At 14:00 p.m. sharp, the 27 Lamera Cup cars attacked the first race of the Lamera Cup meeting in Nogaro (Gers).

While thunder rolls in the distance suggested the onset of rain, the track is dry and should remain so until the checkered flag.

Very quickly, the No. 80 Lamera from Continental Racing driven by Gregory Fargier sets its pace and widens the gap over the No. 73 from L'Auto Leclerc. Unfortunately, the leader made a mistake shortly before reaching the first hour of the race. Immobilized in a gravel trap which involves the appearance of the safety car, she will start from 1th row to begin an impressive comeback.

After 120 minutes of racing, the #80 is already in 7th position but 3 laps behind the #73 (L'Auto Leclerc). At the end of the 2nd hour of the race, with Emmanuel Orgeval at the wheel, it is 1 lap ahead of the No. 62 (Team Lamera) driven, for the moment, by Pierre Cousnon.

In the Pro-Am category, it is No. 15 (Race Track Competition) which firmly leads the way with a nice 5th place in the general classification. On the gentlemen's side, it is the No. 50 of Fast Kukki Racing which occupies 1st position while being 8th in the general classification.
