HIGHLIGHTS

Already a winner at Castine and Aleria, Matthieu Margaillan has won his third victory in four rallies this season after a totally controlled race. Behind him, Laurent Pellier still lacked a bit of pace to threaten the Skoda driver. Despite his exemplary consistency, the Hyundai driver saw his rival widen the gap at the top of the championship. The biggest loser of the weekend was Florent Todeschini, betrayed by the mechanics of his C3 yesterday.

For his first in Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, and without competition for a year and a half, Hugo Louvel seemed able to take the last step of the podium. That was without counting on a slow puncture and a slight touch in this last special. The Toyota driver finally gave up his third place to Emmanuel Gascou, author of his first podium since 2021.

Sixth at the finish, Sarah Rumeau achieved her best result in the French Gravel Championship.

In Rally3, Simon Heinemann maintained the advantage over Julien Pontal, beaten by five seconds. In Stellantis, Valentin Ascenzi had an almost perfect day to finally win with a three-second margin over Loïc Costes and Julien Casale. The former Rallye Jeunes driver was in fourth place, almost thirty seconds behind the leader yesterday evening.

In the Clio Trophy, Tom Pellerey had the perfect race and consolidated his position as leader in the championship before the last event. Not far from Pellerey in the scratch ranking, Loïc Astier wins a first victory in the FRallyNat group.

PILOT REACTIONS

M.Margaillan We won 3 out of 4 rounds, so it’s definitely positive. We took a lead in the championship, and that’s pretty comfortable. Laurent is still there at the finish.
L.Pellier They really pushed very very hard. We were not able to compete with them. It is a 4th consecutive podium in 4 races, it is good. It is a championship where you have to be consistent because there are no jokers. Now, Matthieu is starting to take the lead.
B.Clemençon We don’t really understand the gap because we’re really good in the car. We’re going to try to work. Is it the car or me? We’ll have to see because it’s pushing very hard behind. We would have liked the podium, but in my opinion, it’s gone.
E.Gascou I am very happy with my race and with the team. I recovered well to find the right settings with them. I got back into the rhythm well before the Cardabelles.
H. Louvel We didn’t attack. We hit a rock, slow puncture. At the end, the wheel came off. We went off 200m from the finish. It’s disgusting, we had the perfect weekend.
