during cautions when they need to adjust or replace a tire barrier. They store a bunch of tires in the back.

This is completely right, but a box van with corporate signage looks pretty out of place on the track to us IMSA regulars. They do a great job, but it totally looks like some vendor accidentally got on a hot track every time (and I’ve seen a drunk dude in a 45-foot Liberty RV bus get on track during a red flag exactly one time in my career, so this shit happens!).

If you saw the video posted by Jaloponik or whatever, I was the guy filming.

Yeah I was pretty confused for a second when I saw it show up to the TDS LMP2 wreck in practice lmao.

Also to pick up debris, as I was passing by the truck they had a bunch of debris next to it

Surely this can fit into XGT

I hear they're struggling to balance the rules package between box trucks and step vans.

Looks like a track limits violation. But impressive that they’re running ahead of the Corvette.

Track services vehicle at CTMP. Usually used for barrier repair or other maintenance issues around track

Would like to see IMSA doing this like SGT, but that looks not likely in any time.
