Race report by Yannick Aigoin Romain Soret's XB8 TQ (click to enlarge) The French Efra GP was competed in the middle of May at St-Exupéry, near the Lyon Airport in France. The track was dusty and very flat during all the practices on Friday, but became clean and very bumpy during the race. The best 3 of 5 qualifying results were counted. Yannick and Christophe, his mechanic (click to enlarge) In the 1st round, G.Vray (Mugen/RB) claimed the best time, followed by J.Sartel (X1CR/JP) and Mehdi Annaby (Mugen/RB). Local driver Julien Desplaces was 5th, and N.Reynaud and Y.Aigoin were in the top 10. In the 2nd round, R.Savoya (Mugen/Ninja) was the fastest, with J.Aigoin (Pirate/Picco) in 2nd, N.Rodriguez (GS/FX) in 3rd, and G.Vray in 4th — all very close within 3 seconds ! In the 3rd round, J.Aigoin made the best overall time, G.Vray followed in 2nd place, Y.Aigoin (XRAY/RB) in 3rd. In the 4th round, Yannick won followed by R.Savoya and J.Aigoin. S.Chaffardon and his mechanic (click to enlarge) The final results were totally opened, with 4 drivers going for the TQ position: J.Aigoin, G.Vray, Y.Aigoin and R.Savoya. The winner of the last round would be TQ! In the 5th and final qualifying round, Yannick made the best time with 8 laps in 5’18, followed by Jérôme (5’21) and Guillaume (5’28), so Yannick put his XB8-TQ in the coveted TQ position! With Julien Desplaces and Erwann Legros both in a semi-final, it was a good qualifying result for the XRAY team. Erwann Legros (click to enlarge) M.Farina and S.Chaffardon, both of who did not have success in qualifying, bumped up easily in the semi-final, as did very good rookie driver Romain Soret . This put six XB8-TQs in the semi-final. Yannick won the first semi-final, followed by G.Vray and R.Savoya. J.Aigoin won the second one, followed by J.Sartel. XRAY drivers E.Legros and S.Chaffardon also went up in the main. (click to enlarge) During the main, all drivers were very close. Unfortunately, S.Chaffardon broke his throttle servo and so had no chance of winning. Yannick, with a very easy car, won the race on the very bumpy track. He’s followed by current world champion G.Vray and world finalist J.Sartel. |
