Junior Max: Jaiden Pope the leader in a clearly advantaged group!

With the number of entries, 72, the Juniors were divided into two groups for Qualifying: even and odd. Unfortunately, the first started just after the Minis, while the second group was able to benefit from the rubber deposits of drivers in their category. A difference of about 3 tenths was observed.

The fastest in Group 1 with 53″250, the Briton Samuel Harrison was only 17th in the overall standings, and there was also a blow for the top Frenchman, Dylan Léger, 5th in his timed session, but only 25th overall.

At the top of the table were the drivers of Group 2, with two Australians in the top places: Jaiden Pope (52″967) ahead of William Seal. The Mexican Noel Leon was 3rd less than a tenth behind, ahead of the Dane Riis Mads and the Canadian Thomas Nepveu, who has raced this season with the official Birel ART OK-Junior team.

Marcus Amand is the best French driver in 18th position, as Cesar Gazeau, initially 13th, found himself 36th because of a penalty for having crossed the line at the pits. There was disappointment too for Esteban Masson (33rd), although fast in free practice.
