Michel Sallenbach, CTCC Touring Car Champion

There is no harder working person in the CTCC, Michel Sallenbach is no prima donna driver, he gets stuck in with the Team Octane crew and does what needs to be done. 2016 saw Michel earn his second Touring class title; it would be the first for his R58 MINI Coupe. Will he be back for more? You bet he will although he does intend to spend part of the summer cycling with his wife Alyne. What a nice guy! Sallenbach the Roxton Pond, QC resident finished the year with 1912 points ahead of Jon Young of M&S Racing who collected 1743 points. Paul Gravel with a second Team Octane MINI made it two out of three when he finished third with 1597 points. It is with great interest all of us here at MotorWerks Magazine awaits the unveiling of Octane’s F56 racer. Soon there may be two teams to cheer for in the Continental Sportscar Challenge, but we will just have to wait and see.
