The French Hillclimb Championship started this weekend with the Course de Côte de Bagnols Sabran. Weather conditions were quite difficult with random rainshowers spoiling the fun. Still all drivers could manage at least two dry race runs.
Geoffrey Schatz gave a grand performance in his Norma M20 FC. Schatz was already record breaking fast in practise. On Sunday morning he confirmed his speed with a new official track record. In that first run Sebastien Petit was over 3 seconds behind. A massive gap but he managed to close it to .7 seconds at the end of the day. As a matter of fact Petit was also quicker than the previous trackrecord, but obviously not quick enough! The final podium spot went to David Meillon. He debuted his new Norma M20 FC CN+ sportscar with a fine third overall.
The Formula 3 saw a very close battle for victory. Alban Thomas took a fine win but he was just .3 seconds quicker than runner-up David Guillaumard. The couple also finished fourth and fifth respectively. Sixth overall was for the CN2-winner Julien Français. He was quite a bit quicker than class runner-up Maxime Cotleur.
Fabien Bourgeon had a massive crash at Bagnols Sabran last year. The memory of that accident did not upset him much as Bourgeon took CM class victory.
In GTTS Pierre Courroye took yet another brilliant victory. The reigning touringcar champion steered his McLaren to a 3 second lead and a new touringcar trackrecord. Nicolas Werver was best of the rest in second. Philippe Schmitter debuted his impressive Renault RS01 silhouette racer with third overall.
