MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada – Next weekend, the Nissan Micra Cup will host the grand finale of the 2018 season as part of the Circuit Mont-Tremblant Fall Classic. At the Circuit Mont-Tremblant track in the heart of the Laurentians, thousands of spectators will watch in anticipation to see if Olivier Bédard, Normand Boyer and Fadi Mourad are officially declared champions in their respective classes.
Last year, the Nissan Micra Cup finale generated the largest attendance record in over 10 years; Circuit Mont-Tremblant had not seen a crowd that size since the 2006 American Champ Car (IndyCar Series). Although the race to secure this year's championship title isn't as tight as the 2017 series, there's no doubt the final two races of the season will draw large crowds of spectators to take in the action.
The odds are in Olivier Bédard's favor as he heads into the 2018 Fall Classic next weekend. If his closest rival Kevin King wins both races and claims points for pole position, in addition to achieving lap record in both races, then Bédard just needs to start one of the two races to claim his third overall title. Knowing the competitiveness of all drivers, Bédard will surely be battling for the win not only against King, but also: Ontarian Jake Exton, winner of the 50th race of the Micra Cup series; Valérie Limoges, the first female driver to claim an overall win in the series; and Normand Boyer, a veteran driver who is almost guaranteed to earn his second consecutive Senior Class title.
