Sébastien Loeb (Peugeot 208 WRX) won the first qualifying round of the Trois-Rivières event in Canada. The Frenchman, opposed in his race to his two Peugeot Sport teammates Timmy and Kevin Hansen, got the better of the first of the two Hansen brothers, although author of a good start, but author of a small error.
Le nonuple champion du monde des rallyes devance Mattias Ekström (Audi S1 – EKS RX), Petter Solberg (Volkswagen Polo – PSRX VW Sweden) et Niclas Gronhölm (Hyundai i20 – GRX) au classement de la manche qualificative.
A further back start for world champion Johan Kristoffersson (Volkswagen Polo – PSRX VW Sweden), who had to battle against Andreas Bakkerud (Audi S1 – EKS RX) in his race, and who finished 11th in Q1.
Jérôme Grosset-Janin (Renault Megane RS RX – GCK RX) takes 12th place.

Welcome to Canada! It's @AndreasBakkerud v @ JohanKMS88 and we have no idea how the @EKSRX kept it out of the wall!

Even less success for Guerlain Chicherit (Renault Megane RS RX – GCK RX) and Grégoire Demoustier (Peugeot 208 WRX – Sébastien Loeb Racing) who made contact in their heat, with the retirement of Demoustier.
Q1 Race 1 // What a dramatic opening race to the weekend!
