Mark Champeau
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk2vPGUm8MY
Can some one on here, maybe from France tell me more about Mark Champeau, he seems to have astounding car control and I know he did Rally Catalunya in 1999 but retired with an accident. Did he have many victories in the French National series and do people think he could have gone further in the WRC if he had not met an untimely end
Any info would be appreciated

Big fan of Champeau's driving, only on video of course. He certainly had a big fan base in France, fantastic car control.
Here he is on the 99 Rallye du Limousin:

(there's also some kid in a yellow Saxo but don't think he went too far......)

Apparently he did some top 10 times before early retirement on Catalunya Rally '99.

Makes you wonder if he would've got as far as say Loeb, a same generation driver. Defenitly prefere his driving style to say the least.

That is awsome video! Coupe Impreza is one of the best looking rally car in the history of WRC
Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:

amazing driving!
All 3 manufacturers are pushing for things to remain until the end of the 26. Not even the goons running the WRC will be stupid enough to push them out by forcing new regs for 25
