-- Results of Chaumont 2 --
What an incredible weekend on the Chaumont racetrack for the 6th round of the Challenge ORNEC championship.
Perfect organisation, perfect track – it was simply a highlight.
With 59 drivers in the supersprint category, every single lap had to be absolutely on point.
Warmup: 2nd place – we immediately found the right lines, very promising for the weekend.
Qualifying: 18th place. Unfortunately, not a single clean lap was possible due to constant overtakes and one opponent stopping right in the middle of the racing line.
Heat 1: Starting P5, a perfect start into the first row and finished 3rd.
Heat 2: Starting P3, another great start, but not brave enough, leaving the inside open – still finished 3rd.
Heat 3: Starting P3 again, once more a perfect start, but too optimistic, leaving the inside open again – still managed 2nd after a tough battle for the win.
After the three heats: 8th place
Semi-final:
1st start: Starting P4, we had a perfect launch as the lights flashed green for just 2 milliseconds – came out of the first corner in P1. Unfortunately, red flag due to electronic failure
2nd start: Tyres overheated, pushed too hard and had a poor start – still finished in 5th.
Final:
Starting P9, we made the wrong choice of grid side as it was wetter than the other. Out of the first corner in 14th, but fought back position after position, finishing 9th, battling hard for P7 and P8.
What can we say? An amazing weekend! The Peters Autosport crosscar with the new modifications really showed its performance – being in the fight for the top positions all weekend just feels incredible.
Big thanks to our family who always supports us and helps us perform at this level, and to all our sponsors and partners for believing in us.
See you in Maggiora Italy, for the European Championship 💥
