PCCF – Jérôme Boullery: “In my head, I am not the favorite”

At the end of the first day of the 2022 season, Jérôme Boullery was smiling. Second during free practice 2, the Racing Technology driver wishes to qualify this result because he had fitted new tires, a choice not made by all of his opponents. Without getting carried away, the one behind the wheel of the No. 7 is satisfied with this Saturday: “ I like the car as much as last year, I really want to do well. »

Beaten last year by only 15 thousandths by Nicolas Misslin (BWT Lechner Racing), Jérôme Boullery is the most credible candidate to succeed the Monegasque. A status that he absolutely does not think about. “ In my head, I'm not favorite, admits the 2021 vice-champion. My goal is to get the title but I know it's going to be difficult. I have no pressure, I will do everything I can. »

The Racing Technology driver also faces a formidable field in Pro-Am. “ I would have preferred that Nico (Misslin) comes back but all the drivers entered are fast. Christopher Stone is still there, Maxence Maurice and Clément Mateu will also be in the match. And then Sylvain (Christmas) is a worthy adversary. » The latter is none other than his teammate, in addition to being his friend. “ I am a bit the student and he the master, he laughs. He taught me a bit of everything so it’s a lot of fun to ride with him. »

Jérôme Boullery will have the opportunity to face his rivals this Saturday at 11:20 a.m. during qualifying.
