PCCF – Portimão: Latorre takes both poles

Florian Latorre has not said his last word for the title. Despite being 44 points behind Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) before the start of the weekend, the CLRT driver still believes in his chances. Author of pole position for the C1 in 1'43”967, he also took first place on the C2 grid with a time of 1'44”110. Behind, the two favorites for the title will start from the same place in both races. 

Marvin Klein (CLRT) scared himself since he only had a very good lap 4 minutes from the end of the session. The 2nd in the championship remained on the track for several minutes without being able to set a time. It was the fault of Arthur Mathieu (Spark) going off the track in the last turn, which required the intervention of the tow truck. Marvin Klein secured his end of qualifying to secure a place on the front row of C1, 81 thousandths behind the leader and in C2, 0”149.

His rival Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) did not do better than 3rd. The 2021 rookie champion failed 255 thousandths behind Florian Latorre for race 1. He still took the two pole positions in the rookie category. 

In Pro-Am, Nicolas Misslin (BWT Lechner Racing) also took the two pole positions. He is ahead of Christophe by 58 thousandths Stone (Pierre Martinet by Alméras) and his main rival Jérôme Boullery (YDEO) by 211 thousandths. The latter ranks 2nd in C2 behind the Monegasque, Christophe Lapierre falls to 3rd place.

Among the Ams, the astonishing Sébastien Dussoliet (ABM) dominates Maxence Maurice (IMSA Performance) and took both pole positions while competing in his 2nd PCCF weekend. Franck Leherpeur (CLRT) ranks 3rd in C1 and 2nd in C2. The second in the Am classification, Tugdual Rabreau (CLRT), is in 3rd position in C2.

The first race of the weekend will take place at 19:20 p.m. French time this Saturday and can be followed on autohebdo.fr.
