Watch Nissan Micra Cup : Summer Classic.Opens in a new tab.
Held July 22-24 as part of the Summer Classic at Circuit Mont-Tremblant (Québec), the ninth and 10th rounds of the 2016 Nissan Micra Cup alternated between extreme rain for Saturday's race and scorching summer sun for Sunday's race. This marked the start of the second half of the 2016 season.
The Nissan Micra Cup drivers dealt with different forces of nature during this event, demonstrating the versatility of the practically stock Nissan Micra S race cars in both wet and dry conditions. The dry weather for Saturday morning's qualifying session was replaced by intense rain for the first race, before the sun came back out for Sunday's qualifying session and race.
Kevin King earned the pole position following the first race, ahead of 2015 champion Olivier Bédard and Valérie Limoges, who had her best qualifying finish in the series since she started last year. Albertan Stefan Rzadzinski and the series leader, Xavier Coupal, completed the top five.
