Montreal, QC – Members of ASAP Racing, an all-girl Quebec high school team preparing to represent Canada at the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals 2025, will be welcomed this weekend at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières (GP3R) by NASCAR Canada General Manager Alan Labrosse and GP3R General Manager Dominic Fugère.
The visit, organized by CMHF inductee Anne Roy, offers the students behind-the-scenes access to one of Canada’s most prestigious racing events. From touring the NASCAR Canada Series paddock to speaking with engineers and race officials, they’ll witness first-hand how a top-level motorsport environment operates and how their own ideas and ambitions could one day take them there.
“It’s an honour to welcome ASAP Racing to GP3R,” said Alan Labrosse, General Manager of NASCAR Canada. “These young women are a great example of the passion and intelligence that will shape the future of our sport. I hope this visit shows them just how many doors their talent can open.”
ASAP Racing, from Pensionnat du Saint-Nom-de-Marie in Montreal, is the only all-female team, and the first Quebec team to represent Canada at the global finals. After winning second place in Canada at the North American Finals STEM Racing competition, the team earned its place at the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals in Singapore, taking place September 27 to October 2, 2025.
As part of the competition, the students taught themselves principles of engineering, aerodynamics, and design; built and raced a miniature race car; and developed a full marketing program for their team, gaining real-world experience in branding, sponsorship, and strategy.
“At GP3R, we believe the future of motorsport depends on opening the doors wider and bringing new energy, new talent, and new perspectives into the paddock,” said Dominic Fugère, General Manager of the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières. “These students embody the kind of drive and ingenuity our sport needs. We’re also proud to have a diverse leadership team, including Jacynthe Ayotte as our Director of Operations, proving every day that excellence comes from inclusion.”
The GP3R visit is part of Anne Roy’s broader initiative to create meaningful access points for the next generation of innovators and leaders in motorsport and beyond.
“This is why access matters,” said Anne Roy. “When young women are invited into spaces where ideas become reality, it changes what they believe is possible. They don’t just observe, they begin to imagine a future with themselves in it. That shift in perspective can be the spark that drives bold choices, new ambitions, and long-term change, not only in motorsport, but in any field where they are underrepresented.”
