The 2017 PRO class title fight arrives at its mid-season fulcrum with almost nothing between the leading crews.
Imperiale Racing's Vito Postiglione and seventeen-year-old Jonathan Cecotto lead the PRO standings after sweeping both races at Silverstone, but only two points cover the top three crews heading into Paul Ricard.
Postiglione brings years of GT experience while Cecotto, in his debut Super Trofeo season, brings the kind of fearlessness that only a seventeen-year-old can deliver.
Carlos Sarrea of Autovitesse broke through with his first Lamborghini Cup win at Silverstone and lurks close behind the Van der Horst Motorsport teammates separated by just seven points.
Race 1 starts Saturday at 2:30 p.m. local time and Race 2 on Sunday at 1:35 p.m., both 50-minute contests with rolling starts and mandatory pit stops that could redraw the entire championship order.
Every competitor races an identical Huracán Super Trofeo, so the series strips away the engineering arms race and makes the driver the only variable.
Sergey Afanasiev of ArtLine Team Georgia, who took a third-place finish at Silverstone, will partner with Giorgio Maggi and could play the role of spoiler if the leading crews neutralize each other.
Kikko Galbiati of Antonelli Motorsport leads the PRO-AM standings with a nine-point cushion and will share his Huracán Super Trofeo with Davide Roda at Paul Ricard.
