IAME Lyon: Victorious revenge for Bollier in Junior

It was almost sunny, and in any case the drivers were on slicks for the X30 Junior final. Amaury Bonduel (ART GP) started impeccably, but Matteo Raspatelli (Kosmic) was ejected at the first corner along with other drivers. Bonduel escaped immediately ahead of Jules Bollier (Kosmic), Arthur Lehouck (Tony Kart), Matheus Leist (LH), Jean-Noël Sarfati (Tony Kart), Julien Andlauer (OK1) and Maxime Potty (Kosmic). Bonduel made a mistake but still retained some of his lead before being taken by Bollier. The top two were chased by Lehouck, then the peloton was led by Andlauer, Leist, and Potty … slightly behind.

Bollier led the race, Bonduel was behind by 5 tenths. Andlauer was back in third place with Lehouck and Potty after him. Andlauer passed Lehouck in the parabolic, and defended by braking late into the hairpin. Potty was now just behind Andlauer two laps from the end. But Lehouck was attacking and returned to 4th.

It was a flawless victory for Jules Bollier, the fastest driver in the race, taking his revenge for the 2012 event, second was Amaury Bonduel and third was Julien Andlauer.
