Who to referee the Régal / Petit duel?

Two weeks after Sabran warmed up, the mountaineers returned to the Gard for an even more selective exercise. At 5280 meters, the Cévennes corniche road presents the whole range of difficulties: hairpins in the first third, rapid sequences on the plateau, and alternation of braking and restarting as the finish approaches.

Enough to make the difference between Régal and Petit, only 4/100ths apart last Monday at Chanaz. With their F3000 having barely recovered from serious touches, Schatz, Ritchen and Neveu will perhaps have more difficulty finding the rhythm than Fabien Frantz, Baudin, or Bouche, given confidence by their debut.

After their promising debut at Bagnols Sabran, the new Norma de Castellana, Cyrille Frantz and Cannata will undoubtedly step up their game again to chase down the F3000s and colonize the podium in proto sports against those of Bassora and Milesi.

With their Porsche Carrera cup, Werver and Soutrenon challenge the super touring cars of Dosières (BMW 320) and Roudet (Audi A4) for victory in “closed cars” with Janioud (BMW M3) as an outsider. In 2 liters, Fritsch's 306 maxi faces the Megane maxi from the regional Liron, winner in the rain last year.
