Première course de la saison, avec peloton réduit certes, mais avec qualité choisie. Les jeunes loups sont là. Dannielou prend la pole position, Dhouailly, Accary et Beaubelique s’emparent du leadership, mais c’est comme un miroir de l’an dernier qui se tend devant nous quand on voit Zollinger, Mondolot et Thuner passer en premier le damier, devant Rihon, Padmore et Philllips n°34, et Bazaud, Caillon et Medard n°69. Les Ligier sont au rendez-vous en performance, mais moins en fiabilité.
First race of the season and there was unquestionably a smaller field, though the quality was high. The young Turks were there - Dannielou took pole position, Dhouailly, Accary and Beaubelique traded the lead - but it was as if a mirror of last season was being held up in front of us once Zollinger, Mondolot and Thuner took the chequered flag, ahead of Rihon, Padmore and Philllips in n°34, and Bazaud, Caillon and Medard aboard n°69. The Ligiers were competitive in terms of speed, but lacked reliability.
