Bianchi, the hero of Saturday

Sebastien Bourdais won the repechage from Robert Wickens. There was a big fight between Franck Montagny and Jerome D’Ambrosio which finished to the benefit of the Belgian driver on the line and top three qualified for the finals of ERDF Kart Masters on Saturday. After unbearable suspense, the audience greeted the qualification of Montagny with in excess of 100 dB encouragement.

Sébastien Ogier and Jean-Eric Vergne were ahead at the start of the Stars final, but he rubbed against the Red Bull driver on the 2nd lap and was out in the Tecpro. Vergne moved to the front and took off, but his machine was affected by a power problem. Meanwhile, Stéphane Sarrazin and Jules Bianchi were fighting, Bianchi pulled off incredible braking so was able to drop Sarrazin. Bianchi increased the pace and closed the gap on the leader who tried everything on a damaged kart, so much so that he went wide which let Bianchi past.

Bianchi added his name to the new honours list of the ERDF Kart Masters, JEV took the second step of the podium and Stephane Sarrazin the third. But the party continues on Sunday with a program similar to Saturday which will offer great opportunities for revenge …
