TestDrive was invited by Nissan Canada to Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Mont-Tremblant Québec for the finale of the 2018 Nissan Micra Cup, September 21 to 23.
The Coupe Nissan Micra Cup is a Canadian racing event that consists exclusively of Nissan Micra race cars, tuned in part by Nismo for this 6-race series held annually in Ontario and Québec, Canada. We were invited for the final leg of the championship at Circuit Mont-Tremblant to watch the race and experience some quality Canadian motorsport.
The racing version of the Nissan Micra is based on the production and street version of the Nissan Micra, with a tuned suspension, better brakes, a stripped out interior, racing seat, harness, and crash cage. While this car isn't street legal, it uses the same engine that's found on the 2018 Nissan Micra S.
We show some of the qualification racing that took place during the Sunday morning of the Micra Cup, and some of the event itself. Nissan also invites enthusiasts and owners as part of the Cup festivities, getting a front-row seat to the excitement, and also the chance to drive their own street-legal cars on the race track during a mid-day parade.
We talk about some of the enthusiast building Nissan is doing with this type of event, and why we think this is right up our alley when it comes to automotive enthusiasm.
