Reigning Canadian rally champions Antoine L'Estage and Nathalie Richard, who retired from the season's opening round, at Perce-Neige, came back strong in Rallye Baie-des-Chaleurs.
L'Estage and Richard powered through engines issues to a record-breaking fifth "Baie" win aboard their Mitsubishi Evo X, in New Richmond, Québec, where round two of the Canadian Rally Championship (CRC) season was held in muddy conditions.
Perce-Neige winners Pat Richard and Rob Fagg (Subaru Impreza WRX) had to settle for second, but managed to hold on to their lead in the points standings.
Meanwhile Maxime Labrie and father Robert (Subaru Impreza WRX) took advantage of "Crazy" Leo Urlichich's (Subaru Impreza WRX) bad luck to squeeze onto the last step of the podium.
Marc-André Larose and Yves Lafrenière (BMW 318) took top honours in the two-wheel drive standings.
