Poinsignon is a very good driver ! What he is able to do with the Simca is just amazing

Can anyone explain about the Coupe de France?

[vino_93]

It's the same concept as in rally. There is a lot of event in each part of France. Drivers are classified in the zone where they have their license. They can take part at all the events they want in France (but must take part in a minimum number in their zone), from 27/08/12 to 25/08/13, etc .... There are two levels (national, coeff 3, and régional, coeff 1).
They take point by group and class (8-6-4-2-1 for group, 16-12-8-6-4-2 for class).
The best by zone are qualified for a final (which changes each year of location). A number of qualified is announced in function of the number of classified driver in the zone the last year. The winner of the French Cup is the one who won the final

A lot of races took place this weekend. And most of them were very wet...

The fourth round of the European Championship took place in Spain this weekend. Faggioli almost got beaten by Julien Ducommun, just 2 tenths of a difference! Results of all the races can be found as usual on my website.

I personally was at the second round of the Belgian Championship in Chimay. The track is not much more than some straights and some chicanes, but in the rain that is suddenly pretty difficult...

My photos of this race can be found @ www.hillclimbportal.com
Here a small preview:






Thanks for watching!

I don't know Julien Ducommun, but it must be really good driver ... beat Faggioli is an exploit !

Tragic news from Verzegnis this wekeend, legendary Austrian driver Hanspeter Laber died yesterday in the race.

R.I.P. Hanspeter, my condolences to the Laber family and the whole Austrian racing community

Is it true that he crashed on the way down the valley? Sounds strange to me...

It was a crash with guard rail, similar to the rally accidents Kubica/Breen. Here the rail went through the windows front to back. I still have no info from Italy, but it seems there must be problems, like heart attack or similar. There is also another version, but not for public. Nobody crash with 30 km/h downhill going back relax.
