The CRC episode from the team at CARSRALLY on You Tube is not out yet, but we do have some highlights from the recent Rallye Baie Des Chaleurs in New Richmond QC saw some amazing action.     With Antoine L’Estage and Alan Ockwell taking the event by 3 Minutes and 28 seconds — it really was a good battle.  With Antoine dropping to third during only the second stage there was time to make up.    Smart choices throughout the day resulted in catching up and by the seconds leg at B1, Antoine took the lead and didn’t lose it, with Joël Levac / Stéphanie Lewis on their heels the entire event, at one stage within 1 second finish time.

Look for the CARSRALLY team to release a full CRC episode in the near future.

One major off saw a competitor with large jump, bounce and then off against a tree.  Reminding us again that safety is a must and please – do not try this at home.   More coverage from the OPRC team when the video arrives.
