HVM Racing: organiser of motor races for historic vehicles

SATURDAY'S FILM

 

On the evening of this first day of racing on the Val de Vienne circuit, the outcome of the French Historic Circuit Endurance Championship is becoming clearer. The Historic Tour has its first 2 champions: the duo of Eric MARTIN and Laurent VALLERY-MASSON has won the French Historic Endurance Circuit Championship! Look out for the new winners of the 2023 season tomorrow.

A DAY IN NUMBERS

10: The number of races on Sunday.

146: the number of race laps completed today.

0.341 of a second: the smallest gap of the day between a winner and the next closest competitor (Lotus Trophy).

1:42.892: the fastest time achieved in the race, all platforms combined (Gislain GENECAND in F3 Classic).

THEY SAID

Gislain GENECAND, winner in F3 Classic and second in Formula Ford Kent: "When you win, it always goes well. I got off to a very good start with a good pace and I opened up the gap very quickly. Frédéric LAJOUX came back strongly, so I was a little scared, and then when the Safety Car restarted I wasn't very good, but I managed to win the race.

Malivai CASTELLI, winner of Race 1 of the Maxi 2L Classic: "It was great fun on the track, with a very high level of driving from the top 5, it was great fun but with respect."

Jean-Pierre RICHELMI, winner of the 200km Historic Tour: "It was a very good feeling, we had tyre problems because we had 8-year-old tyres, but we managed to find a set of new tyres for the rain which we were able to maintain for practice and the race. The car was impeccable, so we're very happy."
