In addition to the Frenchman Hugo Chevalier, 3rd in Carrera Cup France, including a victory at Nogaro at the start of the season, some competitors are well known internationally, Ayhancan Güven having won the Porsche Carrera Cup France over the last two years, while shining in 2018 on the FIA GT Nations Cup.
