Kevin
Lacroix Canadian karter on the move... Kevin Lacroix to Formula BMW
|
Laval, Quebec
March 30
More than 200 guests, dignitaries
and sponsors gathered in a Montreal hotel for the official season launch of
Kevin Lacroix in the Formula BMW USA and the presentation of his road racing FB2
single seater. A very colorful evening where sponsors and partners showed
their support and their trust towards the 16-year-old rookie driver from St-Eustache,
Quebec. A number of racing fans were present and Grand Prix de
Trois-Rivi�res Friends took the opportunity to present their annual racing
scholarship to Lacroix.
Im so thankful to my parents, my sponsors and all those who helped me in my
eight karting years, said Kevin. Tonight is a definitely a landmark in my career
and I think this gets me more nervous than starting a big race from pole
position! This year, I have a very professional team and the test days have been
very positive so far.
We look up to young men like Kevin to become ambassadors of our community,
spoke the Mayor of St-Eustache, Claude Carignan. I am always impressed
when I read the name of our city next to Kevins name when I read a paper or
search on the Internet, especially with Kevin racing all across North America.
We like the poise, dedication and determination of this young man, added
Jacques Landreville, president of Uni-Select, the largest independent wholesaler
aftermarket network in Canada. We know he is going to succeed and we want
to assure him of our total support in the coming years.
