With just this round and the season finale of the SRO Racing festival from Paul Ricard in early October still to go, we have just the #7 Mirage Racing car of Stanislav Safronov and Aleksandr Vaintrub still competing within the Pro-Am class as well as the #74 Racing Spirit of Leman Silver class entry of Victor Weyrich and Mateo Villagomez to cheer.
Last time out at Magny-Cours just three weeks ago was another podium fest for the #74 as they consolidated and extended class championship lead with another P2 and P1 finishes (in class) whilst the #7 had to make do with P6 and P7 finishes within their ultra-competitive and busy Pro-Am class which still sees them down in seventh within their championship table.
This weekend sees another two one-hour races to look forward to but with still one hundred points available to the end of the season and being just fifty-three points ahead, the maths are still easy to work out.
That being said, being eighty-eight points behind in Pro-Am, the #7 Mirage Racing team would require something approaching a minor miracle to turn that points deficit around – but then, there is always pride worth racing for!
Track action begins tomorrow with Free Practice.
