Road circuit
Auto Sport Québec governs road circuit racing, but how do you determine what a road circuit is?
This is a generally asphalt track in the heart of an outdoor sports complex on which car or motorcycle races take place. Most of the facilities are permanent but in some cases, a circuit can be set up temporarily either in a park like the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit on Île Notre-Dame or in an urban environment by using the streets to make a layout on public roads.
Various types of events are organized there, ranging from racing to driving school and private tests. Generally, the sites have amenities such as toilet facilities, grandstands, parking and sometimes even a restaurant.
First of all, the so-called "road" circuits are made up of straight lines of varying length as well as bends at different angles. There may also be more or less significant changes in elevation. The bends are delimited by vibrators and bordered on the outside by a sandbox often made of gravel. These sandboxes are also bordered by shock-absorbing structures, often made of tires, which are used to reduce the severity of possible injuries in the event of a track exit.
For a road circuit driver, following the racing line is the best way to do the track as quickly as possible. Taking the corners on the right line will allow him not to lose too much speed. It is more difficult to overtake on this type of circuit. But in terms of safety, he benefits from escape routes and sand traps to catch up on a failed maneuver.
Clubs

Course Vintage Québec (CVQ)
The CVQ's mission is the preservation and especially the use in racing of historic cars that raced at the time or were prepared as if they were. The members of the CVQ are committed to establishing and respecting safety rules, both for vehicles and for racing behavior.
The CVQ participates in historic car races and will eventually train new drivers who are keen to immerse themselves in a nostalgic atmosphere. The appearance of the cars and the authenticity of the configuration are important criteria for all members of Courses Vintage Québec.

Formule Libre
The Formula Free Club was founded in 2012 by Mr. Nigel Mortimer, supported by his wife Wendy, as well as Messrs. Franc Roiron and Jean-Guy Fournier, all from the National Capital Region, Ottawa. This group of formula racing car drivers had become necessary to ensure the sustainability of this type of racing in Ontario and Quebec. At that time, several drivers had put their racing cars away due to lack of support in the community.

Grand Prix Trois-Rivière
The Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières (GPR3) was born in 1967 when motorsport enthusiasts, members of the Club Autosport Mauricien (CAM), decided to organize a race in the streets of the city. Inspired by the Monaco races, Messrs. Jean E. Ryan, Yves Dufour, Paul Charest, Léon Girard and Léon Cadieux, in addition to a committee of about thirty people, organized what was for several years a unique event in America.
Sanctioned Series

Super Production Challenge Championship
The SPC, which debuted in 2011, provides an avenue for drivers and manufacturers to test their skills and products in high-level professional competition. The series was designed to control costs by limiting performance with a power-to-weight ratio through the use of GPS by all competitors, but allowing for significant modifications to provide fans with exciting racing with fast, high-performance cars.
