Now that the summer break is over, Porsche Carrera Cup France was back on track at the historic Dijon-Prenois circuit. Six years after its last visit, the championship brought its 992 GT3 Cup cars to the Burgundy circuit for the first time. Although he was new to the track at the wheel of the Porsche, Alessandro Ghiretti soon got into the rhythm. In qualifying, the Junior Porsche Motorsport 2024 took his seventh and eighth pole positions of the year.

Race 1, contested on Saturday afternoon, saw the overall leader triumph once again after 30 minutes in complete control. By contrast, the battle for second place was fierce. It pitted Mathys Jaubert (Martinet by Alméras) against Louis Perrot (CLRT Schumacher). The PCCF 2023 junior and the former simracer kept at it, but the former held the advantage under the chequered flag. Marvin Klein (ABM) managed to climb back up to fourth place, despite a stint in the gravel trap that kept him out of the fight for the top-3. The only rookie to have won just once so far, Marcus Amand (Schumacher CLRT) added a second success in the category. The Franco-Finnish driver won after a tough but fair battle with Paul Cauhaupé (Schumacher CLRT). The PCCF 2024 junior had taken pole. Victor Bernier (Martinet by Alméras) was third.

Once again on the top of the grid in Race 2, Alessandro Ghiretti pulled away perfectly. Lap after lap, his pace increased. He finished the job without a moment's hesitation to claim his seventh victory in eight races. For the third time in four meetings, he took two wins, two poles and two fastest laps. Marvin Klein's second-place finish drove ABM wild with joy. For the first time in their history, the Haute-Savoie-based team placed one of its cars on the overall podium. The two-time champion of the discipline, his team-mates and the members of the team jumped for joy after this collective triumph. It was undoubtedly one of their finest achievements to date.

The two rivals from the previous day were now battling it out for the last step of the podium. And just as on Saturday, Mathys Jaubert never gave in to Louis Perrot, who was as aggressive as ever. On braking into the first corner, or in the following sequences, the CLRT Schumacher resident came within a hair's breadth of the driver in front of him several times, without ever gaining a significant advantage. Starting from ninth place, Marcus Amand overtook fifth-placed Paul Cauhaupé in the opening laps. The battle was intense, but the previous day's winner once again came out on top. With this one-two finish, the N°99 rider gains important points in the Rookie championship.

The Pro-Am category became a duel between Marc Guillot and Jérôme Boullery. On his home turf, the ABM driver was determined to shine. Neck-and-neck in both events, the
Dijon-born driver emerged victorious from his battle with the two-time Racing Technology champion. Cyril Caillo (Racing Technology) dominated the Am category from Friday to
Sunday. Jean-Philippe Gambaro (CLRT Schumacher) finished twice behind him, while Jordan Boisson (TFT Racing) and Eric Debard (Debard Automobiles by Racetivity) shared
third place.

The Porsche Carrera Cup France returns to the Mugello circuit in just two weeks' time, on September 27-28-29.
