After yesterday’s sunshine, overcast skies and a few raindrops greeted the SPC Series competitors on Sunday morning at Circuit Mont-Tremblant for the second of three races scheduled for the weekend as part of the Spring Classic.
The Compact class race kicked off the day’s activities. The event was under caution for an extended period following an incident that sent Tamara Maracle off the track in her Nissan Micra. The nine green-flag laps were highlighted by a battle for victory between Frédéric Bernier and Shelby Mills, who finished in that order. Patrick Desrochers, also driving a Micra, completed the podium ahead of Étienne Samson-Laflamme in a Toyota Echo. Meanwhile, Éric Coulombe saw his winning streak (four wins in four races) come to an end, finishing fifth.
The SP and Production race ran without a single caution period. Starting from pole position, Gabriel Lacombe led most of the race in his Honda Civic Type R. Starting eighth on the grid, Alexandre Fortin quickly worked his way to the front and managed to take the lead from Lacombe with five laps remaining. Fortin thus claimed his fifth victory in as many starts this season. He finished ahead of Lacombe, Arek Wojciechowski, Charles-André Bilodeau—who was making his first start of the 2026 season in a Ford Mustang—and Jonathan Manseau.
In the Production class, Zack Lalonde dominated the race, finishing ahead of Peter Hanson and Yannick Lupien, reproducing the same top three as in Race 1 yesterday. Marc-André Bourdages and Adrien Raoult completed the top five.
The third and final races of the weekend will take place this afternoon, with the Compact class scheduled for 1:00 p.m., followed by the SP and Production classes at 2:30 p.m.
