Rally

Antoine L'Estage was born into the world of rally. As a young boy, he and his siblings would watch their father compete as a driver. He started racing in 1995 at the Rallye de Quebec in regional events. He won Rookie of the year for the 2001 season for the Canadian Rally Championship. He won the Canadian championship in 2006, 2007, and eight in a row from 2010 to 2017, coming second to Patrick Richard in 2004, 2008 and 2009. In 2011, he broke the record of most wins at Défi St-Agathe Rallye (previously set by John Buffum){{Cite web |url=http://www.flagworld.com/news/?p=24109 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227130722/http://www.flagworld.com/news/?p=24109 |archive-date=2012-02-27 |url-status=dead }} when he won the event for the sixth time in seven years. In 2014 he became the first 7-time champion as well as the first driver in the history of the CRC to win all six events in the same season.{{cite web| url = http://www.cdnrally.com/news/antoine-l-estage-wins-tall-pines-concludes-dominant-season.html| title = Antoine L'Estage Wins Tall Pines, Concludes Dominant Season - CDNRally.com}}

Antoine also competed in the USA-based Rally America series from 2006 to 2015. He won the North American Rally Cup in 2007, 2008, and from 2010 to 2014, coming second to Andrew Comrie-Picard in 2009. In 2010, Antoine ended Travis Pastrana's four-year reign over the Rally America championship. He later claimed the North American and the Canadian Rally Championships and secured the Triple Crown for 2010 by winning all three titles in the same year. In 2011 and 2012 Antoine completed the Rally America series as runner-up behind former British champion David Higgins. In 2013 he rented a MML Sports built WRC-spec Mitsubishi Lancer for the Oregon Trail, resulting in a spectacular crash.{{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jNzl3sCsdQ| title = YouTube| website = YouTube}} He competed three times in Rally Car Racing at X Games. He raced his Hyundai Tiburon for X Games 13, borrowed a Rockstar Energy Subaru for X Games 14, finishing ninth, and then he took his Mitsubishi Evo X to a Bronze medal finish at X Games 16 in 2010.{{cite web| url = https://www.espn.com/action/xgames/summer/2010/rally/news/story?page=summer-x-16-rally-car-racing-results| title = Rally Car Racing| date = 27 July 2010}} He has also been a test driver on a show in Quebec called Le Guide de l'Auto.{{cite web| url = http://www.autonet.ca/lemonde/Accueil.cfm| title = Autonet.ca - Le Monde de l'auto - Le Guide de l'auto| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20051015120411/http://www.autonet.ca/lemonde/Accueil.cfm| archive-date = 2005-10-15}}
