TCR World and life

15 The second weekend of the year, at Circuit Paul Ricard turned into a family affair, as Teddy and Jimmy Clairet heard La Marseillaise being played twice for the glory of France and Peugeot. After setting pole position, Teddy took a lights-to-flag victory in Saturday’s race (above) ahead of Felice Jelmini, while his brother Jimmy beat Niels Langeveld to complete the podium (left). On Sunday, Jimmy was able to imitate his brother. With a great getaway from P4 on the grid, the Frenchman passed the three drivers ahead – Azcona, Girolami and pole-sitter Viktor Davidovski – in one move and then managed to keep Azcona at bay until the end of the race (below).
