Competition

Essay GPO, day 2

KF3 has been dominated by Gabriel Aubry (Birel / TM), even though the British driver Callum Ilott (Zanardi / Parilla) was on pole on Sunday at the French Championship at Essay. Aubry rose to the top of the prefinal ahead of Ilott. The duel quickly petered out in the final, when the British driver was ejected from the track at the first corner. Aubry led every lap, also setting the fastest lap to conclude a perfect weekend. Following a penalty for Bryan Elpitiya for the start of the prefinal, François Becamel and Jules Bollier (Kosmic / Parilla) aimed for second position, but Paolo Besancenez (Sodi / Parilla) and Julien Darras (Tony Kart / Parilla ) were ready to join in the fight. Becamel had a great race in the wake of the leader, and significantly reduced the gap. Darras finally took advantage of Besancenez while Elpitiya was back in fifth position. Aubry, Becamel and Darras were on the podium in that order.

Qualifying, the prefinal and final, Nicolas Gonzales (DR / Vortex) won everything again in KF2 as he did on Saturday. His leadership was never really challenged, although the Belgian Sébastien Bailly (Swiss Hutless / TM) had the fastest time in the final where he finished second, which the same result that he got in the prefinal. Better than before, Pascal Belmaaziz (DR / Vortex) was able to fight in the leading group, including second in the opening laps of the final, and third in both races. Victor Compere (Kosmic / Parilla) and Paul Boutonnet (Tony Kart / Parilla) had some great battles in the top 5 to the benefit of Compere, fourth twice ahead of Boutonnet. Sixth in the Prefinal, Valentin Moineault (Tony Kart / Vortex) was unlucky this weekend. He was pushed into a spin at the start of the final, which forced him to rise from last to 7th place.

There were only four in KZ2 on Sunday, Charles Fiault preferring to ensure the victory of his team at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Nolan Mantione (Birel / TM) won the final, after taking a penalty for a jumped start during the Prefinal where he had crossed the line ahead. Victorious in the Prefinal, Christophe Benoit (Birel / TM) was kept constantly on his heels and resisting the threat of the more precise Amos Mechoulam (DR / TM) who finished third.
