IAME International Wrap

by

James Wharton was the only Australian to make the finals at the 2019 IAME International Final at Le Mans this past week.

A couple of heat wins and third in the pre-final gave Wharton hope, but a push-and-shove Junior final saw him drop drop to 13th by the end.

Special mention for Cody Gillis, big drive in Final-B to take the win and transfer to the main X30 Senior final, however a post-race nosecone penalty dropped him to 6th and therefore out of the event.

Similarly in X30 Master, Mark Domaschenz was on target to qualify for the final until a last heat DNF forced him into final-B, where he finished second.
