It's a penalty that didn't come at the right time. Paul Cauhaupé, who was in contention for the 2025 Championship title, had a satisfactory qualification. With the third-fastest time, the Toulouse player could have considered winning the title and scoring vital points in his quest for the championship.

Paul Cauhaupé, who was reprimanded for not respecting track limits, received a third penalty, which resulted in a five-place penalty. This puts the second-place finisher in the championship back in eighth place on the grid for Race 1, which will start this Saturday at 15:35 p.m. Marcus Amand (CLRT) Schumacher) and Louis Perrot (Schumacher CLRT) will occupy the second row of the grid. The ABM rider is forced to move up as much as possible to avoid losing contact with the leaders in the general classification.

Marc Guillot (ABM), Mathys Cappuccio (ABM) and Eric Debard (Debard Automobiles by Racetivity) also received five penalty places.
