Patrick Dussault will enter two races in the Nissan Micra Cup series with Perry Performance/Hull Nissan race team, this weekend, during the Summer Classic event at Circuit Mont Tremblant.
Patrick Dussault, who was awarded the Bertrand-Fabi trophy in 2015 and participates in the NASCAR Pinty’s series road course races in 2016, is happy to take part in this event at the wheel of the Perry Performance/Hull Nissan n°86 Nissan Micra car.
“I want to race in multiple series and drive various types of race cars. I have raced single seaters and now stock cars, and I am happy to participate in these Micra Cup races this weekend”, declares Patrick Dussault.
The 24-year-old driver is looking forward to his first event ever in the Nissan Micra Cup, on the fast road course of Circuit Mont Tremblant.
“I want to achieve the best result possible, but I will not take any unnecessary risk. A podium-finish would be great, but not at all costs. I will not be there to compromise any other driver’s chances for the championship”, said Dussault,

Nissan has done an awesome job in promoting it and we want to add to that excitement. Patrick will also assist the team in future car preparation, so that the whole team will benefit from his involvement. We are quite excited for this weekend.”
