Nissan Micra Cup star drivers hosting one-of-a-kind, public track session

The first track day for Canada's favourite spec series makes for unforgettable Father's Day gift

Mississauga, Ont.

Total Canada's drivers including: 2015 first place champion Olivier Bédard; 2016 first place champion Xavier Coupal; and 2016 fifth place champion Valérie Limoges, will act as instructors and will teach participants how to operate the Nissan Micra Cup race cars. All three drivers graced the podium at the most recent Nissan Micra Cup race - the Sunday of the Spring Classic at Circuit Mont Tremblant (May 28).

Following a briefing session, participants will have the opportunity to emulate the experience of the Nissan Micra Cup competitors by getting behind the wheel of a Micra Cup race car and taking it around the track. Each session will conclude with participants in the passenger seat of the legendary 2017 Nissan GT-R supercar, while their Nissan Micra Cup instructor takes them on an exciting lap of the track at full speed.
