Surprising victory at the Lamera Cup: Scania France triumphs in Castellet!

As part of the Lamera Cup, there were exciting races at the weekend, which shone with surprising twists and strong performances by the teams. On July 13, 2025, the team Scania France won with Auto No. 41 at the long race in Castellet. The team, which originally expected a second place, benefited from an unexpected turn when other teams made mistakes. With a time that was not published, they prevailed in front of Auto No. 421 and celebrated a courageous triumph. Eric Darné, the spokesman for the victorious team, was surprised at the unexpected victory because they had lost a minute at the petrol station, which threatened to reset second place.

The standard violation of the organizer Wilfried Merafina, who was punished, was particularly remarkable. Joffrey Dorchy, a driver in the Scania team, stayed at the wheel for too long during the race, which brought the team a 7th place overall. Auto No. 80 from Continental Racing also landed in 7th place and the reigning champions with Lamera No. 1 were forced to give up the race. In the Pro-am category, Auto No. 5 of Venum by Hedonic Racing celebrated a victory and reached the 3rd place in the overall ranking. In addition, the car no. 78 of CTF Gustomobile won in the gentleman category, which came up with a striking candy pink paint.

Next race in Portugal

The next meeting of the Lamera Cup world is scheduled for the period from September 5th to 7th in Portimao, Portugal. There is the prestigious 24-hour race on the program, which will certainly promise more exciting duels.
