Race-Proven Engineering in Action: The 2025 Chevrolet Grand Prix and CarBahn's Mission
The 2025 IMSA Chevrolet Grand Prix, held at the legendary Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) from July 11–13, was more than just a high-stakes weekend of professional racing. It was a powerful showcase of why elite motorsport remains the proving ground for performance technology along with why CarBahn’s commitment to race-tested engineering continues to elevate the BMW tuning experience.
At CarBahn, every product, tune, and upgrade is built on the same foundation that fuels the cars competing in IMSA: precision, innovation, and the pursuit of perfection. The action at CTMP only reinforced this philosophy.

Inside the Race: Championship Stakes and Precision at Speed
Located in Bowmanville, Ontario, the 2.459-mile, 10-turn CTMP circuit is renowned for its fast corners and elevation changes. This track demands total mastery from both driver and machine.
The 2025 Grand Prix marked Round 7 of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and every class brought intense competition. In LMP2, AO Racing’s Dane Cameron and P.J. Hyett secured a hard-fought victory, finishing just 1.087 seconds ahead of their nearest rivals. Their performance capped a run of dominance across three IMSA classes in 2025 (LMP2, GTD Pro, and GTD) highlighting the versatility and strength that true engineering excellence makes possible.
In the GTD Pro category, Aston Martin drivers Ross Gunn and Alex Riberas claimed victory, while the Mercedes-AMG GT3 teams maintained a stronghold in the GTD field. These results are more than statistics they’re case studies in how elite engineering translates to consistent performance under extreme conditions.

Why This Race Matters to the CarBahn Community
For CarBahn customers, BMW enthusiasts who demand more from their vehicles,the Chevrolet Grand Prix offers more than entertainment. It’s a reflection of the same engineering mindset behind CarBahn’s Stage 1 Performance Controllers, software-over-hardware tuning approach, and motorsport partnerships.
Real-World Performance Validation
The lessons learned on the track directly influence the products we develop. Just as IMSA teams meticulously calibrate every component to extract maximum performance, CarBahn’s engineers bring that same level of scrutiny and precision to every tune and upgrade for late-model BMWs. The result? Products that are fast, safe, and reliable, just like the race cars that inspire them.
CarBahn with Peregrine Racing: Racing with Purpose
CarBahn’s involvement in IMSA is not symbolic, it’s strategic. Through our ongoing partnership with Peregrine Racing, the #39 BMW M4 GT4 EVO has proven its performance in the highly competitive Michelin Pilot Challenge. These cars are not just race-prepped versions of road-going models, they are testbeds for the very tuning strategies and safety protocols we apply to customer vehicles.
What we learn at 150 mph on the back straight at Road Atlanta or in the tight corners of Laguna Seca is what makes our products work at 40 mph during your morning commute or 100 mph during a weekend track session.
Racing for a Greater Cause: Race for RP
CarBahn’s motorsport commitment also includes a partnership with Race for RP, a program dedicated to raising awareness and funding for autoimmune disease research. This adds a deeper dimension to our racing efforts, linking high-performance automotive engineering with high-impact purpose. Every time we hit the track, we’re also driving support for something greater.
