Arzeno leads the Clio R3s

With three best times on the clock and a 13th place overall, Mathieu Arzeno presented this evening in Valencia at the head of the Clio R3 European Trophy with 1'40" ahead of the Italian Matteo Gamba: "The most difficult moment of the day was SS2, since we spun twice. I didn't feel the brakes well, but we found the solution. During the second loop the car was doing very well. There was a lot of fog in the last special, we had to concentrate 200% on the notes. Tomorrow I know the roads, so I know what to expect. »

The winner of the 3 Clio R2009 European Trophy, Kris Princen, was third. While remaining cautious, the Belgian dislodged Jan Cerny from the provisional podium during the last special of the day. After the retirement of Robert Kubica the day before, Éric Mauffrey (accessory belt) and Giusepe Freguglia (off the road) in turn capitulated today.
