Biography

Charles L'Estage

I am a rally driver from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. I come from a big rally family and I have been passionate about this sport since I was very young.

I made my competition debut in early 2024 in a Ford Focus, with my cousin Juliette L'Estage as co-driver. In our very first season, we won the Quebec title in our class.

In 2025 we moved up to the national level, then switched to the Ford Fiesta R2. We finished the season 3rd in the two-wheel-drive class of the Canadian championship, after only 5 of the 8 events.

Commitment and determination

It runs in the family

This passion was handed down to us by our family. Our parents and grandparents each have an impressive record in the sport, and all of them were named Rookie of the Year in the Canadian championship in their time. They are a constant source of inspiration and encourage us to keep going while proudly carrying the family legacy.

Antoine L'Estage, Juliette's father and Charles's uncle, is a true legend of the sport: 10 Canadian championship titles, 7 North American titles and 1 title in the United States (Rally America).
