BRP signs Top Canadian ATV
Racers
The Can-Am X-Team Continues Its Commitment to
Racing
Richard Pelchat, Michael
Ouellette & Jimmy Morin
Valcourt, Canada (2/1/2008) - BRP's
Can-AmTM DS 450TM EFI ATV
will be challenging for the podium in each round
of the Canadian
Motosport Racing Club's (CMRC) National Series and
the CMRC's provincial
series in Quebec in 2008. Richard Pelchat, Michael
Ouellette and Jimmy
Morin, three of Canada's top ATV motocross racers
will pilot the DS 450
EFI in races across Canada, including Quebec.
"From the beginning of our DS 450 development
program we were committed
to making a machine that will win championships,"
said Bernard Guy, ATV
marketing director at BRP. "To win a Canadian
championship would be very
special for BRP, which is exactly what these three
racers and teams will
set out to do."
Five-time Canadian national champion and St-Romuald,
Quebec resident,
Richard Pelchat, will be racing for the Can-Am
team in select World
Powersports Association ATV Tour events, but will
focus on the 2008 CMRC
national series events and 2008 ITP/Moose Racing
ATVA/AMA Motocross
Championship.
Michael Ouellette of Tingwick, Quebec, will ride
Can-Am ATVs with the
NDB Sport / PLX Sport team. Last season Ouellette
just missed taking
third in the CMRC National Championship. This
season he will focus on
improving on his fourth-place showing in the series.
Cap-St-Ignace, Quebec's Jimmy Morin suffered
from bad luck last year
during the CMRC Nationals, but four top-five finishes
allowed him to
finish sixth overall. For 2008, Morin will race
for the Can-Am team with
the NDB Sport / PLX Sport team and looks forward
to staying consistent
through the entire series to make a run for the
championship.
Each racer will pilot the all-new, high-tech
DS 450 EFI, which features
an innovative ALTEC aluminum frame and chassis
components. Inside the
chassis sits the potent Rotax(r) 450 engine that
produces
championship-calibre power. This combination gives
the DS 450 EFI model
the highest power-to-weight ratio and the lightest
dry weight in its
class.
