CD Sport wins at Magny-Cours

CD Sport where the art of bouncing. Without a clutch after testing on Friday, CD Sport rebuilt the Mercedes and took pole and victory in the first race of the weekend.

Le duo a réalisé la course parfaite. Dès le départ, il s’est envolé et n’avait qu’une idée en tête : creuser un maximum l’écart pour se mettre  l’abri des Pro-AM, qui passent dix secondes de moins aux stands. Pendant ce temps là,  Fabien Michal, leader du Pro-AM, se battait avec la Toyota Gazoo Racing by CMR d’Aurélien Panis à la troisième place, sans pouvoir dépasser.

When the pit lane opened, Edouard Benezet left the track at the wheel of theAlpine of CMR. We feared a safety car, which ultimately did not come out.

For the leaders, this is where everything was at stake. Thanks to a careful strategy, CD Sport came out just ahead of Grégory Guilvert in the Saintéloc Racing Audi. The BMW of the Espace Bienvenue, however, came out third ahead of theAlpine Bodemer Auto of Grégoire Demoustier and Alain Ferté, second in Pro-AM.

The car lost two places overall against the Mercedes AKKA-ASP of Thomas Drouet and Paul Petit and the Toyota. But the main thing remained the Pro-AM. 

The last twist was Nicolas' collision Cheers who lost his hood and at the same time third place in Pro-AM, to the benefit of Eric Debart and Simon Gachet in the Saintéloc Racing Audi.

Note that theAston Martin from AGS Events started at the back of the grid following his penalty from Nogaro and still finished fifteenth.

In the Am category, Sylvain Caroff and Erwan Bastard won at the wheel of the Ginetta of the ANS Motorsport team and took a good eighth place overall.
