And on to the KZ2 final race that looks oh so exciting regarding who gets on the podium. Christophe Benoit (Birel / TM) chose to start from the outside line. This succeeded for him he took the lead, followed by Nolan Mantione (Birel / TM) following a relatively hesitant start from Amos Mechoulam (DR / TM). Mantione was not slow to attack Benoit on first lap and quickly escaped. Mechoulam looked determined behind Benoit, while François Santoni (PCR / TM) stalled, presumably trying to manage his tires. With the fastest lap, Benoit reeled back in the leader who was unfazed and stepped on the gas. The leading trio remained clustered, anything was still possible. Hopefully the longevity of the tires would not distort the intense battle.
Mechoulam, a driver from the famous ASK Rosny 93, was now very threatening to Benoit, the spectators were on their feet in the stands. But the experienced Benoit is not ready to surrender without a fight, while quietly biding was Santoni in fourth position. Mechoulam increased the pressure as he set the fastest time. He tried several times to pass Benoit who defended with the cunning of the fox. With three laps to go, the trio at the front closed dangerously. The end of the race looked hot, it was indeed more than 20 ° at Essay.
But Benoit lost a little time checking Mechoulam behind him and fails to attack Mantione who finally wins the race whose positions have not changed since the strangely 1st round. Second Benoit, Mechoulam 3rd, 4th Santoni.
