By putting their fireproof shoes on the Burgundy asphalt, Emmanuel Orgeval, Adrien Harang and Benoît Gruau had 1625 points in the provisional general classification of the Lamera Cup 2025, 57 points less than their rivals (Grégory Fargier, Pierre Couasnon and Christophe Carrère) on the 80.

In this beautiful battle of wills, the L'Auto Leclerc Lamera 1 didn't even have to offer a comeback, which is its secret. Leading at the halfway point, the Lamera 1 (L'Auto Leclerc) took a fine victory ahead of the CTF Continental Racing machine. But only 34 seconds, over 145 laps, separated the protagonists at the checkered flag. That's how intense the battle was.

« Every victory is good to take ", summarized Manu Orgeval at the finish. "But make no mistake: it's on Sunday, during the 8-hour race, that the vast majority of points will be awarded." Not wrong.

Behind these eternal rivals for the crown, the 74 climbed onto the final step of the podium. In the Pro/Am category, there was a close battle between the 68 (RM Concept), the 5 (Venum by Hedonic) and the 71 (Astonjet), with the cars finishing in 6th, 7th and 8th places respectively. Finally, it was the 44 (Scania by GL Autosport) that won among the Gentlemen, with a narrow lead over the 78 of CTF Gustomobile.

The ranking at the end of the 4 Hours: 1st 1 (L'Auto Leclerc) 145 laps; 2. 80 (CTF Continental Racing) at 34,015 sec; 3. 74 (CTF Challenger) at 1 lap; 4. 26 (3TM62) at 1 lap; 5. 421 (Atrax by Hedonic Racing) at 1 lap; 6th and 1st Pro/Am (RM Concept) at 2 laps; 18th and 1st Gentlemen (44 (Scania by GL Autosport) at 8 laps.
