F2000: Zacharie Robichon wins race 2 at BEMC Sprint Trophy
From press release
Round 2 of the Formula 2000 Canada Championship, part of the BEMC Spring Trophy Races at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park was a race to remember for three of Canada’s top three young drivers. Ottawa, Ontario resident Zacharie Robichon used skill, patience and pounced when opportunity presented itself to take the top step of the podium in a race that thrilled spectators every lap. Nathan Blok, Chase Pelletier and Robinchon battled it out fiercely. With just three laps to go, the leaders approached a back marker in the last corner of the circuit. Blok got pinned. Pelletier slid up beside and Robichon made it three-wide across the line and into corner 1. Robichon held on and made the double pass stick and assumed the lead into corner one over Pelletier and Blok. Robichon would hold on to win, with Pelletier crossing the line just a tenth back and Blok only a half second back. Fred Bross finished an impressive fourth and Dean Baker fifth. The fastest laps of the race were just as impressive with Pelletier posting a best time of 1m21.246 over Blok’s 1m21.276 and Robichon’s 1m21.382. The next event will be the MCO May Madness, May 29-31 at Calabogie Motorsport Park, located just west of Ottawa, Ontario. |
