OUTSTANDING-LE-MANS
We've attended 2 exciting races in Le Mans. The young Finn Rico Salmela led the first race before being overtaken by the Spanish Angel Piqueras in the last lap, who won the race.
Piqueras also won the second race after an exciting competition with the Italian Guido Pini and the Spanish Alberto Ferrández. It was his 5th victory of the season. At 16 years old, he already has all the qualities of a great man!
