Team Shepherd Win French Nationals Round 2
Last weekend the second round of the French National 1:10 On-Road Championship was held Nantes in the West of the Country. With 27 entries in Elite class and 60 entries in National class, it was a really good participation. The qualification was very tight and saw A. Bertin taking the TQ in front of T. Eytard, Maxime Favrelle (Velox V10) and B.Concialdi who took the last ticket for the direct final. Also Shepherd driver Thomas Desmaries had a good performance finishing qualifying in eighth position.
In the final Favrelle had the best start and managed to increase is lead to one lap over the rest of the field in the early stage of the race. But his engine stalled after the first half of the race and he lost some time. With an strong and aggressive run Favrelle could manage to recover and take over the lead again just a few minutes before the end. At this time Desmaries was in second position, but also his engine stalled and he dropped down to seventh position.
