An event for the ages

The crowds, the roads, the competition!

The 2024 Lincoln Electric Rally of the Tall Pines is in the books and what an event it was! After a rainy recce day, the weather cleared and the roads dried enough to provide really good grip for the teams. And what teams they were! L'estage and Ockwell, Mailloux and Poirier, Besner and Joyal, McRae and Fair and many other contenders. All had a chance at the prize, but the Tall Pines roads took their toll, with L'estage taken out by a rock, and Mailloux by a bad landing after a huge jump. Max McRae quickly got comfortable with the Bancroft roads, and was a consistent fourth fastest behind the three Canadian title contenders. After the departure of L'estage and Mailloux, it was Jean-Sebastien Besner and Yvan Johal leading with McRae and Fair hot on their tail. At the finish it was Besner in his R5 ahead of McRae in the R4 by 53 seconds with Jonathan Drake and Ian Lantz filling in the rest of the podium. In 2 Wheel Drive, McRae took first with the Leblanc brothers in second and Laverdiere/Fouteret third. Top National Novice driver was Jeremie Thibault.

Huge crowds watched the rally, enjoying the spectacle, the weather, and the Bancroft hospitality. Of course, we have to thank all of our volunteers and great sponsors for their support of the rally. Check out all of our sponsors in the sidebar to the right.
