Travis Hill and Ryan Dalziel to Share Era Motorsport LMP2 at Chevrolet Grand Prix

Era Motorsport is excited to welcome Bronze-rated driver Travis Hill for his debut with the team, sharing the No. 18 Shopify-backed Oreca 07 LMP2 with Ryan Dalziel at this weekend’s Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP), part of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

The Canadian sports car racer is stepping in for Era’s Tobias Lütke, who is unable to race at CTMP due to a scheduling conflict. Hill was a natural choice for the role, having developed alongside Lütke behind the wheel, sharing TCR, Radical and LMP3 machinery at TWOth Autosport, the team Hill co-owns with his brother, Trevor.

In the car, Hill will be joined by longtime Era Motorsport driver Ryan Dalziel, who returns to the LMP2 car for the first time since this year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona. The former IMSA and WEC champion has spent much of 2025 competing with Era in the Ferrari 296 GT3 as part of the Creventic 24H Series.

The Chevrolet Grand Prix is a special event for the LMP2 class as it’s not only the first sprint round of the year, but it’s also the only race on the calendar where LMP2 is the headlining class, giving them a rare chance at an overall victory.

The No. 18 Era Motorsport Oreca 07 LMP2 will take the green flag at 2:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 13, for a two-hour and 40-minute race around the 2.459-mile (3.957 km) Canadian Tire Motorsport Park circuit.

“I first started karting at Mosport back in the late 90’s. To follow this journey through to this point is a thrill of a lifetime. We have some incredible development programs, racing series, teams and fans here in Canada. I’m proud for the chance to represent them and all of our partners on the big stage this weekend.

"Big thanks of course to Tobi, Ryan and the whole Era organization for putting their trust in me and I can wait to hit the track at CTMP!”

Ryan Dalziel  (Driver, #18 Era Motorsport Oreca 07): “I’m really excited to be back in the LMP2 car for this year’s Chevrolet Grand Prix. It’s been great working behind the scenes, but there’s nothing quite like getting back behind the wheel. This event is special for the class. We're the headliners and the fastest cars on track, which means the competition is going to be even more intense.
