Alpine Europa Cup – Ugo de Wilde wins in Portimão, Jean-Baptiste Mela titled

THEAlpine Europa Cup delivered its verdict in Portimão (Portugal). The three-way duel for the title between Ugo de Wilde (Herrero Racing), Lilou Wadoux (Patrice Roger Autosport GP) and Jean-Baptiste Mela (Autosport GP) was won by the latter, already champion last year.

Following the victory of Lilou Wadoux, first woman to win a race in Alpine Europe Cup, it was Ugo de Wilde who first crossed the finish line this morning. The Belgian thus won the Junior category. He beat Lilou Wadoux and Jean-Baptiste Mela, whose third place was enough to enjoy a second title in a row. Everything could have been called into question from the first corner following contact between Mela and… his teammate Simon Tirman! Laurent Hurgon and Louis Méric finished just off the podium.
