Round 4 is here, and we're officially halfway through the 2026 GLTC season. It's been a year of highs and lows—from opening the season with mechanical issues, to a perfect weekend at Road Atlanta, to battling setup challenges at Gingerman. Now it's time to take on the legendary Watkins Glen International as we fight for another strong finish.
The last time we raced at Watkins Glen, the weekend was completely soaked. Every session was run in heavy rain, making the racing treacherous and preventing us from gathering meaningful setup data. As a result, this is effectively our first opportunity to properly develop the Super Touring Civic at this circuit under dry conditions.
We'll also be carrying an additional 138 pounds of success weight into the weekend, but we're optimistic that the high-speed nature of Watkins Glen will minimize its impact compared to Gingerman. If we can dial in the car's balance, this track should suit our package well. We'll also be starting the weekend on a fresh set of tires, giving us the best chance to find speed early—assuming the weather cooperates.
