Brothers Kuno and Nick Wittmer were back in action in their I-Moto Acura at Mid-Ohio racetrack last weekend with their usual codrivers, Peter Cunningham and Glen Bocchino.
After qualifying both cars in 11th and 12th places, Peter and Glen took the green flag for the first stint. Peter charged hard through the field and gave Kuno a third place car while Glen had a little encounter with another car that changed his handling and used a full course caution to hand Nick an 8th place machine.
A few laps later, the skies opened and they had to switch to rain tires. They started reeling in the front runners until they were in second and third place.
Kuno remained second while Nick had to settle for fifth when the handling gremlins haunted him as the tarmac was drying again. With his second podium this season, Kuno is now within 10 points of first place in the standings while Nick lies 6th overall.
It will now be two weeks before the Wittmer brothers are back in their I-Moto cars at the Glen in Upper New-York for the fifth round of the Koni Challenge.
But Kuno will have to sit another month before he heads back to Mid-Ohio again to steer his #44 Realtime Acura in the SCCA Speed World Challenge.
"I will take some time to relax somewhere on holidays where there are no racetracks!, smiled the 25 year-old. I also have a double header coming in a few weeks with Lombardi Honda Racing at the new facility called ICAR just north of Montreal on Mirabel airport."
