It was during the French round of the U18 World Championship that Sodi achieved its best result of the year thanks to Anthoine Hubert, who won the final race at Essay. Sodi chassis showed excellent performances since the start of the CIK meeting, whose peculiarity is that all drivers must race with the same type of engine assigned by random draw. Léo Roussel remained in the top positions of the standings, was second in timed qualifying, twice second in the heats, before Hubert opportunely got the holeshot in the pre-finals: 4th in pre-final 1, he also managed to finish 5th in pre-final 2 despite the reversed starting grid. It was a brilliant performance that propelled him to pole position.
Hubert continued to dominate during the final, after a few laps under the yellow flags for a series of crashes at the start, and perfectly managed his lead up to the finish line, with a memorable victory. Roussel completed Sodi success with his 4th place, after an exciting catch-up race. The British driver Henry Easthope concluded with a 6th place. Thanks to this stunning result, Hubert has made a jump forward from 7th to 3rd place in the World Championship classification and has reached an interesting position when there is still one round to go before the end of the U18 Championship, at Sarno, in November.
