First victory for Becq in the prefinal

Britain’s Callum Ilott (Zanardi / Parilla) succeeded in starting smoothly in the KF3 prefinal, but was closely followed by Gautier Becq (Sodi / Parilla) who was having a beautiful weekend. Gabriel Aubry (Birel / TM) was third close to Becq. A collision at the first corner eliminated Julé, Elpitiya and Defourny.

On lap six, Becq and Aubry passed Ilott, Paolo Besancenez (Sodi / Parilla) returned to fourth ahead of Arthur Lehouck (Sodi / Parilla), Francois Bécamel (Kosmic / Parilla) and Jeremy Demarque (Sodi / Parilla). Ilott retook Aubry for second. Lehouck lost places and Julien Darras (Tony Kart / Parilla) went into seventh position. Ilott improved his time several laps in a row while preparing for an attack on Becq, while Besancenez approached the top three.

Ilott found a gap on Becq after 13 of the 17 laps of the race, and Aubry took the opportunity to close up. Becq was back in the lead wattack attack at the last corner, so Ilott had to settle for second place ahead of Aubry, who set the fastest race lap. Besancenez was fourth, Bécamel fifth, Demarque 6th, Darras 7th.

Updated: Becq was penalized 5 places for an early start. Ilott will start on pole for the final with Aubry at his side.
