St Exupery's Track is one of the most beautiful track with long straight followed by a big curve and a "snail" difficult to manage because of the bumpy surface with stones, which requires to be precise with throttle!
|
|
It's the Auto Model Club of Saint Exupéry, who had the difficult task to organize the European Championship 'B'. The whole team of Gerard Desplaces made a very good job by organizing the event.
144 drivers made ​​the trip with a strong presence of Spanish and Portuguese teams! The French team very motivated with an outstanding team manager: "Babas".
Weather was mild overall, allowing good qualifications, prefinals and final of 45 minutes in which Jonathan Bacro won his first European title! |
|
|
Indeed, the fight was intense with swedish Marcus Sandberg who refueled more than Jonathan Bacro so Jonathan could take advantage of the situation to put pressure on Marcus who creaked up in the final laps, leaving the two first places respectively to the two French drivers : Jonathan Bacro (RB B11 / RB Fuel / Proline tires) and Laurent Tartare!
Tom Robin finished 6th, Maxime Noble 10th and Guillaume Hebert 12th.

RB was here for technical support for all drivers who benefited of powerful, stable and low consumption engines.
Note that the new RB oval venturis were used by many drivers to reduce fuel consumption (up to 12 "30 for some of them) and get the flexibility of the engine - very nice for driving into the holes.
RB won his 9th European title and 5th since 2009! RB engines and RB fuel are truly an asset to win races !
Congratulations to Jonathan and thank you for all your encouragements and congratulations.
See you soon for new adventures!
