Kuno Wittmer’s racing career took him from regional touring cars to the top level of sports car racing in North America, where he experienced success in marquee IMSA events. Wittmer won the Quebec Sedan GT championship in 2002, before winning the Canadian Honda Michelin title in 2005. He then shifted his efforts south of the border, where he finished runner-up in the SCCA World-Challenge Touring Car class in 2008.
Wittmer started racing in ALMS and Grand-Am in 2012 and 2013, before achieving new levels of success in the newly-merged IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. His team recorded victories at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (road course) and Circuit of the Americas en route to winning the GTLM class championship in 2014.
Wittmer switched to GTD in 2015, scoring the class win in the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona. He ran limited events in IMSA over the next several seasons, where he recorded the GTLM class victory in the Petit Le Mans, at Road Atlanta, in 2017. His sports car schedule included a variety of series and events during that span, where highlights included a runner-up finish in the SCCA World-Challenge GT3 class in 2016, a runner-up finish in the 2018 24 Hours of Nurburgring, and an IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge series victory at Daytona in 2021.
Away from the driver’s seat, Wittmer has served as mentor and coach to over 25 drivers, teaching safety, speed and how to overcome obstacles. He’s also helped with multiple street driving clinics for young drivers and has assisted McLaren, BMW, Chrysler, Honda and Acura with development of street car technology.
