Nissan: Nissan Micra Cup Magazine – Canadian Tire Motorsport Park

This past weekend, the Nissan Micra Cup officially kicked off its 2017 season, the third in the series’ history, at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) northeast of Toronto, Ontario. Drivers competed in two races, one on Saturday in the sun and one on Sunday in the rain. Despite the opposing weather conditions, each race was just as exciting as the other for the tens of thousands of fans in attendance. In the end, Jean-Michel Isabelle won both races.

Next weekend, the third and fourth races of the 2017 season will be held as part of the Spring Classic at Circuit Mont-Tremblant. The practice session will take place on Friday, and the qualifying session and races will take place on Saturday and Sunday. This event will surely attract another big crowd and will mark the Nissan Micra Cup debut for actor and comedian Michel Barrette, who missed the first race weekend at CTMP because of a conflict with his show’s tour. Next weekend, he will be the third member of the Barrette family to compete in the Nissan Micra Cup.
