We went, Bruno, Antonio Ferramacho and Arnaud Quédé, begun in the second group.  The next morning, it is Arnaud who took the departure on a wet track.  It attacked as of the first turns to go up few places before leaving the Bruno Magal wheel.  This one also went up after a battle baited against the tenors.  For the occasion, many crews had engaged of famous pilots.  Some famous names: Low Leenders, Pierre-Yves Corthals and I pass from there…

Antonio, as for him, to confirm that the car healthy and was balanced while being as fast as us!  

Leaving this time in the first group for the second handle, the battle was hard because the variations were very tight.  More than one about fifteen cars were in the same turn as us! 

And it is in the light of the lamps, that we finished this second sleeve in the 35ième place.
