Coupe de Montreal - SH Karting, Quebec

dimanche, septembre 19 2010

In a season where PSL Karting drivers are continually climbing podium steps to celebrate, it almost takes and extraordinary result to catch the attention of the paddock - and that’s just what the Quebec-based CRG squad put up a week ago when it won in every class it contested at the fifth round of the Coupe de Montreal! With fifteen drivers on hand at SH Karting for the penultimate event, PSL won in Micro-Max, Junior, Senior, DD2, Masters, and Honda Senior! A pair of drivers put stamps on Championship campaigns, while four others scored their first wins of the schedule.

 

"It’s always exciting for us when PSL drivers win races, but when something like last week happens and we win in every single class we have drivers in - it’s much more than exciting," said PSL Karting president Dominic Labrecque. "And winning races is not always easy, so when we have drivers who win for the first time like that, we feel really good for them."

 

One of the PSL Karting drivers to take his first win of the season at SH was Massimo Scotti in Rotax Senior. After a wild range of results through the summer in a number of series’ the CRG pilot was understandably thrilled with the result.

 

 

 

"The win feels incredible after all the bad luck I’ve had this season," Scotti said of his triumph at round five. "I qualified second and started the final third, but felt very good. Then I was second the whole race and studying the leader lap after lap before making a move for the lead with three laps to go. I’d never won at SH, but always enjoyed racing there."

 

Now the fabled Montreal track will bring a special memory for Scotti, and one polar opposite to those he carries from this year’s Monaco at Trois-Rivieres. "I was doing very well at Monaco before the bad crash," he said of working from eighth to fifth in the prefinal and running fourth early in the final. "Then seeing it on TV was just horrifying!" Scotti escaped from one of the worst flips of the season virtually unscathed, but was left to wonder when a podium or win would come as a result for his efforts.

 

He also had a great start to the National Championship, qualifying fourth and finishing second in his first heat race before the rains came, and ultimately followed his third-place in 2009 with 11th in the wet at Mont-Tremblant. He maintained a top-ten National ranking throughout the season, and finally hit pay dirt at SH. He will now look to follow his first win of the season with another, when the Coupe de Montreal wraps this weekend at ICAR.

 

 

 

Joining Scotti on the top of the box at SH were Marc-Andre Bourgeois in DD2, Nicolas Michaud in Honda, Jesse Lazare in Junior, James Dean Laderoute in Micro, and Dany St-Hilaire in Tag. Laderoute captured the Championship with his fourth straight series’ win, while St. Hilaire won his fifth straight and is looking to run the season undefeated. Racing never stops for PSL, as after the Coupe de Montreal finale, focus will turn to the Rotax International Open in Spain, the Rotax World Finals in Italy, and SKUSA SuperNationals in Las Vegas. Full team results from SH follow below.
