Racing component
This year, the Régates de Valleyfield races, the most awaited event of the Hydroplane Racing League (HRL) circuit, will welcome more than 90 racing teams on July 14, 15 and 16. All classes (JSS, 2.5 liters, Formula 2500, Hydro 350 and Grand Prix) will be presented.
A hydroplane is a plane with its wings removed. To this definition is added a top speed of up to 225 km/h, skidding and extreme sensations. Without a doubt, the Régates de Valleyfield is a unique product in North America.
