With a reverse grid for the second race, Franck lined up 8th. An incident on the first lap allowed Franck up to sixth, and then he overtook another car to move up to 5th - a pretty good first couple of minutes.

It was all for nothing, though, as Bourdais went and crashed into him in the corner, knocking out three Frenchmen from the French race. Good work Le Seb.

So, the only good news from this race is that I got some cool screenshots.
