We will add to this official FormulaD press release that during DMCC round 1 in Montmagny, judge Alex Pfeiffer testdrove DMCC driver Kevin Grenier's car into the wall destroying 75% of the the left side suspension, body and frame.
Kevin had a hard time rebuilding the car for the competition that day. Pfeiffer was not present for judging DMCC during round 2 event...and now he wants to return to driving...better practice with your own car buddy !
