Though he won both championships with relative ease, St. Laurent realized that the comparative dearth of quality and prestige of the series he had been competing in had begun to hinder his future prospects. Consequently, St. Laurent made preparations for a move to the United Kingdom, widely considered as the center of the racing world, in an effort to further his career.

== Junior Career ==


St. Laurent soon discovered the difficulties of finding a drive as a foreign transplant in the highly competitive European racing environment. Desperate, he placed an advertisement in the classifieds section of a local Cambridgeshire newspaper for his services, fully expecting to be ignominiously demoted back to karting. Much to his surprise, however, the listing yielded a response from Plus One's Reject Development Series team, offering St. Laurent the seat recently vacated by the outgoing [[Jack Connolly]]. Leaping at the opportunity, St. Laurent thus found himself in the cockpit of a Plus One RDS car, with effectively no experience with the new equipment.

Following extensive discussions with his doctors and his physical therapist, St. Laurent returned to the cockpit for Vallelunga, where he wrestled with both the new machine itself as well as an uncompetitive PORE setup. Nonetheless, St. Laurent quickly recovered, scoring a fifth place and a podium at Oulton Park, before eventually taking his first victory in the series in Germany. Poor qualifying results and further setup issues conspired against a repetition of St. Laurent's impressive end to the 2016 season; he finished outside of the points for all three of the remaining races.

'''2018'''
After two impressive - although incomplete - campaigns in F1RDS/AR 2.0E, St. Laurent was promoted to AutoReject 3.5 for the [[2018 AutoReject 3.5 season|2018 season]], driving for [[Peak Aeroracing Engineering]]. St. Laurent's season would end prematurely after suffering a season-ending injury in the Dutch feature race. St. Laurent returned to AutoReject 2.0 in 2019.
'''2019'''
After a part season in AR3.5, St. Laurent would return to 2.0 in order to return to full fitness after his season ending injury. St. Laurent would join the [[Driver Performance Laboratory]] team for the [[2019 AutoReject 2.0 season|2019]] season, and would immediately show his class by winning the feature races of both the opening rounds. In the end, St. Laurent took a total of five race victories during the season, clinching the title on the final weekend of the season as a result of winning the feature race in Portugal.
St. Laurent's good form earned him a test with [[2019 IndyCar Series|IndyCar]] team [[Andretti Herta Autosport]] at the [[2019 Mid-Ohio Young Drivers' Test]] in July.
'''2021'''
The [[Leonhard von Gottorp]] scandal resulted in St. Laurent being forced back to his native Canada to continue racing, as numerous feeder series were cancelled outright due to the fallout. Still, he would return to international competition for 2021 with [[HYPERNOVA Racing]]. Unfortunately, the team struggled to get to grips with the Dallara T21, with points being a rarity all year for the team. Regardless, St. Laurent still managed to showcase his talent by recording the fastest lap in 2 separate races, and scoring all 7 of the teams' points that season.
== Kahama ==
===2022===
St. Laurent's performances and resilience had impressed many over his junior career, including [[Kay Lon]], whose [[Best In The World]] organisation held a stake in HYPERNOVA, and who used the 2021 season as a method to formally evaluate the Canadian's true ability. The organisation had seen enough during St. Laurent's season that they felt comfortable moving him up to compete in the [[GTC World Cup]] for the [[2022 GTC World Cup season|2022]] season with [[Team Kahama|Bentley Team Kahama]], as a promotion further up the single-seaters was not feasible as the [[AutoReject World Series]] was still out of commission at this time. St. Laurent would be called on to be the team's lead driver that season, and rewarded Kahama's faith in him by quickly collecting his first podium in Germany.
===2023===
As [[2023 AutoReject World Series|2023]] would see the return of the ARWS, St. Laurent was the natural pick for Bentley and Kahama's entry into the series, partnering Kay Lon. Although his debut in Monaco would see an early retirement, St. Laurent would quickly see success regardless, as he followed Lon home to secure Kahama's first 1-2 in ARWS. St. Laurent then added two further podiums and earned many plaudits on his way to 6th in the Drivers Championship, despite giving up his seat to [[Zaituni Dileita]] at the season-closing Macau Grand Prix.
===2024===
St. Laurent's contract would be renewed with Bentley for 2024, as driver and team looked to improve on a promising debut season.

Pierre St. Laurent (born 22nd February, 1999), is a Canadian racing driver currently competing in the AutoReject World Series. He is well known for bouncing back after a life-threatening crash at the Motegi oval in 2016 to win in AutoReject 2.0 8 months later, and for being the 2019 AR2.0 champion.

Early Life

St. Laurent was born and raised in the Canadian city of Shawinigan, Quebec. Having been brought up on accounts of the legendary Grand Prix driver, Gilles Villeneuve, the young Canadian resolved to follow in the footsteps of his esteemed predecessor.

In spite of the unenviable finances of his family, the young St. Laurent ultimately managed to convince his parents to purchase a dilapidated go-kart from the local scrapyard, and subsequently began competing in local karting events at the age of nine. St. Laurent found success immediately, with many observers noting his natural aptitude behind the wheel. His ability enabled him to quickly dominate a variety of regional and national karting championships before he progressed up to the Ontario Formula Ford Championship and the Quebec Formula Tour 1600.

Though he won both championships with relative ease, St. Laurent realized that the comparative dearth of quality and prestige of the series he had been competing in had begun to hinder his future prospects. Consequently, St. Laurent made preparations for a move to the United Kingdom, widely considered as the center of the racing world, in an effort to further his career.

Junior Career

St. Laurent soon discovered the difficulties of finding a drive as a foreign transplant in the highly competitive European racing environment. Desperate, he placed an advertisement in the classifieds section of a local Cambridgeshire newspaper for his services, fully expecting to be ignominiously demoted back to karting. Much to his surprise, however, the listing yielded a response from Plus One's Reject Development Series team, offering St. Laurent the seat recently vacated by the outgoing Jack Connolly. Leaping at the opportunity, St. Laurent thus found himself in the cockpit of a Plus One RDS car, with effectively no experience with the new equipment.

2016

St. Laurent enjoyed a very respectable start to his RDS career, qualifying sixth and finishing eighth on his debut. His inexperience soon became evident, however, as he struggled with consistency and car set-up throughout the season. Largely due to these difficulties, he was decisively beaten by his Swiss team-mate, Daniela Anger.

Nevertheless, the Canadian still managed to impress with two very strong drives into the points, with a fourth place at Oulton Park serving as the highlight of his year. A second place finish at the Macau Grand Prix capped off a robust end to the season for St. Laurent.

In post-season testing, St. Laurent set a time six tenths off the pace on Day One, before topping the timesheets for both sessions on Day Two.

Accident at Motegi

Under contractual obligations to PORE, St. Laurent raced in the inaugural season of the Formula Rejects Nippon Championship, where he struggled with an uncompetitive car. He was outperformed by his more experienced teammate, Josh Carlisle, on most occasions.

St. Laurent found himself running strongly at Motegi when, completely unsighted, the Mazda of Joel Melrose speared into the side of St. Laurent's Swift at well over two hundred and forty kilometers an hour, sending the stricken Canadian into the wall at a near ninety degree angle. Unconscious, St. Laurent was airlifted to Motegi General Hospital, where he was diagnosed with and treated for a severe concussion and a shattered femur. Under medical orders, St. Laurent was sidelined from racing for the next six months, dashing his hopes of challenging for the AR 2.0 Europe title before the season had even begun.

2017

Following extensive discussions with his doctors and his physical therapist, St. Laurent returned to the cockpit for Vallelunga, where he wrestled with both the new machine itself as well as an uncompetitive PORE setup. Nonetheless, St. Laurent quickly recovered, scoring a fifth place and a podium at Oulton Park, before eventually taking his first victory in the series in Germany. Poor qualifying results and further setup issues conspired against a repetition of St. Laurent's impressive end to the 2016 season; he finished outside of the points for all three of the remaining races.

2018

After two impressive - although incomplete - campaigns in F1RDS/AR 2.0E, St. Laurent was promoted to AutoReject 3.5 for the 2018 season, driving for Peak Aeroracing Engineering. St. Laurent's season would end prematurely after suffering a season-ending injury in the Dutch feature race. St. Laurent returned to AutoReject 2.0 in 2019.

2019

After a part season in AR3.5, St. Laurent would return to 2.0 in order to return to full fitness after his season ending injury. St. Laurent would join the Driver Performance Laboratory team for the 2019 season, and would immediately show his class by winning the feature races of both the opening rounds. In the end, St. Laurent took a total of five race victories during the season, clinching the title on the final weekend of the season as a result of winning the feature race in Portugal.

St. Laurent's good form earned him a test with IndyCar team Andretti Herta Autosport at the 2019 Mid-Ohio Young Drivers' Test in July.

2021

The Leonhard von Gottorp scandal resulted in St. Laurent being forced back to his native Canada to continue racing, as numerous feeder series were cancelled outright due to the fallout. Still, he would return to international competition for 2021 with HYPERNOVA Racing. Unfortunately, the team struggled to get to grips with the Dallara T21, with points being a rarity all year for the team. Regardless, St. Laurent still managed to showcase his talent by recording the fastest lap in 2 separate races, and scoring all 7 of the teams' points that season.

Kahama

2022

St. Laurent's performances and resilience had impressed many over his junior career, including Kay Lon, whose Best In The World organisation held a stake in HYPERNOVA, and who used the 2021 season as a method to formally evaluate the Canadian's true ability. The organisation had seen enough during St. Laurent's season that they felt comfortable moving him up to compete in the GTC World Cup for the 2022 season with Bentley Team Kahama, as a promotion further up the single-seaters was not feasible as the AutoReject World Series was still out of commission at this time. St. Laurent would be called on to be the team's lead driver that season, and rewarded Kahama's faith in him by quickly collecting his first podium in Germany.

2023

As 2023 would see the return of the ARWS, St. Laurent was the natural pick for Bentley and Kahama's entry into the series, partnering Kay Lon. Although his debut in Monaco would see an early retirement, St. Laurent would quickly see success regardless, as he followed Lon home to secure Kahama's first 1-2 in ARWS. St. Laurent then added two further podiums and earned many plaudits on his way to 6th in the Drivers Championship, despite giving up his seat to Zaituni Dileita at the season-closing Macau Grand Prix.

2024

St. Laurent's contract would be renewed with Bentley for 2024, as driver and team looked to improve on a promising debut season.
