Cauhaupé carried this momentum into the next round at Dijon-Prenois, where he secured a third consecutive podium in race one, and a solid fifth place in race two. At Misano, he qualified on pole for both races. In race one, Cauhaupé lost the lead early, but still finished on the podium in third.

At the final round of the season at Paul Ricard, Cauhaupé ended with two more podiums. He ultimately lost out on title to Amand, and Cauhaupé finished third in the standings.
