The 3rd round for French Nationals was held this weekend on the very nice and technical Astroturf track in Maisons Alfort close to Paris. This event was full again with 150 drivers registered.
In 4wd, the car was quick and easy from the start and I have been fighting in front from the beginning and I was improving heat after heat. I managed to TQ the 3rd and 5th round of qualification with best overall time which allowed me to secure TQ. Julian Ferrandis also with his XRAY XB4 2015 made a 5th position in qualification after a very good last round with a 2nd position, he will finish 5th overall in Final.

In final, we had a great battle with Ludovic Valtier and Nicolas Risser. I was leading the first final but made a small mistake which allow Nico Risser to pass me in the last lap and I ended up 2nd. I won the second final in front of Ludo Valtier and Nico Risser.
In the 3rd final, I finish 3rd after starting in front but I made another mistake which allowed Ludovic and Nicolas to pass me. Overall, this gave me the 3rd position after great battles.
This track was very interesting and very hard, it was very difficult to make clean runs for everyone.
