PCCF – Barcelona: Double for Ghiretti in C2!

Il a remis ça ce matin ! Alessandro Ghiretti s’est de nouveau imposé à Barcelone. Fort de son succès de la veille, le pilote Martinet by Alméras a parfaitement maîtrisé Dorian Boccolacci puis Marvin Klein pour s’imposer en Catalogne. Sur le podium, le Junior Porsche France 2021 se voit rejoint par les deux CLRT de Benjamin Paque et Dorian Boccolacci. Deuxième sur la ligne, Marvin Klein a été pénalisé pour non-respect des limites de piste.

At the start, pole sitter Alessandro Ghiretti took advantage of his good start to place himself in front of Dorian Boccolacci. The CLRT driver puts pressure on his rival from the first sequences without ever really being able to attack him. In the peloton, excellent start from Louis Rousset. On the outside, the rookie passed Benjamin Paque and Marvin Klein. The latter even finds himself fifth after an average start.

The safety car enters the track following an incident in the peloton which involves Porsche Lorient Racing driver Frédéric Ancel. Twenty minutes from the end, the race resumes. At the restart, Dorian Boccolacci is nestled behind Alessandro Ghiretti's Porsche. The 2022 vice-champion moves outside but goes through the loophole to avoid contact. In third position, Louis Rousset took advantage of the battle between Benjamin Paque and Marvin Klein to get ahead. The Belgian closes all doors to his former teammate. At the hairpin of turn 10, the double reigning champion throws himself inside and takes advantage of the next corner to validate his overtake. 

At halfway, Alessandro Ghiretti is still ahead of Dorian Boccolacci and Louis Rousset. Marvin Klein is fourth just ahead of Benjamin Paque. Louis Perrot fights with Mathys Jaubert for sixth place. In Pro-Am, defending champion Jérôme Boullery leads the category. Sébastien Poisson is the leader among the AMs. Didier Glorieux spins following contact with Maxence Maurice. But the Speed ​​Lover driver can leave without any problem.

The battle at the top is still as hot as ever. Dorian Boccolacci is less than three tenths from the leader while Marvin Klein has returned like a cannonball behind Louis Rousset. Under pressure, the CLRT rookie missed his braking at T7 and went through the gravel. His counterpart from TFT Racing provisionally climbed onto the podium while Benjamin Paque also took the opportunity to gain a position.

Very close to Alessandro Ghiretti, Dorian Boccolacci attempts delayed braking at the turn ten hairpin. The CLRT driver misses it and has to go through the gravel, this gives second place to Marvin Klein and third to Benjamin Paque. The Cannes resident even comes out fifth behind Louis Rousset. In the lead, the Martinet by Alméras driver can breathe a little more even if Marvin Klein gains tenths as the sectors progress.

With great composure, Alessandro Ghiretti won his second success in a row ahead of Benjamin Paque and Dorian Boccolacci. Both CLRT drivers gained a place as Marvin Klein received a five-second penalty for track limits. The TFT Racing driver finally finished just off the podium.

In the Pro-Am, victory for Jérôme Boullery! The reigning champion even finished in the top-10 overall. Marc Guillot (Herrero Racing) scores a second podium for his first weekend in PCCF. Bashar Mardini (Tsunami RT) completes the podium. In Am, Sébastien Poisson won but remains subject to the inspection of his car by the race stewards for non-compliance with the engine. Gilles Colombani (Team Clairet Sport) ranks second, Alexandre Leroy (TFT Racing) is third. Next meeting for the Porsche Carrera Cup France, in two weeks, on the Magny-Cours track (Nièvre)!
