Trevor Pougnet and Ryan Rouleau Win the Rally of the Voyageurs and Take the Lead in the Championship
May 11, 2025 – Originally scheduled for April 5 but postponed due to weather issues, the Rally of the Voyageurs took place this Saturday in the Catchacoma region of Ontario. It served as the second round of the 2025 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC), a series celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and, for the first time ever, welcoming the Voyageurs rally; a revived event that was once among the most hotly contested rallies in Eastern Ontario.
The date change affected the availability of several competitors who had entered for the April event, and this time, fourteen teams took the start, nearly evenly split between two and four-wheel-drive cars. After eight special stages, the victory went to Ontarians Trevor Pougnet and Ryan Rouleau in their Subaru WRX STI. Third-place finishers at the season-opening Rallye Perce-Neige, the pair now move into the overall lead of the championship after two of the nine rounds on the 2025 season.
