Autodrome Montmagny, located in the scenic city of Montmagny, which is 45 minutes East of the Quebec city bridges, will host 4 Championship races as well.  The 3/8 mile oval will host events on June 9th and 24th, July 21st, and September 1st.

Marc Patrick Roy, the Managing director for Série ACT is pleased with the schedule, but his work is not completed: "The drivers and spectators had asked for more events than we did in 2017.  We listened.  Also, I am pleased to say that our schedule is harmonized with the ACT Late Model Tour (US Tour), a driver, if he wanted to, could race in 18 events in 2018.  But the planning work for 2018 is not finished.  We need to complete our sponsorship deals and while we do that, we also continue to work on the possibility of having a 10th event on the schedule.  More news will be released prior to the New Year as it becomes available."
