From Geneviève Trudeau Senécal
There are two events left to the Canadian Rally Championship, the Pacific Forest Rally that will take place this next week-end, in British-Colombia, and the famous Rally of the Tall Pines, schedule for mid-November.
Even if defending champions Antoine L'Estage and Nathalie Richard are most likely not to be champion again this season, they will be heading for victory this week-end, in Merritt.
Unfortunately, two non-finishes caused them to forget first place in the standing. Their mechanical retirement in both the Rocky Mountain Rally in the spring and the last Rallye Défi when they were leading, mean they will probably not be champions again.
However, it does not mean they will not race for victory! This is all the two drivers will be thinking about this week-end, trying to secure a good result after the deception of the last race.
Around thirty teams should participate to this rally, in Merritt, British-Colombia. Drivers will run 154 km, mostly in forest's roads. They will be racing from 6:30 to 11:30 on Friday night, and then from 9:00AM to 6:00PM on Saturday.
