THEY SAID

Michel GHIO, winner of the Formula Ford Historic Challenge France category A: "Super moment, clean overtaking, I've been fighting hard since the start of the season, it's a good reward for the team and for me because everything is working well whereas the start of the weekend was catastrophic because we had to change the engine, the reward is enormous for everyone".

Régis PREVOST, first weekend in F3 Classic: "It's good, very physical, especially here at Lédenon, even more so with the F3s than with the Formula Fords with the aerodynamic support, it's much more precise than a Ford, it sits very well, it's very pleasant to drive."

UPDATE ON THE FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP

The day after the Historic Tour de Lédenon, the most prominent drivers in the French Historic Circuit Championship now have six results (two per meeting) out of the ten possible this season. Matthieu Midy, who was still unbeaten before his trip to the Slate region, suffered a defeat in the Formula Ford Kent. As a result, he leaves Antoine Robert alone at the helm of the championship in single-seaters/rotos. With six wins from six races, the driver from Le Mans remains more than ever the leading driver in Formula Renault Classic. On the other hand, the status quo remains unchanged in the pre-90s GT/Touring championship, with Philippe Gandini (Maxi 1300 Series) and Emmanuel Brigand (Racing Over 2L) adding two more victories to their tally and maintaining their lead at the top of the standings. In the post-90s GT/Touring championship, Grégory Yvetot (Saloon Cars) lost his lead after mechanical problems during the race. He gives way to Fabrice Lefebvre (Saloon Cars), who is alone in the lead with 210 points, 4 points ahead of Laurent Fresnais (Roadster Pro Cup).
