A DAY IN FIGURES

10 : the number of races held on Sunday.

6 : the number of drivers who remained unbeaten on their grid.

0.078 : the smallest gap of the day between a winner and the next one (Lotus Trophy)

THEY SAID

Antoine Robert, winner in Formula Renault: "It's always nice to be back in this car with which I was champion in 2017, a car that is starting to have a track record and is very nice to drive. In this race it's even more fun because in the rain, we are as fast or even faster than the F3s with this very, very agile car."

François BELLE, winner in Formula Ford Historic: "The key to success in these conditions is to go at just the right speed and not to do too much and in fact to try to manage those who are behind.

Dominique VULLIEZ, winner of the Lotus Trophy: "I was lucky not to have left too much room for manoeuvre for my colleagues in the last lap, as it's a very tight field where there are only 3-4 of us who can claim victory in each race.

UPDATE ON THE FRANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

After the first two days of competition of the Historic Tour 2023 and a double race on each of its multiple platforms, a first assessment is necessary. No less than 6 drivers remained unbeaten on the Dijon-Prenois track, thus collecting the 80 points that reward their faultless weekend in the French Historic Circuit Championship. Among them, Frédéric LAJOUX, Antoine ROBERT and Matthieu MIDY leave Burgundy as leaders of the Single-seater/Proto category after having respectively competed in Formula 3 Classic, Formula Renault and Formula Ford Kent. In the Pre 1990 GT/Touring category, Philippe GANDINI took the first place alone. In the GT/Tourism Post 1990 category, Laurent SABATIER and Julien PIAU did a great job, the first in GT Classic and the second in Youngtimers GTI Cup. Finally, at the top of the French Historic Endurance Championship, we find the duo Eric MARTIN & Laurent VALLERY-MASSON.
