PCCF – Spa: Perrot penalized, Jaubert wins in C1

• A real disappointment. While he thought he would pocket his very first victory in the Cup France, Louis Perrot (Schumacher CLRT) was penalized five seconds for not following the instructions of the race director. After the penalty was applied, Mathys Jaubert (Martinet by Alméras) was promoted to the winner.
• For 30 minutes, the battle was splendid. Whether for the overall standings, the top-five positions, or the various categories, the fight never stopped. Starting from pole position, Mathys Jaubert initially resisted his rivals' attacks. In the closing laps, the Martinet by Alméras driver lost to Louis Perrot (Schumacher CLRT).
• Eric Debard's (Debard Automobiles by Racetivity) exit prompted the safety car. Behind the safety car, Louis Perrot zigzagged. A move that race management prohibited and therefore penalized. The Toulouse driver gained enough space to take cover, not yet knowing he was being penalized.
• Braking at Les Combes, Marcus Amand (CLRT Schumacher) attempted to pass Mathys Jaubert on the inside. The two touched, and the Martinet by Alméras driver pulled straight ahead. Back on track, the Frenchman held onto second place, while the Finn saw Keagan Masters (TFT Racing) pass him.
• After Louis Perrot was penalized, dropping back to fifth place, Mathys Jaubert won for the third time in a row. Keagan Masters and Marcus Amand completed the podium. Pre-race championship leader Paul Cauhaupé (ABM) finished in fourth place. His teammate Marvin Klein was forced to retire before the race even began following a technical issue on the formation lap.
• Leading from start to finish, Enzo Joulié claimed his first rookie victory! The Andorran driver of Martinet by Alméras managed his race perfectly to secure victory. After an incident on the first lap, Chester Kieffer restarted from last place. The Luxembourger of CLRT Schumacher put on a show to climb back up to second place in the category. Mathys Cappuccio (ABM) took third place.
• After a final lap of madness, Jérôme Boullery won the Pro-Am category. The Racing Technology driver finished ahead of his teammate, Cyril Caillo, and championship leader Marc Guillot (ABM).
• The Am victory went to Graham King. Guest driver this weekend, the Briton got the better of Jean Philippe Gambaro (ABM) and Jordan Boisson (TFT Racing).
• Race 2 will take place this Sunday at 11:30 a.m.
