Malaysian driver Mitchell Gilbert took part in the WSK series again, this time in Angerville, France. He was more consistently on the pace this time around in the KF3 category and was on the pace to make it to the final. After the heats he was placed in 31st, meaning he only just missed out on a direct road to the finals by 3 positions. Starting from 3rd in the second chance heat he had trouble on the first lap and was forced to charge back up from well down the field. He made it back up to 10th place, but with only the top 6 making it through to the final Mitch is now looking on to the next round on the 8th-10th of May in Lonato, Italy.
