In fact he said he could still run selected events, but no more complete championship...and with any cars(not only Clio R3)

Entrylist available(no starting order yet)...
As expected Belgians will be numerous after the french crews...

Final entrylist(starting order)of this week-end's Rallye du Rouergue
http://3a66.free.fr/rallye/rouergue/engages.pdf


Even if Patrick Henry should be the fav' for the win, behind him the S2000 duel between Canivenq(who will be at home), Vigion and Gal(back with the 207 after the Grande Punto)will be to closely follow

Of course we shouldn't count off Pierre Roché(more and more used to the Subaru)and Jean-Michel Da Cunha(at home on this event)

Also the return of Robert and the arrival in Clio R3 for Pelamourgues will give a great interest to the R3 class(difficult to see the winner between Guigou, Robert and "Pela")

I forgot to mention the presence of Belgian Thierry Neuville with his C2R2 at the Rallye du Rouergue
Can also do something interesting in the Group R

After the four stages that were run today in Rouerge, this is how it looks in overall classification:

1. Canivenq
2. Roche at 7"8
3. Vigion at 9"2
4. Da Cnha at 13"5
5. Henry at 17"2
6. Gal at 1'04"1
7. Guigou at 1'09"0
8. Robert at 1'24"7

12. Neuville at 2'49"9

Rallye Rouerge is finished. Here are the results:

1. Canivenq
2. Vigion at 32"4
3. Da Cunha at 2'38"5
4. Guigou at 5'38"9
5. Robert at 6'47"9
6. Lemonnier at 9'44"1
7. Barral at 10'48"7
8. Neuville at 11'10"2

First overall victory for S2000 car in France, local boy Cnivenq won in front of his teammate Vigion. Very nice performance by Thierry Neuville, being 8th overall and winning the Citroen Trophy.

Walter, Barral wasn't part of Citroën Trophy? How come?

Maybe i misphrased my previous post, what i wanted to say is that he won the C2R2Max confrontation, from what i have seen on entry Barral was not running a Max? Do you have any more info about this, as Tom is still on hollidays.

Did you notice the driver in 5th position? Nice to see Cedric in action again!

It seems French S2000 cars are faster than WRCs! Look at the French championship standings after Rouergue:

1. Guigou 50 - Renault Cio R3,
2. Canivenq 49 - Peugeot 207 S2000,
3. Vigion 47 - Peugeot 207 S2000,
4. Henry 40 - Peugeot 307 WRC,
5. Barral 37 - Citroen C2 R2

Superb entrylist of next week's Rallye terre de Langres(gravel championship)

http://asalangres.free.fr/asa%202009...%20engages.htm

Laurent Carbonaro in a Ford Focus(his whale was too damaged after previous crash), return of favourite Jean-Marie Cuoq in his whale,...

Big fight in the 2WD between the Clio R3, 207 R3T and C2 R2,...

Another interesting rally to follow this week-end, the Rallye de la Montagne noire

More Belgians than usual on this event, especially in GrNs
Overall of course better belgian chances are Bruyneel and Munster with their WRC cars(though the return of Cuoq will make very hard a belgian victory)...

In the Citroën Racing trophy note the presence of Thierry Neuville and Claudie Tanghe(but favorite is "polish champion" Bouffier)
Three other belgian crews in Fiesta N3s are also on entry

In the Volant 207 Swiss Laurent Reuche is among favorites for victory there too...
