TROIS-RIVIERES, Quebec, Canada (August 2007) -- Team i-MOTO drivers Nick Wittmer and Kuno Wittmer (piloting the #31 Acura TSX) crushed the competition from start to finish at the Grand Prix De Trois-Rivieres (GP3R) race. Nearly leading every lap, Nick Wittmer rocketed away from the field from pole position. He quickly opened up to a five second lead in the race's first lap and both Nick Wittmer and Kuno Wittmer led by nearly 30 seconds at times throughout the race. They lost the lead only briefly during scheduled pit stops and led all but four of the race's 93 laps. Kuno Wittmer crossed the finish line 28.446 seconds ahead of the No. 76 Kensai Racing Acura TSX of Billy Johnson and Karl Thomson. Third place went to the No. 95 Turner Motorsport BMW 330i of Adam Burrows and Trevor Hopwood.
