Results Course de Côte de Bagnols Sabran 2017

The Course de Côte de Bagnols Sabran was competed in very difficult weather conditions. It rained during Saturday practise and continued until Sunday morning. From that time the track gradually dried and the fastest times were set in the third and final race.

One day before the event 7-time champion Nicolas Schatz announced that he will not participate in the French Championship this year to concentrate on the ELMS. Although he absolutely dominated the past few years, the championship will probably not be that much more competitive. Sébastien Petit was second to Schatz almost every race, so we can expect him to finally claim the title for himself. At Bagnols Sebaran he made his first step towards that goal as he won the event with quite a margin. Geoffrey Schatz finished second while Cyrille Frantz completed the podium. Billy Ritchen absolutely dominated the Formula 3 and finishes fourth. Just behind Marcel Sapin in fifth we find the first CN2 pilot. Somewhat surprising this was Olivier Augusto and not Yannick Latreille (2nd), Corentin Starck (3rd), Damien Chamberod (4th) or David Guillaumard (6th).

Fabien Bourgeon drove incredible times in practise. The Tracking RC01 pilot was actually fifth overall on Saturday evening! It was not to last however. In the second race he had a massive crash and the Tracking RC01 pilot was airlifted to hospital with unknown injuries. Yves Tholy was now fastest CM driver in 15th overall.

The touringcar category was almost a battle of attrition.

Champion Nicolas Werver was not present yet. Pierre Courroye had mechanical problems in his new McLaren and could also not participate. Philippe Schmitter crashed his Lamborghini Gallardo in practise and had to retire there. Yannick Poinsignon then crashed his BMW in the second race. He therefore missed the third and fastest race of the day. Christian Schmitter and Pierre Beal were the only drivers who had a more or less trouble free weekend and they finished 1-2. Some distance behind them the only two Seat Leon Supercopas battled for the final podium place. Remi Bernard eventually won the dual of Francis Dosieres.

It looks like Pascal Cat has made the Renault Megane RS competitive in Group N. The group was and is dominated by the BMW M3 E36 but at Bagnols Sabran Cat mixed it up with the german saloons and finished second behind Antoine Uny. Joël Cazalens was the quickest in FC and finally Guillaume Peloux took victory in F2000.
