Anthoine was in shape as early as the free pratice, as he came in 3rd and 7th in the 2 sessions. For the first time trials Anthoine was often in 1st or 2nd position only to finish in 4th place after having been disturbed in his last lap.
We had high hopes for race one, but Anthoine is his car a bit less on form than the day before, had to bare the attacks of his opponents and finshed in 5th place.
The qualifying of races 2 and 3 only allow Anthoine to obtain 8th and 9th position.
On sunday Anthoine finished twice in 6th position with an improvement in the last race.
With an added 26 points, Anthoine remains in 7th position in the general ranking but the gap increases with the sweedish rookie Ericksson.
