Nogaro – Race 2: First overall victory for CSA Racing

• There is always a first time for everything. For CSA Racing, the Easter Cups marked one with the team's first overall victory in Race 2.
• The triumph of the No. 8 Audi R4 LMS GT111 is to the credit of Gaël Castelli and Rodolphe Wallgren. Fourth on the starting grid and also in the Pro-Am category, the duo put in a very good performance at the end of the Nogaro meeting, a circuit which greatly smiles on them.
• At the wheel of the German car for the second part of the race, Gaël Castelli was not held back by the Silvers in front of him and saw the way open wide for him. On the line, the duo finished with a lead of 4” over Jordan Roupnel and Loris Cabirou (Ginetta G8 GT56 EVO No. 4 – CMR), winners in Silver thanks to the 30-second penalty inflicted on the Victor Weyrich-Mateo duo. Villagomez (Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 N°74 – Racing Spirit Of Léman) for speeding in the pit lane.
• For Gaël Castelli and Rodolphe Wallgren, this is their first Pro-Am victory since Val de Vienne last year. Together, they won their sixth success, the fifth in Nogaro! It just goes to show that the Gers are bringing them luck.
• In Am, victory went to Jean-Laurent Navarro (Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS N°43 – JSB Competition). Small subtlety, he was the only driver not to have a teammate this weekend and therefore competed in the entirety of both races. However, and as required by the regulations, he had to get out of his car and then get back on during the stops in the interest of fairness towards the other competitors.
