Agree. Lefevbre's DS3 WRC ruined the competition for a win in this rally.
Good performance from Bouffier. With him at the wheel Hyundai can finally win some important title.

This event also counted for the swiss championship and was won by swiss driver Ivan Ballinari(Skoda Fabia R5)after leader Sébastien Caron(Ford Fiesta R5)crashed...
Two french Citroën DS3 R5 finished behind Ballinari :D

Big surprise: in 2019 Peugeot-Sport will offer...a Citroën C3 R5 to the winner of the current season 208 Rally Cup :eek:
It'll be for next year's french tarmac rallies championship(so no ERC anymore :confused: )...
This coming week-end is the first round of the 208 cup on the gravel of the Rallye des Causses and they will be 19 crews there(among new entrants welsh driver Meirion Evans or Abu Dhabi's Mohammed Al Mutawaa with a new irish codriver,...) ;)
Overall a very good entrylist on Rallye Terre des Causses, even without presence of Jean-Marie Cuoq(multiple champion of the discipline) :)

Next week there's the 2nd event of the French tarmac championship, Lyon-Charbonnières. The entry list looks phenomenal. 28 R5 cars! Link to the list: https://www.rallye-sport.fr/liste-de...onnieres-2018/ The rally is held on friday afternoon and saturday. Total of 13 stages, making it 227 kms of SS.
Amazing entry list indeed! And what a variety of cars!
interesting fight between Bonato with c3 r5 against Bouffier with i20 r5.
at first stage Bonato 6,4 sec faster.Bouffier just 4th faster stage time.Stage interrupted from accident of Habouzit

Many firemen and ambulances on SS1 Lyon-Charbonnières following Habouzit's crash(rolled four times apparently!!) :mark:
But according latest rumours if Thibaut and his sister and codriver Sandra are a bit hurt, this would be not too serious...let's hope so :(
