Jasmin & Soulignac win at French EP On-road Nats Rd1

The opening round of the French 1/10th Electric On-road nationals was held in Rumilly in the eastern part of the country. The first of five rounds attracted about 75 drivers to compete in four classes on the famous indoor asphalt track that offered high traction and a challenging layout. The weekend started off with free practice on Friday and resumed with more practice and the first qualifiers on Saturday. In the Touring Modified class Loic Jasmin took the overall TQ after winning three of the five qualifiers to put his car on pole position in front of Alexandre Duchet and Cyril N’Diaye.

In the finals, run on Sunday afternoon, the track conditions changed a bit due to the sun shining outside which affected overall grip available. In the opening A-main TQ holder Loic made a mistake about four laps into the race which cost him about two seconds but he was able to regain the lead only to loose it again after being hit by a backmarker and touching a curb, but ultimately Loic was able to bring home the win in the last lap of the opening A-main. A2 then was a pretty straight forward affair for the pole position holder as behind him loads of carnage happened, allowing him to bring home the win and with it the overall victory from Remi Callens second and Cyril N’Diaye third.
