Motorsport: Jean-Paul von Burg defends title

Practice and the first races on the former GP circuit near Dijon took place in changeable weather conditions. Whether wet or dry - Jean-Paul von Burg was able to win both sprints of the GT3 Cup Challenge from pole position in his ANT Performance Porsche 991 GT3 Cup. The defending champion thus continues to lead the overall standings. In the wet first race, Sina Sara finished second in her 997 GT3 from Group 5c, while Ernst Keller spun several times in the Sportec car but still managed to salvage third overall and second place in Group 5d. Oliver Ditzler, who had started in second place, dropped out of the race but held his own in good conditions on the following day, finishing third behind von Burg and Keller.

Good starting position for Philipp Schnyder
In the Porsche Sports Cup, Marco Zolin-Meyer won the first wet race just ahead of Thomas Brauch and Heinz Bruder (all Cayman GT4 Clubsport). Philipp Schnyder was allowed to start from the pole for the second race with the car taken over from Zolin, but was unable to take advantage of the good starting position (P6). This time Heinz Bruder won ahead of Oliver Metz and Patrick Meystre. In the sprints of groups 7a, b and cR, the duo of Enzo Calderari and Philippe Menotti on a GT3 R from Stadler Motorsport secured victory twice in the overall field. Martin Schneider won the Porsche Driver's Challenge in his 991 GT3, having already clinched victory in the regularity test at Mugello.
