Mirabel, June 5th 2011 \u2013 Action was the main word for this 4th Round and some of that action cost Brampton driver Sasha Anis his pole position right at the start.<\/p>\n
The aggressive start had Anis and Borgeat spinnig in corner one and that left Anis at the end of the field. That spin probably cost a podium position as he was not able to climb back up to the front during the race. Nevertheless, in Super Class, this confusion was not as bad for everyone since former Championship winner and Quebec driver Nick Wittmer took this opportunity to pass five cars and take the second place in the Fastco Motorsport\u2019s Hyundai Tiburon. Wittmer stayed second all race long behind race winner Bob Attrell. The Brampton driver managed to keep in front of the field to get his first victory in his career. That was Attrell\u2019s second podium of the weekend and only third of his career. The third position went to a new Quebec driver, Philip Fayer in a Pontiac Solstice. He was running his first race weekend and won his first podium during the same event.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a fun race, I am very happy\u201d, declared Attrell. \u201cIt is different guys that we see on the podium since the beginning of the Championship, and it gives hope for the remaining of the\u00a0 season. In my career, it is my third podium and my first victory. I am very happy with the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was expecting to finish in sixth or seventh position since I was starting from behind, but I am very happy to have had an opportunity at the beginning of the race to get the second place and to keep it. It\u2019s the first time that I drove the Fastco Motorsport\u2019s Hyundai and during the weekend, I was able to improve my laptime by 3 seconds.\u201d declared Wittmer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In other action on the track, several drivers had to abandon the race. Quebec drivers Jocelyn Hebert in a Honda Civic and Pascal Carre in BMW 328i were caught in an accident in the hairpin and were not able to continue the race. Fluids from the crash made it slippery for the other drivers.<\/p>\n
The podium for Touring Class was identical as the day before as Miniteammates Michel Sallenbach and Alain Lauzi\u00e8re were respectively first and second. Markham driver Tom Kwok finished in third place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI find that the Circuit ICAR is great for us and we take advantage of it. I am really happy with the weekend.\u201d concluded Sallenbach.<\/p>\n
