A substantial starting grid in Dijon-Prenois

The third round of the French Championship FFSAGT will take place from July 13 to 15 on the Dijon-Prenois circuit (Côte-d'Or). On this occasion, there will be no less than 41 GT4s to do battle!

Large leaders in the Pro-Am ranking, Robert Consani and Benjamin Lariche (Ginetta) are 35 points ahead of the duo Jean-Luc Beaubelique-Jim Pla (Akka-ASP). The championship presenters will obviously be present on the old route of Formula 1.

Among the new features, we note the arrival ofAlpine. Two A110 GT4s will be incubated by the CMR team, one for Nicolas Tardif and Soheil Ayari (25th overall), the other for Stéphane Tribaudini and Pierre-Alexandre Jean (11th). The French car is powered by a 4-liter turbocharged 1,8-cylinder unit whose power is increased to between 330 and 360 horsepower according to the Balance of Performance (BoP).

Another notable arrival, the Vendéen Thomas Laurent will make his first Grand Touring race in the company of Yvan Muller Racing and a Mercedes-AMG. The recent Third of the latest 24 Hours of Le Mans (Sarthe) accompanied by Matthias Beche and Gustavo Menezes on a non-hybrid Rebellion R13 LM P1, Thomas Laurent will exceptionally replace Yann Ehrlacher.

Saintéloc Racing will field another Audi R8 GT4 for the pair Bruno Hernandez-Simon Gachet. The seven-time French Mountain Champion Nicholas Schatz will test the circuit with a Ginetta from his own team (Schatz-Lestienne). The Racing Technology team, seen in 2017, returns with two Porsche Cayman, one in Pro-Am (Sylvain Noël-Jimmy Antunes), the other in Am (Pascal Huteau-Jean-Luc Deblangey).

In the class reserved for amateurs, the melodious Maserati GranTurismo from the GP34 by Gemo team makes its return (Arnaud Gomez-Olivier Gomez), as does the KTM X-Bow of Guner Turkmen-Nigel Greensall (Greensall Motorsport), the BMW M4 of Olivier Salam-Bernard Salam (SDA Sport) and the Ginetta G55 of Guillaume Maio-Alexandre Guesdon (GM-Sport).
