Thomas Desmaries wins at French On-road Cup
The French 1/8th On-road Cup was recently held at the Limoges track with some of the country’s fastest drivers in attendance. The main final at first saw the battle for the lead between Adrien Bertin and class rookie Leo Arnold but the latter would make some mistakes in the opening stages, allowing Adrien to open a gap on the field. Around the 20 minute mark, with Adrien out in front by around 9 seconds, Leo ran into tyre problems, allowing Thomas Desmaries to first close the gap and then also to pass Leo. With some five minutes to go Adrien had to pull out of the race with problems on his car and this promoted Thomas into the lead that he would keep until the checkered flag. Leo finished the main just two seconds short on Thomas with Stephane Riccobono rounding out the top 3 result.
