And suddenly, something rare enough to be recounted, the Spa-Francorchamps press room stood up and applauded. When Julien Andlauer overtook Brendon Hartley in Raidillon, a little less than an hour and fifteen minutes from the checkered flag, loud cheers replaced the frantic tapping of computer keyboards. It must be said that the 24-year-old driver was not his first attempt. A little earlier in the race, Alex Lynn (Cadillac), Paul-Loup Chatin (Alpine), Kamui Kobayashi (Toyota) and Frédéric Makowiecki (Porsche) have all suffered the law of the champion of the Porsche Carrera Cup France 2017. With the common denominator of the attacks carried out on the famous climb of Eau Rouge. Overtaking whose “source” was at the previous hairpin… and shit
