Mikael Arsenault and Layla Zigby Power a Two-Wheel Drive Peugeot to Victory at the Rallye Baie-des-Chaleurs!
June 29, 2025 – Held under beautiful, fully summery weather and cheered on by thousands of spectators in the special stages, the Rallye International Baie-des-Chaleurs in Gaspesia, Quebec, hosted the third round of the 2025 Eastern Canadian Rally Championship (ECRC) this weekend. Using only Saturday’s route, the ECRC witnessed a historic first as Quebec driver Mikael Arsenault and his French co-driver Layla Zigby claimed overall victory in their Peugeot 208 Rally4. After winning the two-wheel drive standings in the season opener at Rallye Perce-Neige, the duo has now become the first team to win an overall ECRC event with a two-wheel drive car, on a rally contested entirely on gravel and dirt roads.
