Cupra EKS driver Adrien Tambay and Norbert Michelisz of Hyundai Motorsport N shared the victories of the ETCR Pool Fast semi finals at Pau Ville on Sunday morning.

Tambay got ahead at the start of the first heat, leading team-mate Tom Blomqvist and Romeo Ferraris’ Maxime Martin. The positions remained unchanged during the three-lap semi final, with the drivers crossing the line in the same order.

Michelisz took the lead at the start, with Hyundai team-mate Jean-Karl Vernay sitting in second place and Luca Filippi of Romeo Ferraris in third.

Filippi attacked Vernay, overtaking for second place at Turn 1 on lap two, but with the Frenchman coming back and recovering the position three corners later.

Vernay closed the gap to Michelisz, coming side-by-side on the main straight, but the Hungarian was able to stay ahead. Michelisz won the second semi final, with Vernay in second place and Filippi in third.

The Pool Furious semi finals start at 10:30 CEST.
