Quebec driver Antoine L'Estage will contest this weekend's Rocky Mountain Rally, in British Columbia, an event counting towards both the Canadian and North American Rally Championships.
It is here that the Rockstar team driver will be attempting to earn his sixth event victory as well as capture the North American title.
L'Estage has always had a lot of success at the Rocky Mountain Rally, back when the rally was held near Calgary, Alberta. This year the rally will introduce an entirely new location, near Invermere, British Columbia.
“We're starting from scratch but everyone is in the same boat,” said L'Estage.
“I enjoy contesting new events. I'm really confident but we won't be taking any strategic risks, we're bringing with us the entire lineup of Yokohama tires for snow, ice, mud, and gravel in order to be prepared for all weather conditions, which is the big question mark for this rally”, he added.
L'Estage will be co-driven by Welshman Craig Parry at the Rocky Mountain Rally. This team claimed the victory at the previous round of the Canadian Rally Championship earlier this month, the Pacific Forest Rally. The win was an important one as it enabled Antoine to close the gap even more in the fight for the Canadian drivers' title as well as put Mitsubishi in the lead for the manufacturers' title.
“Our goal at the Rocky Mountain Rally is the same as at the Pacific - to win!” confessed Antoine L'Estage, who has won the last three Canadian events and is currently leading the North American Rally Cup drivers' title hunt. He could lock it up this weekend.
With a victory for the Rockstar team and a third place finish or worse for their main rivals in the Canadian Rally Championship, Antoine L'Estage could also take the lead of the Canadian series with just the Rocky Mountain Rally this weekend and one last round, the Tall Pines in Ontario in November to conclude the 2013 season.
