A DAY IN NUMBERS

9: The number of races on Saturday.

THEY SAID

Antoine Robert, winner of the Formula Renault Turbo (from the back of the grid): "It's really nice to have a challenge like this, to start last and go as far as possible! In the event, I managed to go on and claim victory, which wasn't a foregone conclusion with the technical problems we had the day before, so it was a bit of a compromise.

Dominique Vulliez, first in the Lotus Trophy and second in the day's race: "I think it's very complicated in a Lotus to be French champion. It's already good to be in the Top 3! For the moment, I'm leading the trophy and if I don't have any breakdowns or problems, things should go well.

Fabrice Lefebvre, leader of the French Post 90 Championship, competing in Saloon Cars: "7 podiums out of 7 races, the stars are aligned, the reliability and consistency are there. I'm very satisfied and I hope to do as well in Race 2!
