“I must be one of those who have won the most promotional packages”

Cédric, can you introduce yourself?

I am 51 years old, I am regional manager in a chemistry laboratory, located not far from Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid, which rally enthusiasts know well. I am married to Anne, father of two children: Loïc, 21 years old, and Constance, 10 years old. I am licensed at ASA Ondaine, member of the rally commission of the Federation and the League.

How did your desire to do motorsport come about?

It's a family passion that comes from my father, my mother, my uncle… But, like everyone from Stéphane, I started with football. Before being quickly attracted by the smell of engines. At 16, I started as a co-driver, alongside my father in particular. I then took part in the Ambert hill climb before starting rallying.

In 1991, behind the wheel of a Simca Rally2!

Yes, we did a few seasons with it.

For your fourth race, in 1992, you won your class…

It was at the Gentiane rally, with the Simca 1000. I think I won in front of my uncle (Jean-Luc Gladosz. Editor’s note) who was the “terror” of the class.

After the final of the Coupe de France of regional rallies in Arras in 1992, you took part in the final of the Critérium national des rallies ré
