Vincent Lalande and Leah Brisset Win a Drama-Filled Rallye de Charlevoix!

November 2, 2025.— The penultimate round of the 2025 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC), the Rallye de Charlevoix took place this weekend and, true to tradition, drew thousands of spectators along a route combining asphalt special stages in the towns of La Malbaie and Clermont with gravel forest roads. This 32nd edition of the Rallye de Charlevoix delivered plot twists from start to finish. Winners of the previous ECRC event (Rallye Défi Petite Nation last September), Simon Vincent and his co-driver Hubert Gaudreau (Subaru WRX STI) seemed poised to repeat their success, but a turbo failure cost them the lead on the final stage. This opened the door for Vincent Lalande and Leah Brisset, in a Peugeot 208 Rally4, who had kept constant pressure on their rivals and ultimately claimed overall ECRC victory as well as the two-wheel-drive class win.
