From press release
Antoine L'Estage wasted no time settling in with Subaru Rally Team Canada. The reigning Canadian rally champion won his event with team, Saturday during the 50th Rallye Perce-Neige, in Maniwaki. “This is a perfect way to start the collaboration with Subaru,” said L'Estage. “I really need to thank everyone on the team for preparing the car for the event. It's been really important for all of us to come out and put this car on top of the podium for the first time.” The husband and wife team of Sylvain Vincent and Dominique Cyr drove a measured rally. The two have not competed together in over a decade, and so concentrated on finding a good rhythm and avoiding any big risks. The tactics paid off with a strong result. Karel Carré and Philippe Poirier teamed up for the Rallye Perce-Neige, their first event together. Carré is new to rally driving, having started last year. The 22-year-old benefitted from the tutelage of his father, Bruno, who has finished on the podium many times at Perce-Neige. Bruno as opted to step back from the competition and instead support Karel's ambitions as a driver. In 2015, Rallye Perce-Neige organizers celebrated their 50th anniversary with a special rock concert on the Friday night. Podium celebrations following the rally were complemented by a fireworks show.
