It's not just the lack of fundings. Brunson (and others) have already complained about the French calendar. Except for le Touquet, all events are in the Southern part of France. Closest event from le Touquet is 650km south (Limousin). Rallye du Var has the biggest travel-distance (more than 1100km) from le Touquet. As driver from North, it's very hard to get a project such as the French championship sold to your sponsors. In fact, apart from that one event (Le Touquet), all Belgian events are closer than French, for him. So no wonder he was considering taking part of the Belgian championship last year...

It's link to money. It costs more to travel to South of France. It's more difficult to find sponsors for events so far from them ...
But for the moment, the first reason is that he can't finance himself, and he planned to attract new sponsors with his new car, but it didn't work. Fault of the championship, fault of bad economic situation ...
Next year a D2 championship will be created. I hope it will be good placed in France, with races in the North and West, where nothing happened now. Whereas there is really great french cup events.

This guy is really good ... too bad there is no opportunity to do an international carrier with Opel.
Cuoq logicaly leading. These roads are in favour of 2.0L cars instead of new WRC's. But let's wait, Limousin is a difficult race.
Other surprising result is the one of Camilli. Leading Peugeot Cup, by 1" on Lefebvre. Really good.

In the afternoon, extraordinary times of Maurin. He came back on Cuoq, and is now leading by a confortable margin of 16" on him. Salanon (Fiesta), Roche (Mini) and Rousset (C4) are still at the same place. Bonato were a bit in trouble, but a fantastic time on the 4th stage keep him 6th. Beaubelique is 7th and leads the Amator Trophy.
Camilli improve the gap with Lefebvre in Peugeot Cup, whereas Berfa is 3rd.
JOuines lost time in Opel, and let the lead to Bernardi. Marché is second.

More difficulties for Bonato today. He lost time and now is far away. Unfortunately he didn't achieve a Top ten, but that was incredible to see him so highly classified.
Maurin easily wins the rally. He controls Cuoq, whereas Salanon was totally out of the game. But it's a new podium for him. Roché is still 4th, and Rousset 5th.
After a great fight, Rouillard finished 6th and wins the Michel Trophy, ahead of Beaubelique and Guigou, who wins the N group.
1 Maurin (Fiesta WRC)
2 Cuoq (C4 WRC) 30"
3 Salanon (Fiesta WRC) 2'26
4 Roché (Mini WRC) 3'37
5 Rousset (C4 WRC) 5'43
6 Rouillard (Porsche 997 Cup) 6'46
7 Beaubelique (Fiesta R5) 6'55
8 Guigou (Mégane RS) 7'16
9 Martel (207 S2000) 7'39
10 Hot (Impreza N15) 8'00
Camilli wins the Peugeot Trophy. Great drive for the Rallye Jeune 2013 - who had a small experience in 2008 where he drove three in Peugeot Trophy, without finishing events, then he did a Suzuki Swift Cup round, and retire. He came back last year by winning the Rallye Jeune selection, he achieved a great drive with his DS3 R1, and finished 6th and 10th in Cévennes and Var a DS3 R3.
