The « Dijon 3 Hours »
The fourth race of the season will be run in the classic 3-hour format before the GT and Tourisme events are run, for the first time, on the EuroSpeedway circuit at Lausitz in Germany for a kick-off event run over 6 hours.

Multiple VHC Championship winners, Moreau and Langin have been after the modern version title for a number of seasons and now seem to be capable of taking the Trophy. With their Porsche 996 RSR N°14, reigning Champion, they are making the running in spite of a poor performance in the last Magny-Cours event. Fortunately for them, the Ferrari F430 N°1 of the reigning champions,, Pagny and Benoist, also had a disappointing race.

The Dijon event is the mid-season point for the FFSA Series races.

The Summer will give everyone time to prepare for the first edition of the historic and modern « EuroSpeedway 6 Hours » run on the German Lausitz track on 22, 23 and 24 August.
