Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières

The Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières usually anchors the height of summer in August, often unfolding across multiple days of on-track action at Circuit Trois-Rivières on the Terrain de l'Exposition in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. You can expect a dense schedule of national and support series, tight turns, and the famous Porte Duplessis pinch that makes this North American street circuit feel larger than life. Summers here are warm and lively, with long daylight hours that suit outdoor grandstands, vendor areas, and strolls along the river between sessions. Trois-Rivières sits between Montreal and Quebec City, so pairing the race with a longer Quebec loop is natural, whether you prefer full-hookup campgrounds or quieter rural stops a short drive out. An RV works beautifully for this event because you control your rhythm after long days of noise and crowds, keep snacks and cold drinks on hand, and avoid last-minute hotel searches when the city is in race mode. You can stage outside the tightest downtown blocks yet still reach Circuit Trois-Rivières quickly when practice starts, which matters when streets close around the fairgrounds. Splitting fuel and site fees across friends often beats booking multiple hotel rooms during a sold-out weekend. Many renters treat the rig as a rolling lounge, a climate-controlled break from sun and showers, and a shared home base while you explore Mauricie before green flags fly. That mix of flexibility, comfort, and community is why motorsport fans keep choosing RV travel for GP3R.
