For the first time since its creation in 2020, the Champions of the Future Euro Series visited France, for the second of five events in this top-level competition. The 173 drivers present (95 in OK-Junior and 78 in OK) discovered the Val d'Argenton circuit, which proved to be very interesting from both a technical and sporting point of view. Joel Pohjola won the Juniors Final, while Dries Van Langendonck took the provisional lead. In the OK class, Thibaut Ramaekers made the difference in the Final, while Zac Drummond took the overall lead. In both categories, the racing was intense, with countless changes of leaders from Qualifying to the Finals.
Renowned for having hosted battles between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in the early 2000s, or Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc a decade later, the Val d'Argenton circuit has been given a new lease of life by once again welcoming some of motorsport's greatest international hopefuls. As organisers of the Champions of the Future Euro Series, RGMMC once again proved its ability to satisfy the demanding requirements of the drivers and teams involved, whatever the challenge and the specific characteristics of the circuit chosen. As the days went by, the meeting grew in intensity, culminating in some particularly lively Finals.
No fewer than 18 different drivers representing numerous teams managed to win Qualifying Heats, confirming the sheer number of potential winners at Val d'Argenton. Lehtimaki, Sala, Van Langendonck, Rajpold, Coronel, Iliffe, Lovatt, Walz, Kamyab and Pohjola in OK-Junior, as well as Helias, Drummond, Gomez, Francis, Ramaekers, Pesl, Dubnitski and Wolfe in OK, were among those who demonstrated their competitiveness on this French circuit located not far from the famous chateaux of the Loire Valley. Whether it was the drivers who put in fine performances or those who fell short of their objectives, they all came away with a wealth of technical information and a much better understanding of this 1280-metre track, with the aim of shining at the FIA European Karting Championship from 25th to 28th April.
Now a partner of the OK-Junior and OK categories in the Champions of the Future Euro Series and FIA Karting in 2024, Maxxis tyres contributed to the success of the event, which was particularly well attended thanks to the live streaming set up by RGMMC. In addition to the arrival of on-board cameras offering spectacular images, an additional upgrade in the tv optics further enhanced the quality of the broadcast!
