During the test days, Matthieu and his mechanic worked hard to define the best settings on this circuit in Brno that Matthieu well knows.
Unfortunately, their efforts have been inconclusive since Matthieu is only on the second line on the starting grid.

Warm up:
Matthieu is pursued by bad luck because he breaks his engine. He will have to start with an engine "emergency", which has already lived well ...

This is not done to facilitate my task. We'll see. I just wish that it takes the whole race.

Race:
Matthieu makes a good start. From the first corners, he imposes his own pace and win a place. From the second round, he is on the top 10.
Handicapped by his engine and tires, it's hard to achieve good lap times. But he goes on, relentlessly, his efforts.
On the fifth lap, Matthieu has managed a very nice rebound and is on 9th place. He goes hunting for his compatriot Fabien Foret. A lap later, he is unleashed and passes Forest to take over  the 8th position and then the 7th, one lap later.
Matthieu leads the second group of head and manages its very strong growth and pressure for several laps.
A few laps from the finish, unfortunately, the engine begins to give up the ghost, and it must slow down, if he wants to finish the race and score points.
Result: Matthieu slips back to 9th place and is forced to settle for this position until the checkered flag.
