The two Lion Truck Racing drivers remain leaders of the French Championship after Charade GP.

The third act of the French Championship was held this weekend of 7th and 8th September on the Charade Circuit. The Lion Truck Racing team aimed to consolidate its leadership positions with Anthony Janiec 1st and Téo Calvet 2nd, and it's done!

With excellent times in Superpole, the two-time defending champion took pole position in the two most important races of the Grand Prix, during which he quickly widened the gap with his competitors to finish first with + 6 '750 in front of Thomas Robineau (team Robineau) on race 1 and + 1' 881 in front of Lionel Montagne (team Aravi) on race 3.

Anthony Janiec remains leader with a comfortable lead over his pursuers before the 4th and penultimate date of the Championship at Le Mans.

Téo Calvet also shone this weekend by winning 4 podiums on the 4 races, thanks in particular to very good starts where he was able to negotiate properly the first often dreaded corners of the Charade Circuit.

Despite his young age, the young Lion Truck Racing rider resisted twice Thomas Robineau's pressure in his rear bumper during the 2 x 11 laps of Sunday races. He even crossed the finish line with a flat tire on race 3!

Next appointment: the Le Mans 24 Hours Truck GP on the 28th and 29th of September, until then the whole team is hard at work preparing the last three dates of the season.
