Marco Kutscher and Cornet's Cristallo (Cornet Obolensky x Pilot) took yet another big Grand Prix win, when they went to the top in St. Tropez on Saturday.

There were no less than eight clears in the second round, and the third fastest was Brazil's Marlon Zanotelli on Zerlin M (Berlin x Concorde) who was 0.20 seconds slower than Moya.
