The opening round of the 2026 FFVRC French 1/8th nitro buggy national championship was held at the beautiful ARF42 track located near Lyon. The Elite class saw Corsatec driver Noha Ben Mohamed taking the overall TQ after the qualifying. After some challenging qualifying, Team Associated’s Clément Boda won the fastest semi. This meant he started #1 on the grid for the final. Clem was then able to keep the lead and secure the win. Rémy Bermudez, driving for XRAY and starting in fifth place, ended up in second, with Théo Lemaire from Tekno taking third.
