ANOTHER HONOUR FOR SRTC LEADER L’ESTAGE This past October, nine-time Canadian Rally Champion and Subaru Rally Team Canada (SRTC) driver Antoine L’Estage was inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame. The rally star from Saint- Jean-sur-Richelieu started his career as a privateer, driving for competing manufacturers, before joining SRTC at the start of the 2015 season. Aside from securing the Canadian title more times than any other driver in history, he’s also one of only two competitors to win the Canadian, American and North American rally championships in the same season, a feat he accomplished in 2010. He’s won the Rally America title once and the North American title an incredible seven times. “It’s a great honour for me to be inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame,” said L’Estage, after hearing that he would be joining what is a very exclusive club. “It’s awesome to represent the CRC and the sport I love.” This past season, L’Estage not only became the Canadian Rally Champion once again, he also set a new all-time record for most wins in the series. With his victory at the season-ending Big White Winter Rally, the Subaru driver now has 46 victories to his name. “I’m very proud to have accomplished this while representing Subaru Rally Team Canada,” he said. “The guys at Rocket Rally are great teammates and work hard to make sure we all succeed.” ATHLETIC PURSUITS • Subaru Ironman Canada • Subaru Canada Triathlon Series • Subaru Centurion Canada • Canadian Ski Instructors’ Alliance SOCIAL CAUSES • Ronald McDonald House Charities ® Canada • Golf Fore the Cure • St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program For further details on all the organizations supported by Subaru Canada, visit subaru.ca. six star magazine 5
