Rénald Guehenneuc, 33, has been passionate about motorsport since he was very young. He has been practicing autocross for five years with his trusty customized car, an orange Peugeot 205. For the third consecutive year he won the regional championship, 1,400 cm category.3.
The Meslinois, originally from Rennes, has been licensed since 2017, at the Breizh cross tour in Guillac (Morbihan). From April to October, he drives on the region's various circuits with his 1990 Peugeot 205.
Seven years he has shared his life between his job as a mason in Saint-Rieul and his passion.
“For mechanics, I trained over the years”
“I had to completely adapt my vehicle so that it complies with the standards of the French Motorsport Federation. And for mechanics, I trained over the years, with my friends who support me, for all these years, explains Rénald Guehenneuc. A passion that he also shares with his partner, Katell and his two children, Curtis, 13 years old and Thiméo, 8 years old.
Every weekend, the family is on the region's circuits. “Katell takes care of the logistics and my sons help me prepare the vehicle. They can't wait to be on the circuits too. »

Rénald Guehenneuc still hopes to be on the podium next season.
