Benjamin Brasset wins at Saint Brieuc Indoor GP

The Saint Brieuc Indoor GP was held this past weekend with the event being hosted by the Saint Brieuc Mini Bolides club. In the 1/8th Nitro On-road class it was Benjamin Brasset with the TQ from Damien Thirion and John Ermen in 2nd and 3rd after the qualifiers. Changing outside temperatures and humidity made things challenging for the drivers especially on Sunday and one of the victims was John Ermen who crashed into the barriers at the start of the 30-minute main final to being dead last already in lap 1. At the front end of the pack however it was Benjamin who controlled the pace and despite John recovering to 2nd and chasing down the leader in the final stages, Benjamin would bring home a 2-seconds win from John 2nd as Stephane Bouche ended the main some four laps down on the leading duo.
