THEY SAID

Dean RIMBERT, winner of Race 1 of the Formula Renault Classic (Atmo): "A good start, despite some problems in qualifying with a damaged wing support and a throttle cable that was ready to break.

Clémentine LHOSTE, Youngtimers GTI Cup driver: "I'm really pleased to have finished fifth and third fastest in my Historic Tour debut at Lédenon. I'm not used to asphalt, I'm more used to ice, having competed in the Andros Trophy 9 times.

UPDATE ON THE FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP

At the halfway stage of the season, after 5 races, Antoine ROBERT (FR Classic) is the sole leader of the French Single-seater/Proto Championship, with 200 points. He leads François BELLE (Formule Ford Historic) by 5 points and Matthieu MIDY (Formule Ford Kent) by 10 points, relegated to third position. In the pre-90s GT/Touring Championship, Philippe GANDINI (Maxi 1300 Series) and Emmanuel BRIGAND (Racing Over 2L) shared the lead with a clean sheet and 200 points. However, they have no room for error, as Dominique VULLIEZ is hot on their heels, just 5 points behind. In the GT / Tourisme Post 90 category, the standings cannot be established due to the fact that races 1 for the GT Classic and Saloon Cars grids will not be run tomorrow.
