On the Paul Ricard circuit, it was Nick Yelloly on the Inter Europol who was the most efficient in the LMP2 category while the French shone in LMP3 and LMGT3 with the respective poles of Adrien Closmenil and Clément Mateu.
4h Paul Ricard
After a fight at all times, it was ultimately Nick Yelloly on the inter -Europol #43 who had the last word with a time of 1’48 “741, or 0.2 second ahead of Charles Milesi (VDS Panis Racing #48) and Matteo Cairoli (Iron Lynx #9)! The little prodigy Mathys Jaubert carried out the 4th chrono of this session, While Theo Pourchaire has played too much with track limits and will start in the last position.
The battle for pole was intense in LMP2 Pro/AM between Giorgio Roda (Proton #77) and PJ Hyett (Ao by TF #99). She filmed in the favor of the American pilot who knew how to continue all the sectors to perfection while Roda had some difficulties in correctly relaunching her Oreca in the last turn, costing her first place.
The pole position in LMP3 returns to the CLX Motorsport team thanks to a very aggressive turn of Adrien Closmenil, very strongly attacking the vibrators to make this better time. The Frenchman left his opponents no chance, preceding Rik Koen (Team Virage #8) of 0’925s and Griffin Peebles (WTM Rinaldi #12) of 0’992s. A very impressive performance on his part and which will be monitored in the next rounds.
In LMGT3, it was Clément Mateu who produced the Pôle Position with the Aston Martin of Racing Spirit of Léman with 0’723s ahead of Duncan Cameron (Spirit of Race #55) and 0.776s on the Mercedes of Martin Berry (Iron Lynx #63). The latter is one of the men in the form of the moment but the position pole was playable if he had not exceeded the limits of the track in his first round. Celia Martin (Iron Dames #85) could not reiterate his feat from Barcelona, taking the 6th position.
