[FR] French Rallies News...

Hi,


As there already exist threads for rally news for several countries I decided to create the one for France, it's easier than getting a thread for each rallies in my country :p :


This thread is for both championships of course(tarmac and gravel) ;)

It's too late for Rallye Lyon-Charbonnières and Alsace-Vosges, then I start to fill this thread with Rallye du Limousin, 3rd event of tarmac championship(held next week)...

Official website: http://asalac.free.fr
Entrylist(almost official) http://asalac.free.fr/RRLV2009/Engages09/limousin09officieuse.htm

Results on http://www.patricksoft.fr/

For the win there should be no suspense(Patrick Henry in the whale should be above everybody else)but different other battles will ba attractive like in the trophée BFGoodrich(with all the S2000 cars), the Suzuki Swift Cup and the Volant Peugeot 207 R3T... :bounce:
 
Tomorrow will be published entrylist of next week Rallye terre du Diois, 3rd round of gravel championship :)

Expect many Belgians as on previous rounds :p :
 
Snijers will not be there, he will drive the same weekend in a regional rally in Belgium (12 hours of Wervik) as preparation for Ypres.

There is also good news: in Rallye Terre de Langres there will be more Belgian drivers: Bernard Munster (Octavia WRC), Bob Colsoul (Lancer Evo 10) , Dominique Bruyneel (Impreza WRC S5), Stéphane Lhonnay (Lancer Evo 10 Group A or Evo 9 Group N), Claudie Tanghe, Patrick Snijers and probably Stefaan Prinzie (C2 R2 Max) and Chris Van Woensel with Lancer Evo 9 Group N from Colsoul Rallysport. :)

And also Andy Gaban/Isidoor Smets with Citroen C2R2Max, as he is the winner of the Patrick Snijers Rally Contest. :D
 
FANTASTIC battle for the lead in Limousin with only 6s gap between Roché(Impreza wrc), Canivenq(207 S2000), Vigion(207 S2000)and Henry(ex-BSA whale)after leg one(7 stages) :eek: :eek:
 
A really interesting battle in France indeed, almost as interesting as in Croatia. 4 top drivers in a margin of 7 seconds. Although it's quite strange that a WRC driver can't beat a Super 2000 car...
 
Jarek, Roché is still discovering his Impreza, and Henry faced engine problems on his whale, without that he would surely be in front ;)
 
Strange !!! Just now the marshalls of the Limousin rally removed Patrick Henry's penalty(10s for one minute late out of service)and he's back in the lead for 3s ahead of Pierre Roche after leg one... :confused:
 
After three stages today Patrick Henry has obviously increased the gap in front...


But behind him fight for the rest of podium has never given-up between Guillaume Canivenq, Pierre Roché and Jean-Sébastien Vigion !!!! :D

Three stages left to decide who will finish 2nd and third of the 2009 Rallye du Limousin, 3rd round of the french tarmac rallies championship :)
 
7s is the gap between Canivenq, Roche and Vigion fighting for the podium places after the penultimate stage of the rallye du Limousin :eek: :eek:


The SS13 and its 29km long road will be decisive...mistakes are forbidden :p :

I have almost never seen an event of the french tarmac championship so disputed until the end :bounce:
