The fourth round of French nationals took place in Tours in the centre of France. More than 70 drivers were present in 3 different classes: Modified TC, Stock 10.5 Blinky TC and Formula One 21.5.
The track is very specific with different conditions combined on the track: one part cold with a lot of grip and another hot with less grip because of a bridge above the track which cover the half of the track. It was difficult to find a setup that work on both parts to be fast on an entire lap.
During the finals tyre strategy took a great place in touring categories! In Stock class, I was trapped with new tyres which needed another setup compared of used tyres I used in qualifications so I couldnâ™t fight for the first place, I finished 2nd and my brother 3rd. In the second final I had the faster car, I tried during the whole 5 minutes to pass Arnaud but it was impossible! I finished 2nd followed by Romain Delaunay (XRAY). In the third final I was on the first place because Arnaud won the race, my car worked perfectly and I won easily the last final followed by my brother and Julien Nicol (XRAY). In modified, Alexandre Laurent (XRAY) won the first final followed by Thomas Vigneron and Cyril Nâ™Diaye. Leo Arnold won the last two finals and the race in front of Alexandre Laurent (XRAY) and Thomas Vigneron. In formula One, Cyril Nâ™Diaye won the first two finals and the race; Jeremy Limoges (XRAY) won the last final, heâ™s followed by Georges Saux (XRAY).
