    Perfect place for a ''Micra Meet'' that a couple members have proposed.

    OT: I love the roll bar and it looks like it is also removable! And those door pads...not as practical as stock but extremely cool! Reminds me of my first Chevette, another car with a proud racing heritage HEHEHHEHE.

    MISSISSAUGA, ONT. – Today at the Montreal International Auto Show, Nissan made the public debut of the Nissan Micra Cup race car and announced the full race calendar for the inaugural season for Canada's most affordable racing series.

    Nissan Micra Cup 2015 Season Schedule
    The Nissan display was a hub of excitement as the company, along with JD Promotion & Compétition, disclosed the 2015 race calendar for the Nissan Micra Cup including support races for the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada, in Montreal this June. The race calendar for the inaugural season of the Nissan Micra Cup is as follows:

    "We are thrilled to kick off 2015 on such an exciting note by announcing the Nissan Micra Cup calendar racing at the most legendary race tracks and events in Quebec including Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Trois-Rivières and the pinnacle of Canadian racing, the Formula 1 -- Grand Prix du Canada, in Montreal," says Christian Meunier, president of Nissan Canada Inc. "This series offers passionate, amateur drivers with the unique opportunity to race in the most prestigious race of the season, in front of thousands of racing fans and the best drivers in the world, in a car that costs $20,000. This is the spirit of the Micra Cup. Providing fun, excitement and rare experiences to racing enthusiasts in Canada."

    The Micra Cup, which will launch exclusively in Quebec, is a one-of-a-kind racing series offering the lowest running cost of any Canadian series and featuring Canada's most affordable new vehicle, the 2015 Nissan Micra.
    JD Promotion & Compétition, in collaboration with Nissan and NISMO, worked extensively with a team of professionals at Motorsports in Action (MIA) to develop this special racing version of the Nissan Micra, which is constructed on the stock Nissan Micra S (base) model. Modifications are limited to suspension, exhaust and brake pads, as well as all the necessary safety equipment.
    About the Nissan Micra Cup

    Sanctioned by Auto Sport Québec (ASQ) and presented by JD Promotion & Compétition with the support of Nissan Canada, the Nissan Micra Cup exclusively features the stock Micra 1.6 S M/T model with minor modifications, including NISMO suspension - to render it race-ready.

    Unlike most motorsport events, each competing Nissan Micra race vehicle will have the exact same specifications, resulting in a competition that truly reveals the most skilled drivers. The Nissan Micra Cup race vehicles remain equipped with the Nissan Micra's stock 1.6-litre DOHC 4-cylinder engine with dual fuel injection and Twin CVTC (Continuously Variable Timing Control) and stock 5-speed manual transmission. More than 25 Nissan Micras will compete on each race weekend which will include two hours of track time consisting of: a 30-minute trial, a 30-minute qualifying session and two 30-minute races.

    Young karting drivers, the average Canadian looking for an entry point into motorsport competition, or anyone who wants to experience the rush of adrenaline inherent with racing cars are all well-suited to this series. In summary, the Nissan Micra Cup is for people who are passionate about motorsports, want to experience all the fun and thrills of racing, but without spending staggering amounts of money.
