Victim ofA touch when returning to the paddock on Saturday evening, Damien Chamberod was finally at the start on Sunday morning. From the start of the day, the Grenoble driver hit the nail on the head before skipping the third round, the fault of recalcitrant steering on his Nova Proto NP01 Turbo, then climbing slowly during the last climb of the day. The essential having been done earlier, it is he who wins in Dunières.

Billy Ritchen, yet trvery fast throughout the weekend, failed in second place on the V8 version of the formidable machine born in the South West of France. And in a hurry, Cyrille Frantz grabs third place on the podium at the expense of Fabien Bourgeon, who went out quite seriously after the finish of the third climb.
