Details about the 2015 Grand Prix of Trois-Rivieres have been released Tuesday during a press conference.
Organisers announced the return of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and of the FIA World Rallycross Championship for its 2015 edition.
And to make sure that all GP3R fans can enjoy both series fully and completely, they will be held on separate weekends, respectively from July 31st to August 2nd and on August 7th and 8th.
The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and all the others road racing series such as the NASCAR Whelan Autodrome St-Eustache Sportsman Series and the Formula Tour 1600 will be run from July 31st to August 2nd.
Then, on Friday August 7th and Saturday August 8th, the GP3R will host the SuperCars of the FIA World Rallycross Championship, the RXLites as part of the second Canadian Intercontinental Cup, the brand-new-for-2015 SXSX Rallycross Challenge for side-by-side vehicles and a soon-to-be-announced drift competition.
Bringing the GP3R on two weekends for the first time ever was done with the important objective of limiting the impact on the citizens of Trois-Rivieres to a strict minimum. With the rallycross and drift competitions entirely enclosed on the grounds of the Exhibition Parc, the de Calonne and Papineau streets as well as the Boulevard du Carmel will be open for regular road traffic more than a week earlier than in 2014.
With the return of the FIA WorldRX Championship and the RXLites series, the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières will innovate by adding the SXSX (Side-by-Side Cross) Challenge, a new rallycross series for side-by-side vehicles, which will use the same GP3R rallycross circuit.
After the success of the presence of Vaughn Gittin Jr and his drift demos in 2014, it was natural to bring more of this sport to the GP3R fans. An official drift competition will be held during the rallycross weekend with more information on this will be released shortly.
The tickets for both weekends of activities of the GP3R are now on sale at www.gp3r.com.
