What happened to Maurin?
Anyway, the i20's first victory is a fact. :)
Yes lot of rain, bad tyre choice. Too bad for Maurin as he did an extraordinary race.
Thanks. :)

Tyre choice denied Maurin's win. Gr8 battle for 3rd place between Roger Feghali (207 s2000) Nantet and Rouillard in 911 GT3 and Roche in Mini wrc. Unfortunatly Roger hit a wall and broke the rear arm in ss8. Gr8 drive from Camilli as well, very talented youngster.
Maurin easily leads the rally by a margin of 1'00"2. He won 8 of the 9 first stages.
But for the 3 last stages, rain came. Maurin did a bad tyre choice, and Bouffier won by 22". He choose his tyre at the last moment, and that was the best possible.
The rain was really short (storm) and due to this, amator driver Xavier Baze wins the stage 10 with a C2 R2.
To my mind it is very concerning and frustrating for Hyundai the fact that their factory-car is a lot slower to a private car.i was expecting bouffier to win because of the support of a factory team and and the factory car.what is your opinion guys?i am very interested to hear.maybe i miss something.
