Arnaud Chaussard wins French 10th Nats Rd2
The 2nd round of the French 1/10th scale 200mm Championships was held last weekend in Herrlisheim close to the German border. Qualifying in the Elite class went the way of Kyosho man Mikael Pontal, with Thomas Desmaries the only driver able to challenge him with his Mugen in 2nd, while in the National class it was Anthony Bruyer that came out on top, the only driver to take 19 laps in this class to start ahead of Xray team mate Arthur Leclercq. In the Elite final, pole man Pontal lead the way from Desmaries who had a rear belt failure early on putting him out. Pontal lead until some problems at the 20th minute that let Xray driver Arnaud Chaussard through to the lead, and who was also making one less stop than everyone else. Arnaud would hold on for the win from the Kyosho pairing of Jacky Mouton in 2nd and Nicolas Bougnoteau in 3rd, the top 5 finishing on the same lap. In the National class it was pretty straight forward for pole man Bruyer, who had to wait till the 4th minute before taking the lead, from where he could easily win from Ayrton Auge in 2nd and Arthur Leciercg in 3rd.
