The 2016 Nissan Micra Cup held its fifth and sixth races of the season this Sunday at the Autodrome St-Eustache, near Montreal. For the first and only time this season, the drivers competed in two races and qualifying sessions on the same day. This format was a successful one for Kevin King and Olivier Bédard, both of whom won a race.
The first race of the day saw lot of action, during which Kevin King, Olivier Bédard and Stefan Rzadzinski established a significant lead in front of the rest of the drivers. A black flag penalty of a few seconds caused Rzadzinksi to fall behind and Marc-Antoine Demers climbed to third place, earning a position on the podium beside his teammate Olivier Bédard (2nd) and Kevin King (1st).
The final race had similarities and differences from the first. The same three drivers who had qualified in first, second and third place for the first race, started in the same positions for the second race. Kevin King started in pole position, followed by Olivier Bédard and Stefan Rzadzinski. It is only at the end of an action-packed event that Bédard was able to win his first race of the season, only one corner away from the start/finish line!
