Adrien Bertin makes it 3 from 3 in France

The 3rd round of the French 1/8th scale National Championship took place in Evry at the MRTE track near Paris. Nice weather greeted the 62 drivers in attendance and following qualifying it was winner of the first 2 rounds, Adrien Bertin who tool pole in the Elite class ahead of Stéphane Bouche in 2nd, while in the National class Gérald Colinet was the man to beat in front of Jérémy Becht. In the 45 minute Elite final the front pair took off ahead of the rest of the field, but a mistake in the chicane by Bouche saw him crash shifting the engine and in doing so damaging the gears, he would rejoin but way down the order. Meanwhile Adrien stormed ahead at the front to take his 3rd win in a row, 2 laps ahead of Romain Picard in 2nd and Stéphane Riccobono in 3rd. In the National class Damien Thirion got through to the front and was never challenged, winning by a lap from Serpent team mate Gérald Colinet in 2nd, with Jèrome Berthelot taking 3rd, 2 laps back.
