A SUCCESSFUL FIRST SEASON FOR JF DUMOULIN AS GENERAL MANAGER AND DRIVER

september 29, 2019

"The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is even more important"

Jean-François Dumoulin and the #04 Spectra Premium | Groupe Bellemare | Trois-Rivières Mitsubishi | MIA | Bernier Crépeau Chrysler Fiat team can be proud of what they have accomplished this season. With two podiums, a top-5 and a sixth-place finish in four road races, Jean-François Dumoulin achieved his first objective in 2019 as a driver. In addition, as General Manager of Dumoulin Competition, he managed the rental, preparation and track-side support of three other cars (47-91-07) and of the leasing of the #04 oval car to Brandon White, a first and most rewarding experience.

"It's been a busy year! We knew it would be a lot of work and, overall, we are happy with the feedback we have received. We were aware that we needed to improve in several areas, including the intermediate and short ovals such as New Hampshire and Jukasa Motor Speedway. That's why I came to Jukasa this weekend to collect data," said Jean-François Dumoulin.

"The Spectra Premium | Groupe Bellemare | Trois-Rivières Mitsubishi | MIA | Bernier Crépeau Chrysler Fiat teammates and brothers stood out this year and the results we obtained on road courses are more than encouraging," concluded the General Manager of Dumoulin Competition.

"50 years behind the wheel": an historic year

We will all remember the magical moments at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières (GP3R), with the Dumoulin brothers together on the podium, a sight people had been waiting to see for a long time. This happened on the 50th anniversary of the Dumoulin family on the track, and the 50th edition of the GP3R. Another major event for The Dumoulin clan was Dumoulin Competition, the eponymous race shop, moving into the car rental and preparation business for other drivers, as well as a hands-on development activity for young drivers through the Festidrag Développement program.

The 2019 season is coming to an end, the Dumoulin Competition's teams are already working on their 2020 program and other exciting projects...
