The excitement was constant since Thursday afternoon on the 1368 m of the most famous French track. With uncertain races until the finish line, countless overtaking, great sportsmanship, growing tension, hellish climbs and twists and turns, all the elements were gathered for a great competition meeting in the purest Rotax spirit.

The day ended in a warm festive atmosphere with the drivers' parade followed by a cocktail for everyone.

Robillot Lagache fights for the lead in the Micro Max
The Briton Albert Friend (Tony Kart/Rotax/Mojo) won twice, but the French poleman Léni Robillot Lagache (Tony Kart/Rotax/Mojo) managed to keep his advantage with a nice consistency. British driver Jenson Chalk (Croc Promotion/Rotax/Mojo), who had the same score, climbed from 6th to 2nd place ahead of Friend, while Lithuanian driver Majus Mazinas (Parolin/Rotax/Mojo) finished 4th and Dutch driver Senn Lindeman (Birel ART/Rotax/Mojo) remained in the top five.

Senior Max: Rillaerts impresses
Belgian poleman Kai Rillaerts (Sodi/Rotax/Mojo) of the JJ Racing team achieved a great feat as a rookie by winning all four Qualifying Heats despite formidable competition in Senior Max. Two Frenchmen finished in the top three: Nolan Lemeray (EOS/Rotax/Mojo) moved up three places to 2nd position and Enzo Caldaras (Sodi/Rotax/Mojo) Kart Pro Racing, once winner, kept his 3rd position. The British driver Lewis Gilbert (Tony Kart/Rotax/Mojo) regained no less than eight places in 4th position ahead of the German Janne Stiak (Kosmic/Rotax/Mojo) Kraft Motorsport, 2nd in Qualifying.

DD2: Barbaroux holds on to his ambition
Thanks to his two victories, French poleman Antoine Barbaroux (Sodi/Rotax/Mojo) largely dominated the DD2 heats.

DD2 Masters: Cussac-Picot still dominates
Frenchman Vivien Cussac-Picot (Tony Kart/Rotax/Mojo), who took pole position, confirmed his talent by winning all three Qualifying Heats.
