Charles Roussanne leads a wet practice session: "I took a gamble on slicks and it paid off."

No matter how much you enjoy driving in the rain, every time you get behind the wheel of a new car, it's a fresh start. For Charles Roussanne, who ultimately led the final practice session on Friday, the Porsche Carrera Cup France, qualifying preparation is discussed with a smile in the GP Racing Team garage.

"It was a somewhat unusual session with the rain at the start. It stopped very quickly. We all started on rain tires, but the track dried out rapidly. I was among the few riders who took the gamble on slicks, and it paid off." the rookie driver rejoicesWe gathered some information for qualifying, but also for the races. If it rains, we'll have some benchmarks.

Although the weather forecast for Saturday is still mixed – as it has been since Wednesday at Dijon-Prenois – it does indeed seem that the first race could take place in the rain. This would be a new experience for someone who seemed unable to overcome the difficulties of FP2 the previous day. "Then the rain came back again, three-quarters of the way through the session. It was really strange," he underlinesI'm still gaining experience in these conditions, in any case. I only drove in the rain with this car for the first time yesterday.

In this difficult context, Charles Roussanne is cautious, but not entirely unfamiliar with motorsport, and is not missing out on enjoying himself at this point in the weekend. "I've always liked the rain, and so far, it's going rather well," he smiled. "It's positive at this stage."

So tune in at 9:30 (French time) to follow the PCCF qualifiers in Dijon.
