There have been equipment changes for some drivers in KF at the GPO between the previous meeting at Mariembourg and the current race at Essay in Normandy. A local saying is that a change of pasture pleases the calves, but it has probably no bearing …
In Juniors, Jonathan Hélias joins Tony Kart / Vortex with Nicolas Boudine as mechanic. Fast during the Friday free practice, Jo had a bad night because of persistent chest pain. Tanguy Carel is on a roll now with an FA Kart from Braun Racing. The Belgian Sébastien Bedoret, 5th in the championship, is now on a Kosmic / Vortex prepared by Olivier Maréchal. Mathieu Jaminet, one of the best French drivers at international level is on a Factory Maranello / Maxter. He has no plans to contest the rest of the GPO rounds, but will focus on the WSK (9th overall) and the European Championship.
In KF2, Jérémy Germanovitch is on an Intrepid and Guillaume De Ridder, second in the championship, is happily at Kosmic with Olivier Maréchal. Usually racing in the WSK, Clemente Picariello is at Essay to discover his new Intrepid chassis.
