News from France

Yesterday and today is running the Finale de la Coupe de France 2022 in Béthune, northern(postponed to early 2023), and Thomas Chauffray(Skoda)is about to win it(in front of Jérémi Ancian, VW Polo) ;)
 
Jan Skala from CZ(208 Rally4)is currently 5th on the Rallye Pays de Grasse Fleurs et Parfums and Ola Nore Jr from Norway(Opel Adam R2)is currently 7th ;)
 
In order to prepare the ERC Rally Poland(Junior ERC round), Timo Schulz will take part to the Rallye Castines Terre d'Occitanie, second round of the french gravel championship next week ;)

The first rally he took part with the Opel, was in Hungary last month and he won the Rally4 class ahead of all the Peugeot Cup drivers ;)

Let's see if he can do this again with the "french Stellantis Cup" drivers :D
 
Yoann Bonato just won the Rallye d'Antibes yesterday ;)

Incredible Raphaël Astier in the Alpine, he almost finished on the overall podium(ahead of Léo Rossel and Ciamin) :eek:

Overall the rally was quite rainy and wet, and many problems in the choice of tyres :s

Many news for 2024 french championship!! :D

The most surprising is Sarrazin Motorsport which switch from VW Polo to Ford Fiesta Rally2(in partnership with M-Sport)and three cars will run on tarmac championship with Jean-Baptiste Franceschi, Sarah Rumeaux and Réhane Gany

In the same time, Sarah will run the entire gravel championship with the Fiesta too, as she wants to improve on this type of terrain ;)

The most recent news is Yoann Bonato, tarmac champion, who had to switch from CHL Sport Auto to a total new team, Trajectus Motorsport, created by the 24H of Le Mans triple winner Benoît Tréluyer :)

Tréluyer is good friend to Bonato, but the main reason the new team accepted to enter rally world was because Citroën Racing gave them the "green light" and will give the the latest spec. C3 Rally2 ;)

Note CHL Sport Auto should also engage one or two Hyundaï Rally2 in the tarmac championship...

Despite having lost the "WRC2 market"(to belgian DG Motorsport), PH Sport will have four C3 Rally2 on tarmac championship this year, for Léo Rossel, Anthony Fotia(winner of the 2023 Stellantis Cup), Swiss Jonathan Hirschi and Olivier Giroux...

Rumours about Hugo Margaillan in the CHL Sport Auto Hyundaï and Eric Camilli in the same car but with 2C Compétition...
