Dayraut flies away, Prost hangs on

After this weekend of competition in Lans-en-Vercors, there will remain two meetings in Andros Trophy, in St Dié des Vosges and in Super Besse. Suffice to say that the results in Lans-en-Vercors will be decisive for the award of the title and, with this in mind, Jean-Philippe Dayraut (Skoda Fabia) continues his faultless journey. “ Four wins in a row, six in nine races, comments the Haut-Garonnais, it is magic ! This is the third in a row with 60kg of ballast, I think it's a first. In the life of a pilot, this doesn?t happen often. We must take advantage. We have hardly touched the car since the start of the season: it works really well. »

As a result, Jean-Philippe Dayraut now has a large lead, 32 points, over Alain Prost, at the head of the Trophy. The Dacia Duster driver recognizes the difficulty of the situation but does not lose hope. “ From an accounting standpoint, this is not a good result, notes the ?Professor?. On the other hand, the engine development brings a real plus. We still have to put everything in order and we will return to victory very soon. »

Before the second race in Lans-en-Vercors, the four-time world champion Formula 1 is optimistic about the evolution of his vehicle. “ Between Isola 2000 and here, in barely a week, we really improved the car, he commented before his final. In the second round we made further adjustments and in the final we will make changes again. In short, we are working, we are moving forward and it will bear fruit. »
