Stephan Wins the French Champion 2024 flying Viper 6
Published on:
15 May 2024
Stephane Fontana finished in the 1st place at the French 2024 Paramotor Championship held near Chateauroux from May 8th to May 12th.
With 46 pilots competing in various categories, it was an intense event.
Stéphane Fontana led the solo foot-launched PF1 category from the start, winning the first two tasks and maintaining his lead throughout the competition. Glenn Micheland took the 2nd place, winning the last task very close behind Stephan! In the solo trike category PL1, Michaël Merle took the title by winning the final task, which was pure economy and required good thermal flight skills.
Notably, two Viper 6 wings made it to the podium in the PF1 class, both flown by pilots that are relatively new in classic competitions. This showcases both the pilots' skills and the capabilities of the Viper 6.
Congratulations to all the competitors and Ozone pilots for their hard work and impressive performances!
Well done, Stephan, Glenn and Michael on your victory, and to everyone for making the French 2024 Paramotor Championship a success!
