A strong wind blew across the Actua Kart Lyon Metropole track on Saturday afternoon, one more element to take into account for the teams, while the sky gradually became overcast, then even threatening.
Heat B-E. Full marks for Anthony Cout (Alpha), after a fifth consecutive victory against Jeremy Lopes (Tony Kart), Bryan Laloux (Kosmic) and Thomas Ricci (Tony Kart), who had the fastest time of the race. Kevin Breysse (PCR) and Luca Midali (Sodi) finished fifth and sixth. Heat AC: Vincent Fraisse (Sodi) got away again quickly ahead of his opponents, while Nicolas Gonzales (Kosmic) was struggling with Matias Milla for second position. Delabrosse had to drop out. Milla took second place ahead of Gonzales, perhaps smarting from his misadventure in the morning. Maxime Bertho (Swiss Hutless) finished fourth from Christopher Chamard (FA Kart). In eighth position Paolo Besancenez (Kosmic) was going well.
Joseph Mawson (Kosmic) resisted Anthony Ceribella (Tony Kart), slightly faster during heat DF. Enzo Felicioni (Tony Kart) finished third ahead of Lucas Brion (Tony Kart), Guillaume Barbarin (Tony Kart) and Ingrid Girard (Tony Kart). In 8th, Jeoffrey Rouchy (CRG) had to make concessions. The fastest time went to François Bécamel (Kosmic) in 16th.
Midali and Compere retired at the start of heat EG, where Jeremy Lopes (Tony Kart) immediately took the lead from Romain De Leval (LH) and Giacomo Napolitano (Tony Kart). Hugo Vincentini (OK1) made a big recovery, but Anthony Fotia (Sodi) passed to grab fifth place behind Yoann Mazgarean (Exceed). Roman Digard (BRM) moved into 6th place. Victory went to Joseph Mawson (Kosmic) in heat AD, followed by Matias Mila (Zanardi). There was nothing Vincent Fraisse could do to stop these drivers passing, even though he was in the wheeltracks of the Argentine at the end. Clement Chillet finished 4th close to the previous two, ahead of Anthony Ceribella (Tony Kart) and Alexis Castellon (Tony Kart).
Nicolas Gonzales (Kosmic) easily won heat CF ahead of Mattias Martins (FK), while Ingrid Girard (Tony Kart) enlivened the race brilliantly with third and the fastest lap of the race from eighth on the grid, then Jean Baptiste Delabrosse (Alpha) fourth and Pascal Von Allmen (Sodi) fifth. Again François Bécamel (Kosmic) made a big recovery and was 15th with 18 places gained. The last heat BG saw one more victory, the sixth, for Anthony Cout (Alpha). Kevin Breysse (PCR) then had to concentrate to defend against Bryan Laloux (Kosmic). Romain De Leval (LH) finished fourth ahead of Victor Compere (Kosmic).
Cout of course took first place in front of Fraïsse and Lopes. Milla took fourth, Ceribella fifth. Martins is in sixth position, Laloux 7th, then Mazgarean, Rouchy and Ricci.
