PCCF – Magny-Cours: Klein wins an 8-minute race

Marvin Klein won a funny race. Interrupted for several minutes following a big accident at the start of the race, the CLRT resident managed the restart perfectly to calmly win ahead of Alessandro Ghiretti (Martinet by Alméras) and Bastian Buus (Allied Racing).

At the start, a big clash from the first moments of the race which put 5 competitors out of the race. The Safety Car immediately enters the track and the drivers go through the pit lane because the debris is too heavy on the start/finish straight. Ugo Gazil, 3rd on the grid, appears not to have started and to have been hit by the drivers arriving behind him. Among those who retire, we find the CLRT driver, Victor Blugeon (ABM), the Pro-Am poleman Maxence Maurice (IMSA Performance), Christophe Stone (Pierre Martinet by Alméras) and Sébastien Dussolliet (ABM), in pole position in the Am category. The wrecks are removed by the tow trucks while the rest of the peloton continues to follow the safety car. 

After 22 minutes, the race is finally stopped with 8 minutes of racing remaining. The red flag comes out and the drivers stop at the end of the pit lane. The C1 leaves around ten minutes later behind the safety car, the race time is rearranged, there are 10 minutes of racing remaining. The green flag is waved, only 5 minutes 30 left to cover. Marvin Klein (CLRT) surprises Alessandro Ghiretti (Martinet by Alméras) and immediately takes the lead. Behind Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) must defend against Bastian Buus (Allied Racing). The No. 19 locks his wheels and the two drivers touch each other. Behind, Evan Spenle (CLRT) was on the verge of spinning but recovered his car at the last minute.

Louis Perrot goes out into the gravel trap on the next lap and crosses the track. Mathieu Martins arrives at full speed but the Martinet by Alméras driver narrowly avoids him. At the same time, Bastian Buus (Allied Racing) passes with authority over Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) and closes the door. The Martinet by Alméras driver is in difficulty, he is under pressure from Evan Spenle (CLRT) and Alexander Tauscher (Allied Racing).

Marvin Klein quietly passes under the checkered flag, ahead of Alessandro Ghiretti and Bastian Buus. In Pro-Am, 5th victory in as many races for Jérôme Boullery (Racing Technology). He is ahead of Sylvain Noël (Racing Technology) and Clément Mateu (CLRT). In Am, Sébastien Poisson won his first victory in PCCF. The ABM driver dominates Stéphane Louard (ABM) and Patrick Charlaix (TFT Racing).
