Chaussard wins 1/10 French Nats Rd2
Last weekend saw the second round of the French 1/10th scale Nationals run at the technical circuit of Vichy. Qualifying for the National class saw Maxime Favrelle take the pole position from Yannick Lesserteur in 2nd and Romain Jaureguy in 3rd while in the Elite Class it was Thomas Eytard that was quickest followed by Thomas Desmarie and Renaud Monin in 2nd and 3rd. The National class main final saw a close race long battle between the pole man Favrelle and Frederic Bourrillon and Yannick Lesserteur, but unfortunately for Yannick he had problems very close the end and fell back to 5th and this allowed J-Philippe Michel into 3rd at the end behind winner Maxime Favrelle and runner up Frederic Bourrillon. In the Elite final, after a restart because of timing problems, it was Mickael Pontal into the early lead from Basile Concialdi, but problems mid way through the race for the front running group allowed Xray driver Arnaud Chaussard through into the lead from where he took control and went onto win from Concialdi in 2nd and Renaud Monin in 3rd.
