Author of three podiums since the start of the season, Samuel Peu (208) had a solid first day on the Kerlabo circuit. The reigning French Champion won Q1 before taking second place in Q2 during a day contested on a dry track. A consistency which allowed him to take control of the Supercar Ranking on the evening of the first day. Philippe Maloigne (Clio 5) was ahead of Damien Meunier (Polo).
Very fast on a Kerlabo circuit which is close to his heart, Fabien Pailler (208) was disqualified from Q1 before setting the best time in Q2. The Breton was therefore in 13th place this Saturday evening.

Announced candidate for the Junior title, Tom Le Jossec (Clio 5) was clearly the fastest during this first day, beating his rivals by almost three seconds during the two qualifying heats. Mathieu Fretin (Clio 5) and Luc Derrien (Clio 5), both credited with the same number of points, took the provisional podium.

Undisputed leaders

At the top of the French Women's Cup, Amélie Moliexe (Twingo R1 RX) confirmed her status by occupying the top of the ranking at the end of the two qualifying rounds. Consistent, Emma Chalvin (Twingo R1 RX) was ahead of Marine Danveau (Twingo R1 RX) for the provisional Top 3.

Winner of the first two races of the season in D3, Nicolas Beauclé (Mercede Classe A) monopolized the victories during the two “qualifying” with Alexandre Janot (Audi S1) still placed in his wake. Thomas Fretin (DS 3) joining the leading trio with a 4th time in Q2.

Jean-François Blaise (Clio 4) established himself as the boss of the D4 by scoring the maximum number of points. Christophe Barbier (DS 3) and Arthur Barbault-Forget (208) did not hide their ambitions by finishing in the Top 3 before heading into the last day of racing.
