Hargrove Sweeps GT3 Races at Trois-Rivières
This past weekend’s Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières event saw Scott Hargrove sweep both Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge races, with two hard-fought victories that the pilot was quick to dedicate to his birthday-celebrating father back home in Surrey, B.C..

Brazil Stock Car Qualifying Disrupted Qualifying runs for a Brazilian stock car event in Curitiba were disrupted when several dogs ran out onto the track while cars were running at speed.

The race itself was also eventful, with an explosive crash marring the start following a mechanical failure by Thiago Camilo, and another on-track incident involving a boy running across the track in front of oncoming cars. No one was hurt in that incident either.
