The battle in the Alpine Elf Europa Cup resumes in Barcelona

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The summer break is coming to a close for the #alpineelfeuropacup competitors with the calendar's penultimate round on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Twenty-two drivers will be on hand for a weekend that could mark a turning point in the different title races!

In its sixth season since its revival in 2018, the #alpineelfeuropacup offers a highly competitive spectacle. Five different drivers have already won from eight races. After a well-deserved break, the contenders will meet again in Barcelona from 14 to 16 September, then at Le Castellet from 6 to 8 October, for two decisive rounds in the four crowns at stake: General, Juniors, Challengers and Gentlemen.

A BATTLE OF JUNIORS AT THE TOP
In this vastly renewed field last winter, three young drivers have emerged at the sharp end of the general classification to battle for a €40,000 prize-fund with a view to moving up to GT4. 
With three victories to his credit, Belgian Lorens Lecertua has a ten-point lead over Enzo Geraci, who has won two races. After successfully transitioning from Formula 4 to the #alpineelfeuropacup, the two promising young drivers will look to distance themselves from their rivals and seal the title for Chazel Technologie Course Junior. However, they must be wary of Romain Favre (VPS Racing), who is just 18 points adrift of first place. Coming from the Trophée Mitjet 2L France, the Frenchman has also marched onto the podium's top step and intends to do his utmost as the final sprint nears.
Slightly behind, Tim Mérieux (Autosport GP) hopes to return to his winning ways to stay in contention, whilst Léo Jousset (Race Cars Consulting) is eager to convert his speed into a maiden success. Meanwhile, Jules Gougeon (Chazel Technologie Course Junior), Ethan Bernard (Herrero Racing), Romain Brun (Herrero Racing) and Sami Dhahri (VPS Racing) will need to make up ground on the leaders if they are to keep their chances alive.

Lastly, Willyam Gosselin (VPS Racing) and Lukas Papin (Autosport GP) will continue their learning process with the aim of narrowing the gap to the leaders while 2019 Junior champion Matéo Herrero (Herrero Racing) will return.

CATELIN LEADS AMONG THE CHALLENGERS
The Challengers category introduced this year for competitors aged between 23 and 44 without track record has seen Adrien Catelin (Code #racing Development) stand out from the pack with an overall victory in mixed conditions in Dijon. 
The French driver has won four times in his class to put himself in the running for the title and the €10,000 prize money on offer to the winner. Despite winning three of the last four races, his closest rival Thibaut Bossy (Herrero Racing) knows that he will have to maintain this high level of performance if he is to have any hope of extending the battle to the season-finale. 
Meanwhile, Margaux Verza (Autosport GP) will look to confirm her excellent progress with a first win, as will Pierre-Laurent Figuiere (Chazel Technologie Course) and Nogaro winner Denis Bernardi (Herrero Racing).
