This weekend, the 3rd race of Winter French Nationals was held in Pierrelatte. I entered the race in the TC Modified and Formula 1 classes.
In Touring car, my T4 2015 was very good from the first practice with a very good pace and consistency. Qualification started with a TQ for me and 4 second places behind Alexandre Laurent (XRAY T4 2015) who took the overall TQ. Alexandre took the win in the first 2 finals and I took the third one. Podium was completed by Jeremy Limoges in 3rd position, also running XRAY chassis.

In Formula 1, the start of the race was harder as it was my first time driving the class, on Saturday it took me some time to find a correct set up and tyres and to find to right pace on Sunday morning for the last 2 qualification to secure overall 2 position behind Jeremy Limoges (XRAY X1)
First final was taken by Jeremy, and I finished second after having to start in the middle of the group after a mistake in the early laps.
I took the second final after a great 8 minute fight with Jeremy.
Third final was taken by Jeremy to secure the overall win.
