TROIS-RIVERIES, QC – Sharpness and strategy were key factors in Jean-François Dumoulin and his Bernier Crépeau / Bellemare / Manac /ACASS Dodge #04 managing to make his way from 11th to third position on the track of the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières last Sunday. He defended his position with all his talent but, unfortunately, a racing incident on the last restart robbed him from a top-five.
The mechanical team worked very hard to put forward a competitive car (2008 Avenger). Qualifying did not go as planned and the adjustments made before the race were what allowed Jean-François Dumoulin to fight with the leading pack.
“We were there. I managed to avoid race incidents in front of me and had the last yellow flag stayed in, I’m confident we could have finished on the podium. For sure a podium or a top-five at home would have been more than enough for us,” explained the driver of the Bernier Crépeau/ Bellemare/ Manac/ ACASS Dodge #04. “Damages to the car are limited to the bodywork and we will be able to fix it all up before heading to Mosport [Canadian Tire Motorsport Park] in September.”
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park: Jean-François Dumoulin adds this event to his 2013 racing calendar thanks to the precious support of his sponsors. It is a track the Quebecker knows in its every details for he has been there on several occasions (victories in F1600, Grand-Am Cup and other series), notably as a driver instructor for the Speed Merchants Team (Challenge Porsche Cup GT3). As a matter of fact, this team had a lot of success last weekend in Trois-Rivieres as Darryl O’Young won all three races, including the Mayor’s Cup, on the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres track.
The whole year, the teams have been preparing to offer the best possible show during the season for the partners, fans, friends, families, and media that encourage us and believe in us. A racing weekend is not only defined by the result on the track, and Dumoulin Competition wants to share its great appreciation of your support in the paddock, in the stands, and everywhere else throughout the entire weekend of the Grand Prix of Trois-Rivieres.
