  • Yani Stevenheydens definitely likes Races 2 this year. Victorious in Lédenon (Gard) a fortnight ago, the Belgian signed his second victory of the year, again in a race to the reverse Top 10.
  • Starting in second position behind the United States' Garrett Berry, Yani Stevenheydens appeared threatening in his rival's exhausts until he made it break. Under pressure from the Belgian, Berry gave up his position in the northern chicane after a great offensive from his competitor. From then on, Stevenheydens became master of Race 2.
  • If he had to restart the pack for the last two laps after the impressive accident of Max Reis (rolled over but driver ok), Yani Stevenheydens held on to win two weeks after his first success in F4 France. Kevin Foster completed the podium.
  • For his part, Evan Giltaire continues to gain ground on Enzo Peugeot . Arriving at Le Castellet with a delay of 28 points, the Isarien has only 4 left with one race remaining in the championship.
  • The runner-up in the ranking took advantage of the retirement of Enzo Peugeot, caught in a pile-up, from the start to gain positions and thus move up. Party 10e, he took the checkerboard at 4e place inflicting an 8-0 on his opponent on whom he continues to put pressure. Race 3 (11:00 a.m.) on Sunday promises to be hot, especially since Evan Giltaire will start in pole position. Nothing is done in the fight for the title in F4 France!
