Qualifying 2 : 3. Michele Faccin – 5. Fabien Thuner – 9. Jochen Habets

Race 1 : It is a real sprint start. With runaways. The safety car joins the track. The cards are reshuffled. Fabien Thuner ends on the 3rd step of the podium ! Michele Faccin has to abandon, Jochen Habets is 11th.

Fabien Thuner:“This is my first podium finish in Eurocup Mégane Trophy ! I didn't drive much in collective testing as I crashed out. I really needed this result. It's done wonders for my confidence”.

Sunday, Race 2 : another day, another scenario.

It is now the turn for  Fabien Thuner, a little too impetuous, to abandon.  And after a thrilling race, it's time for our Italian driver, Michele Faccin to get on the podium, the first of his young career in Megane Trophy. It also highlights the strong performance, and progression of Jochen Habets, who finished 5th.

Michele Faccin:"For my first season in saloon car racing, I'm really happy to already be on the podium. I’m improving and I feel better and better in the car. The team is helping me to progress quickly. I can’t wait for the Nürburgring."
