Another useful link(in french) ;)

Entrylist could be published today(more likely tomorrow though)...

According to different forums, there will be 211 entries(+21 entries in historical vehicles) :D
But only three WRCs(one Subaru, one whale, one 206)... :s

Several S2000s and kit-cars to contest the Trophée BFGoodrich there :p :

Pascal Enjolras will run for the first time in his new Lotus Exige GT(he's preparing since more than one year now)... :up:
Many Porsches are awaited among them Gilles Nantet and Romain Dumas(who also runs endurance/circuit with the make)...

Finally Pascal Enjolras let the GT Lotus Exige in garage to run the 206 CC F2000...

Gilles Nantet isn't on entrylist because he went off with the Porsche last week-end at the Finale de la Coupe de France in Châteauroux(car not repaired/prepared in time) :(

After three stages(among them two long ones)only 8s between leader Ludovic Gal(BSA whale)and 2001 winner Jean-François Mourgues(206 wrc) :bounce:

Excellent performance by Olivier Marty in his Megane Kit-car, 3rd overall and leading the Trophée BFGoodrich :up:
Official Peugeot-Sport driver Guillaume Canivenq(207 S2000)is 4th not far from podium place ;)

Arnaud Augoyard(306 Maxi)is 5th overall, 2nd of the Trophée BFgoodrich hasn't got really pressure as he can be the trophée's season winner if he finishes ahead of Patrick Rouillard(Megane Maxi)who has currently suspensions problems...

Championship leader Eric Brunson(Subaru Impreza wrc)is 6th, and Dany Snobeck(Bozian whale)is only 9th...

The 3 first stages will have to be rerun from 6.00pm this afternoon...

End of leg1(after 6 stages)...

Guillaume Canivenq decided to attack during the 2nd loop of stages(by night)and it paid of !!! He's 2nd overall behind Gal and ahead of Mourgues :up:

Marty lost podium, but is still well leading the trophée BFGoodrich in front of Augoyard and Vigion ;)

Retirement for Cédric Robert, engine broken of his Clio R3 whereas he was 10th overall... :(

[Tom206wrc]

So first victory in the championship for Ludovic Gal, in front of Jean-François Mourgues(who didn't compete since 2001 when he won this event)and Olivier Marty(Trophée BFGoodrich winner on this event)...

7 points separate championship leader Phillipe Brunson and Dany Snobeck who had a huge fight on this rally(8s separate them in the end)with one event left to go(rallye du Var)...

Arnaud Augoyard finishes 3rd in the trophée BFGoodrich(with a damaged gearbox that has been repaired very quickly by his mechanics in the last assistance service)but wins the overall 2008 trophée !!! Congratulations for his first participation on it and especially the first one in a 306 Maxi(he drove Renault Clio S1600 before this year) :up:



Edit
I forgot: off road and retirement(due to puncture it seems) for Guillaume Canivenq on the first stage of 2nd leg whereas he was 2nd overall and managed the first best times for an S2000 in french tarmac championship... ;(

[Mirek]

Thanks for the information.

[Wim_Impreza]

It is not Philippe Brunson who leads the championship, but Eric Brunson. ;)
