The order for Téo Calvet was clear – to win the French championship. “I tried not to admit it, but I couldn’t quite get it out of my head,” Téo admitted as part of the celebrations that could have erupted in full force on Sunday. On the opening day of the race weekend, he did pass his only rival for the title, Janiec, on the last corner, but dropped to sixth place after a penalty. “After a short period of joy came a return to reality, but I stayed calm and finished second in the next race.” Before the final day of the championship, Téo needed just two points to win the title. “I finished second and the celebrations could begin. But my dad was right that champions should finish in style, so I won the last race and can focus on Jarama.”
