FFSA GT – BMW achieves the double with Johais and Piguet

Started once again on pole in Race 2 of the FFSAGT at Magny-Cours (Nièvre), the No. 4 BMW M9 of BMW Team France driven by Julien Piguet and Frédéric Johais once again won at the end of an event again interrupted by a red flag. The Propeller car remained untouchable on the Nivernais circuit and became the first car to remain undefeated at a meeting.

La lutte pour la deuxième place a offert un superbe duel entre les Porsche Cayman n°18 Martinet by Almeras de Hassid-Palette et n°30 CD Sport de Vannelet-Parisy. La voiture des prétendants au titre a pourtant abandonné suite à un contact entre Henry Hassid et Gilles Vannelet lorsque le premier cité a tenté une manoeuvre, mais le drapeau rouge qui a suivi a permis à l’équipage de CD Sport de sauver sa place sur le podium et de reprendre la tête du Championnat Pro-Am face à Robert Consani et Benjamin Lariche dont la Ginetta G55 n°8 Speed Car s’est classée 6e après s’être élancée de la sixième ligne.

Energy by ART completed the top five with the McLaren 570S n°3 of Hernandez-Gachet and the Porsche n°4 of Ferté-Demoustier.

CMR had high hopes of fighting for victory with the No. 26 Ginetta of Ayari-Tardif, but Soheil Ayari quickly retired with a mechanical problem. The No. 22 Martinet by Almeras Porsche from Beltoise-Estèves was also unable to finish the race following contact.

The results remain provisional due to several investigations by commissioners.
