Jeremy Norris is debuting his new rally car at Rallye Perce Neige, ready to take on the best drivers in North America.
Rally Perce Neige is a legend in the Canadian Rally Championship. Difficult snow and ice covered roads demand drivers perform at their best for more than 230kms of stages, and do it all in one mammoth day. The 2017 edition has been setup to become one of the most fascinating and exciting editions yet, with international entries, new sections of road, and interesting twists on old favourites.
Subaru Canada has confirmed their ongoing support of the Canadian Rally Championship for the 2017 season. Subaru continues involvement as a presenting sponsor while fielding an official team, and providing support to privateer competitors through a renewed contingency program.
Antoine L’Estage and Darren Garrod of the Subaru Rally Team Canada emerged from the snowy forest stages of the Big White Rally as victors.
After a long and difficult day in challenging conditions, the Subaru Rally Team Canada pairing of Antoine L’Estage and Darren Garrod were victorious at the 2016 Rally of the Tall Pines. The result is especially important for the team, who struggled earlier in the season and had to make up ground in their bid for the Canadian Rally Championship title.
The Rally of the Tall Pines is one of the longest standing events in the Canadian Rally Championship. Traditionally, the rally has marked the close of the season and has played host to dramatic season finale performances in the past.
Subaru Rally Team Canada’s Antoine L’Estage and Darren Garrod made big gains at the Pacific Forest Rally, winning the event and getting their championship bid back on track after a tough first half of the season. From start to finish, the pair dominated the field at the rally held in Merritt, BC, winning every stage on their way to overall victory.
Antoine L’Estage and Darren Garrod have taken the lead on the first day of the 2016 Pacific Forest Rally, taking advantage of road position to press their advantage even further. The team took the lead from the first stage and ended the day with a three minute 38 second advantage. By running first on the road, the pair also avoided the difficulty that most teams face – heavy dust obscuring the view of the road ahead.
The Pacific Forest Rally marks a turning point in the Canadian Rally Championship. Held in the mountains surrounding the Nicola Valley in central British Columbia, drivers not only contend with dusty roads bordered by large exposures, but a creeping darkness as long summer days give way to longer nights.
The second day of the 2016 Rallye Défi proved to be as unpredictable as the first. With the main championship teams out of contention at the start of the day, a new crop of teams began to battle for the top positions.
