Porschephiles pumped for return to Targa

Marc Grandisson and Patrick Trudeau both hail from Quebec, a hotbed for rallying in Canada, and have been rally partners for the last 13 years. They return to the Targa Tour this year after driving it in 2013 and in 2014.

They also have enjoyed doing the Mille Miglia race in Italy and the Rally With No Name in Sweden recently, always riding in Porsches, dating from 1954 to 2016, and loving the speed and reliability of those German machines.

Previously, the two members of the Porsche Club of America PCA drove a Porsche 911 Cabriolet in the Tour. This year they are bringing a 2016 Porsche GT4 and will be splitting the driving and co-driving duties. As the company slogan used to say – Porsche, there is no substitute. One could say the same about Targa Newfoundland.

The team name, Berbec, is a combination of the places they’ve called home. Both are from Quebec and Marc has lived in Bermuda.

What brings them back to Race the Rock for a third run?

“The organization, the safety, the roads, the speed and the people,” said Patrick. “We are here for the fun and enjoyment of the best road trip!”
