Luckily enough, the "kit" provided by "Fondation Julie Tonelli pour l'Enfance" contained waterproof products; indeed, they came very handy in this wet season debut. The stickers could be seen on most karts and resisted heavy rain, while caps protected from the rain, awaiting better days to come. In order to see the first few T-shirts in the paddock, we will have to wait for the time when the weather actually goes back to normal, since spring has already begun quite a while ago. Of course, these are not essential aspects.

The Championship of France 2008 is beginning to reach cruise speed, both with reference to its new formula, and its participants. A few things have been improved after Lyon and the race in Salbris has offered an exciting sport show. Julie Tonelli's partnership with FFSA is already well integrated in French world of karting. Moreover, thanks to a greater international visibility of 2008 Championship, many foreign pilots have also chosen the Foundation's pink stickers.

In KF3, a small group of leaders has begun to emerge from the crowd. The fastest pilots are already known, but they still have to score results or points for the Championship. Guillaume De Ridder came in Salbris with Kosmic Team. Full of confidence, Guillaume really impressed by winning everything, from time qualifying to the final, on Sunday. Brandon Maïsano finally reached a podium after Saturday's victory and was 3rd on Sunday. Jonathan Hélias showed impressive determination and talent and left Salbris with two second places. Mathieu Jaminet and Adrien Leidinger were often among the fastest pilots and showed an impressive fighting spirit. Vitto Lorenzo and Maxime Raphoz reached the top 10 on Sunday. Jonas Rodriguès was very unlucky in the finals. Cheer up Jonas!

With over 40 pilots racing, KZ2 category provided an extraordinary show, especially in wet weather. These pilots are really talented! Enzo Zéfirini won his 1st race at this level on Saturday: all Zéfirini team were very happy and moved, under a shower of champagne coming from the podium. The following day it was the turn of another Birel pilot, Thomas Mich, who won on a soaking wet track. Thomas showed all his technical ability by taking the lead of the race and winning with a remarkable advantage. Swiss Ken Allemann tried to reach the Top 10 on Saturday, staged a superb recovery on Sunday, but lost the advantage of his 5th position for a technical non compliance. After a series of chassis adjustment problems, Pierre-Etienne Chaumat obtained a good performance in the pre-final, on Sunday, when he finished 8th. He improved again in the final, where he climbed to 4th position, but then he was forced to abandon.

Sami Luka reappeared at last at the top of KF2 ranking. 6th during timed qualifying on Sunday, 4th in the pre-final and 4th in the final, this nice Belgian pilot succeed at last to obtain results that are up to his talent. William Benedetti also showed a winning performance and recovered a few ranks, up to the third step of the podium on Saturday, while he finished 6th the following day. Life was not that easy for Sébastien Bailly, who succeeded in any case to preserve his Championship chances. Clément Bluy had to wait until Sunday to score good results and obtain 5th position in the final, despite his legendary fighting spirit. American pilot Mardin Benjamin did well in the pre-finals, where he finished in the top 10, but lost his advantage in the finals. The youngest pilot in the group, Nils Bernardet, continued his difficult apprenticeship in KF2, slowly approaching the top half of the ranking. Kevin Mourey had a difficult season debut as far as his kart performances are concerned. With a new chassis that made its debut in Salbris, in addition to a little bit of development, Kevin could score again encouraging results.
