A FIRST AT THE CHALLENGE!

Sherbrooke, February 20th, 2004 - Bertrand Godin and Marc-Antoine Camirand, two talented drivers of the no longer existing Team Player's, will meet up in Sherbrooke for the 6th edition of the Challenge sur glace Damafro - Sherbrooke.

Bertrand Godin is the only quebecer who participated to the six editions of the Challenge sur glace Damafro - Sherbrooke. He even worked his way up to 2nd place at a race last year.

As for Marc-Antoine Camirand, he participated to the last four editions of the event in Sherbrooke. The last two were aboard his own car. He made his first attempts on ice at only 16 years old at the track events of the FAQ. " Our BMW wasn't powerfull enough compared to the French cars. So I decided to invest in a European T3F to put up a good show. Teaming up with Bertrand is making me believe that we could easily end up in the top 5 ", states the driver from St-L�onard-d'Aston.
