“I’m aiming for the championship in Granby, that’s clear,” he says. I wasn’t that far last season and I think I’m a better driver today. I really have that in mind.”
Roy will be in his third full-time season in modified and he is progressing very quickly. It must be said that he takes the necessary means to develop his talent. Again this summer, he will race like few drivers race in Quebec “If I’m not mistaken, I have 108 races on the schedule. The priority will be the Super DIRTcar series (big block), but I will also do the championships in Drummondville, Plattsburgh, Saint-Marcel and obviously Granby. I have a few events scheduled in the Short Track Super Series as well. Running, running as often as possible, that’s what I love and that’s what it takes from me.”
“A summer like the one that awaits me is a real dream summer for me.”
— Felix Roy
Roy, as we have already talked about in the past, wants to make a living from racing, like an American. Working on his car in the garage during the day, running in the evening, that’s what he loves.
“Above all, this is the life I want to lead.”

Privileged
Félix Roy feels privileged. His father, Martin, who raced in the Canadian NASCAR series and the Xfinity series, allows him to evolve in an environment where budget is not a problem, where he can concentrate solely on his sport. Yes, he is aware of his luck.
“If you only knew how much I respect champions like Steve Bernier, who work like crazy during the day before hitting the track in the evening. My father set up a setup which allows me to think about the races all day long and I greatly appreciate it. But I’m also starting to stick my nose in the side more business of the thing, because I know that it is part of the game and that it’s something I need to learn.”
Félix Roy has a precise career plan. We can’t wait to see, starting Friday at the Autodrome, what will happen regarding his intentions in modified this season.
