Rotax Max Euro Challenge, Salbris – Finals

Junior
 
Enzo Valente and Dylan Buys start greatly after the start and trying to pull away from the pack. In the meantime, championship pretender Mark Kimber starts from grid seventh and immediately tries to find his way to the top. The young Brit driving for Strawberry Racing team fights hard to reach the podium, and, after battling against Tamino Bergmeier and Jean Nomblot, he finally steps on lowest podium place. It takes only a few laps to understand that Dylan Buys has another pace. The Duthcman shows the way from the first position passing on the finishing line with more than seven seconds of advantage over Enzo Valente in second.

It’s not over until the chequered flag, and Adrien Renaudin knows it. Lars Lamborelle starts from the pole position and he holds it while trying to open a gap over his rivals. An accident between Denis Mavlanov and Jordan Brown helps the polesitter who makes the better of this situation gaining a little advantage on the Frenchman. Now the chase begins: Renaudin pushes as hard as he can to catch the leader, but he is not fast enough to overtake him. The last lap of duel is simply breathtaking. While the leading duo fights for the win, behind their shoulders Denis Mavlanov loses the third place in favour of Brown.
