HIGHLIGHTS
Disturbed by some steering problems on his C3, Léo Rossel missed a chicane and crashed. At the finish, he lost 10s7 to Yoann Bonato, author of his second scratch since the start. The Trajectus driver thus comes back to 16s9 behind his opponent. Behind them, Eric Camilli remains helpless and sees the two C3s escaping.
With a C3 damaged at the rear following its somersault in SS4, Florent Todeschini set a remarkable second time, very close to the scratch. The CHL driver took the opportunity to take provisional fourth place against Lucas Darmezin, still closely followed by Pablo Sarrazin.
In FRGT, Anthony Cosson loses time against Raphaël Astier but maintains a good place in the top 8 in scratch.

PILOT REACTIONS
| L. Rossel 9:21.0 | I still have hard spots in the turns. And I got trapped in a chicane while thinking about that, I lost about fifteen seconds. |
| Y. Bonato 9:10.3 | There was no more chicanery at one point. I braked and made the turn anyway. It’s still not easy even if there is more grip than this morning. |
| E. Camilli 9:12.9 | The problem is not the tires I think, it’s more the setup which is too soft because it dries quite a bit. The car is new every round and sometimes it’s not good. |
| S.Rumeau 9:33.1 | It dries so quickly that you could go through it much faster. We continue to progress in these conditions. |
| By L.Darmez 9:19.5 | We’re really starting to enjoy it. I got trapped a little on a right, but it’s okay. |
| R. Gany | GOOD. I think it’s my best stage today. We made a good choice of tires for the afternoon, so that’s cool. |
| R.Astier 9:19.8 | It’s difficult, I don’t really enjoy it. We’re a little scared. We put a lot more commitment. |
| C.Robert | It’s much more pleasant. We used intermediate tires and it was perhaps better on soft. We have some box issues. |
| P. Sarrazin | It’s not bad. We are in a fight with Réhane too. |
