Maxime Fortin

Originaire de Saint-Georges, en Beauce, Maxime carbure aux sports motorisés et à l’adrénaline depuis son enfance. À l’âge de 7 ans, il reçoit son premier quad, ce qui marque le début d’une passion intense pour les véhicules tout-terrain. Son expérience en course le dirige naturellement vers son diplôme en mécanique de véhicules de loisirs et travaille pendant plus de dix ans pour un concessionnaire local. Son amour pour l’aventure l’amène ensuite à explorer les sentiers avec sa conjointe à bord d’un véhicule côte-à-côte. Depuis plus de dix ans, Maxime roule également sur les circuits de motocross en famille, une autre facette de sa passion. En 2021, sa conjointe et lui se lancent dans l’univers de la motoneige de sentier. À ce jour, ils accumulent déjà plus de 25 000 km ensemble. Cette nouvelle activité est devenue une véritable passion commune. Maxime adore partager ses connaissances techniques et son engouement pour les véhicules à moteur, qu’il considère comme un réel mode de vie. Sa soif de sensations fortes et son enthousiasme débordant continuent d’inspirer ceux qui croisent sa route.
