For the seventh consecutive year, the city of La Tuque will be hosting the "12 heures d'endurance de QUAD PRO" at the Gilles Brabant Circuit from the 16 th to the 18 th of May 2008.

In an effort of getting a hold of as many Quebec race enthusiasts as possible, the organizing committee has decided to join two disciplines, being the quad and the endurocross.

The quad will be raced in three waves in teams of two or three pilots with only one vehicle of a minimal engine size of 240 cm3 and of a maximum of 1,000 cm3. The first wave start will be given on the saturday at 13h00 and will end at 17h00. The second wave will begin at 21h00 on saturday as well, and will end at 1h00. Finally, the last wave will start at 12h00 on sunday and will end at 16h00. A total of $20,000.00 will be awarded in bursaries to the participants in this catergory.

All new this year, the organizing committee as well as the major sponsors will be offering a "Miss 12 heures" contest.

The week-end will begin on the friday night with festivities downtown including the presentation of the quad racers and the endurocross team qualifications with the tire changing. The opening night will end with a concert.
