Nantet in front of all S2000&R5 ?? That must be a crazy ride with 911.....

[vino_93]

@AndyRAC : it's an Opel Adam Cup with Cup cars, not R2. Second year here. Germany of course has one, and I think Czech and Belgium (or Switzerland ?) should have one too this year.

@Ucci : no top driver with S2000 in fact. But yes, crazy ride by Nantet. I forgot to say that he is no more driving the powerful GT+ Porsche, but a classic GT10 Porsche. GT+ come from track cars, and GT10 from classic road cars.



So finally victory for Salanon Baud had to retire, so we find 2 C4 on the podium. Great drive by Marty, fourth for his first time with a WRC. It's even a long time ago he didn't drive a 4WD car (Monte 2010). Last year he finished 5th in Opel Cup.
Easy win for Nantet in amator champ, whereas Jouines wins in Opel Cup.
France Junior round for Yohann Rossel, new Rallye Jeune FFSA, so it was his second rally. He beats Lieffroy, for his third year in R1, who has a bit more experience that Lieffroy.

Cheers thanks. So it seems that more countries are having an Opel Adam Cup. I won't hold my breath for one in UK. People would much rather drive RWD Escorts.....

Is Maurin saving money for WRC-2?

[vino_93]

Maurin plans were to do WRC-2 + some events in France (Touquet, 2 other on tarmac + one on gravel).
So yes for the moment, he saves money for this. Bu after two retirements, even if his pace was correct in Portugal, I don't know if he will continue or not.

[mousti]

I think with his improvement in pace, I think he should better do some ERC events, he would be very fast in Ypres, way faster than last time..

According to Rumeurs2rallye website Jean-Marie Cuoq would have bought a DS3 WRC and sold his C4 to Jean-Sébastien Vigion !!!! Hope it's true

Bryan Bouffier with the Hyundaï I20 WRC and Sébastien Chardonnet with the Citroën C4 WRC on Rallye d'Antibes held at the end of this month

Poor in number but quite good in quality though
Why no Jaro Kinnunen in 208 cup this time

No Brunson anymore in French championship this year.
