One month after the season opener in Barcelona, the Porsche Carrera Cup France returned to France, and more specifically to Burgundy. The second round of the year took place at Dijon-Prenois. It marked the return of Mathys Jaubert at the wheel of the N°16 Team Martinet by Alméras. The 2024 runner-up had missed the first meeting to take part in the European Le Mans Series with IDEC Sport.
Mathys Jaubert led the way in free practice, but was beaten by Marcus Amand in qualifying for Race 1. The CLRT Schumacher resident took his very first pole position in the championship. At the start, the Finn was not in the right place on the grid. He received a five-second penalty. Remaining in the lead, Marcus Amand set a blistering pace, but Mathys Jaubert managed to stay in the right window. Second under the chequered flag, the Martinet by Alméras driver finally overtook the poleman. Paul Cauhaupé (ABM), who has been impressively consistent since the start of the season, scored another good result by finishing third. Louis Perrot (Schumacher CLRT) was just off the podium. Hugo Chevalier (Debard Automobiles by Racetivity) entered the top-5. On the grid for the second Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland race on Saturday morning, Marvin Klein had made an express trip to also line up in PCCF. The ABM driver started last after missing out on qualifying, but made a fine comeback to finish seventh.
Chester Kieffer continued his clear round in the Rookie class. The CLRT Schumacher resident won for the third time in succession, ahead of Joran Leneutre (Racing Technology). Karen Gaillard (Schumacher CLRT) was on the podium for the first time in her career. The Junior PCCF 2025 confirmed its rise to prominence.
The Pro-Am category offered the usual duel of the last two years. On his rival’s home turf, Jérôme Boullery (Racing Technology) won the first race ahead of Marc Guillot (ABM). Stung to the core, outgoing champion Marc Guillot retaliated on Sunday. The Dijon-born ABM man could celebrate a victory at home. Cyril Caillo (Racing Technology) finished third after a fine effort, having been struck down by a virus that had troubled him all weekend.
Following Eric Debard’s (Debard Automobiles by Racetivity) one-two finish in Catalonia, Jordan Boisson followed suit in the Am class at Dijon. The TFT Racing driver got the better of Jean-Philippe Gambaro (ABM), who had taken both poles in the class, and Eric Debard by claiming a double victory.
The Porsche Carrera Cup France will travel to Spa-Francorchamps at the end of June (20-22) for the third round of the year.
