Final X30 Master: Nicolas Duchateau (Alpha) was immediately ahead at the start with David Chenillot (FA Kart) in tow. Frederic Blin (Kosmic) went on the attack straight away and took third place, ahead of Thierry Raccamier (Kosmic), Julien Degoutte (CRG) and Pascal Bielatowicz (Exceed) who was very incisive. Duchateau had difficulty keeping pace. First Chenillot took the lead on the third lap then Blin took the lead on lap 4. Raccamier in third joined Chenillot to put pressure on the leader.
Raccamier took second with strong braking and Chenillot is destabilized and retired later. Samy Nergutti (Kosmic) took third in front of Duchateau and Degoutte was fifth ahead of a tight group including Jorge Busato (Gillard), Jerome Maton (Kosmic), Tino Donadei (Top Kart) and Bielatowicz. Raccamier did not admit defeat and literally stuck to Blin’s bumper. Maton, starting 26th, grabbed 5th past Donadei then overtook Kip Foster (DR).
Duchateau was watching Nerguti and returned to the attack and passed on lap 16. Raccamier remained on the lookout for the win, three tenths behind Blin who pushed on and doubled his lead with the fastest lap. Frederic Blin took another victory in Master after his success in 2012. Thierry Raccamier had a beautiful race in second position and Nicolas Duchateau, the fastest on the track, moved up to third. Nerguti finished 4th, Foster 5th and Maton 6th.
