NISSAN SENTRA CUP - The fourth edition of the 2022 Sentra Cup Magazine is out now, featuring highlights from Nissan Sentra Cup's weekend at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières
The action-packed weekend saw Justin Arseneau and Kevin King each take a victory. Friday's qualifying session saw a record in the history of the series, with 33 competitors competing and leaving young Justin Arseneau to take his seventh pole position in seven races so far this season.
As for Valérie Limoges, she jumps on top of the point standings, becoming the first woman to ever lead the Championship in eight years (six years of the Micra Cup and two years of the Sentra Cup). Following her performance this past weekend, Valerie also becomes the first-ever female driver to lead a national motorsports series in Canada.
A notable name in motorsport joined the Sentra Cup during the 52nd edition of the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres, Freddie Hunt, son of legendary Formula 1 champion James Hunt. A career first, Hunt made his racing debut in North America by competing in the Nissan Sentra Cup, at the wheel of the #96 Sentra, the number his father had when he competed at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières during the Formula Atlantic race in 1976. Freddie finished both races in twelfth and then seventh place respectively. When asked about his experience at the Championship, he said: "I was pleasantly surprised to see that my father's memories were still very present. I knew the story of his participation in 1976, but in Europe, nobody talks about it. Everyone here was talking about it. It was very touching."
Fans can tune in to read all the race weekend highlights in this edition of the Nissan Sentra Cup Magazine. The magazine includes an interview with Freddie Hunt, the driver who competed in a motorsports event in North America, and in the Nissan Sentra Cup, for the first time in his career!
