HELP THE DOCUMENTARY FILM

The support of the motorsport community is essential to the realization of this historic documentary, in order to promote the film worldwide.

As the youtube channel is already followed by a passionate international audience, we see the importance of making this a full documentary, fulfilling the desire of thousands of fans.

What is the documentary's format and style?

This historical documentary is scheduled to run 90 minutes. Two versions are available: the original French version and an English dubbed version. The film adopts a stylistic approach combining photographs, in-depth interviews with key players and exclusive use of archival footage. This blend aims to capture the history, heritage, thrill and passion of the event.

Who's behind the project?

The film is directed by Louis-Nicolas Thiffault, a video production professional with 27 years' experience. His father, Jean Thiffault, was one of the founding members of the C.A.M., which created the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières. For this project, he has surrounded himself with Jacques Deshaies, an experienced producer, renowned sports journalist and former driver, as well as a team of collaborators specialized in history and motor sport.

Why is this project important to the world of motor sport?

This project is of particular importance to the world of motorsport, as it contributes to the preservation of an essential part of its history in Quebec. By retracing almost a century of significant events and emblematic figures, this documentary plays an active part in passing on this collective memory to future generations. It is also part of a current trend that values historical narratives and nostalgia. Driven by a personal and authentic approach, the film also draws on its director's own family archives and memories, lending the whole a singular human depth and emotional impact.

How did the idea for this project come about?

The idea for this documentary took root in 1997, when Louis-Nicolas Thiffault discovered an impressive archive following the death of his father Jean Thiffault: several thousand photos, reels of 8mm and 16mm film, and rare documents relating to the early days of the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières.

Discussions with his uncle Louis, Jean's brother, led to the desire to keep this heritage alive. Driven by a long-standing passion for motorsport and his father's community involvement, Louis-Nicolas began a film project. Initially focused on his father's friend Gilles Villeneuve, the project evolved in 2020 to refocus on a unique and deeply rooted story: that of the GP3R, at the crossroads of family memory, collective history and Quebec's influence in motorsport.

Why a documentary in addition to the Youtube channel?

Launched in September 2022 with a vignette for the Freddie Hunt special on RDS, the project's YouTube channel quickly became a central lever of development. Since 2023, it has been broadcasting interviews, tributes, historical vignettes and archive races, attracting an engaged community.

With almost 100,000 views and an average of 160 views per day, it confirms the public's interest in this motorsport memoir. The transition to a feature-length film was thus a natural step, to structure and deepen this content into a lasting, coherent work.
