Simon Vincent and Hubert Gaudreau Return to Victory at Rallye Défi Petite Nation

September 7, 2025.– Just one week after clinching the title in the Nissan Sentra Cup (Canada’s national road racing championship), Simon Vincent carried his winning momentum into the weekend by dominating the stages counting toward the Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC) at Rallye Défi Petite Nation. Alongside co-driver Hubert Gaudreau, Vincent scored his second ECRC victory of 2025, following his season-opening win at Rallye Perce-Neige, behind the wheel of his Test Racing Subaru WRX STI. The duo claimed ten of the fifteen special stages that counted toward the ECRC standings.

Making his return to a national and ECRC event, Yohan Tessier, co-driven by Philippe Poirier, finished second, just 1 minute 5.8 seconds behind the winning crew. Their result also sealed a 1-2 finish for the Test Racing team in an event contested alternately under sunshine and light rain, and followed by thousands of fans lining the stages in the Petite Nation region of Outaouais.
