2 curiosities:

*fiesta was bought personally by brunson?he sold his impreza or he was renting from first?
*what is D2 championship?

thanks

Yes he bought the Fiesta, but First is the team who run it for him. They did it in France for Marc Barbé too, and Snobeck in the past.
Now the car can be rent, with First assistance.

D2 championship will be a new championship next year. It will be run in the higher coefficient french cup events, and probably there will be more events in the Northern part of France (maybe Dieppe, Routes du Nord, Epernay, Bretagne, ...). For the moment we don't know the calendar.
A such championship existed some years ago, but finished by dying. But today, amator drivers in Northern part of the country are too far from the center of the national championship (most of the races are in the south-eastern part of France, except Touquet - Limousin isn't in south eastern part, but close to).
And national events with coeff 5 for french cup pushed the FFSA. They want to be in national championship, but FFSA didn't too turn over in races. So FFSA will create a championship for them. (FFSA is french national federation)

5th July 2014, 23:22

It's really a strange year for tarmac champ, as no one really wants to be champion.

It wasn't Maurin's goal, but as he is leading ... he will take the point, and I think he will be for a second year champion.
Nantet is there only because he was banned of French cup ...
Salanon don't do a full year.
Cuoq don't care about tarmac.
Brunson stopped rally.
Beaubelique's goal is amator championship.

So ok, there is still Pierre Roché ...

But as each time, entry list is really beautiful.
For Rouergue, still really good, with Gilbert and da Cunha for a DS3 victory. Lets count on Roché's Mini to be there in the top of the race, and let's see how good will be Marty with a Focus WRC (finished 4th in Lyon with a Mini WRC).
What can do Maurin with R5 ? For sure a podium, Rouergue is a difficult race, so if he finishes ...
Great S2000 field too, with fast south of France drive Franck Lions, Feghali from Lebanon, Ragues from ELMS, ...

6th July 2014, 11:54

It's quite a strange regulation, done last year. A driver can't compete in the final of the french cup if he finished in the top three of the last french championship.
To be honest, this regulation was done only to prevent Nantet to take part to it ...

dupanton

vino_93

7th July 2014, 07:40

Yes right, he is not allowed to take part to the final.

It's a strange rule, because drivers in france championship are all amator drivers, and they can do what they want. And why Top 3, not top 5, top 10, ... ?
This rule was done only after that Nantet announced he would leave french championship and come back to the cup with his GT10 Porsche ...

You can banned cars, as it's done (WRC, GT+ and for next year RRC can't take point), but why drivers ? There's no professionnal drivers, so let's them do what they want.

Nobody following Rallye Aveyron Rouergue here?

After 6 stages Olivier Marty is leading, with a Focus WRC. 50s behind him there's Da Cunha, with DS3 WRC. Quentin Gilbert with Pereira's DS3 WRC already 1min11s behind, while Maurin lost "only" 1min24s to the leader. Quite disappointing performance from Quentin Gilbert so far... In Rallye le Touquet he did much better with a C4 WRC.

Gilbert career could end this year if he don't change his way of doing rally. Still the immature boy he was in France. In a national level, that can work ... in a worldwide level, you're quickly out of the game.
Not fast, not reliable ... other young frenchmen are now pushing to have an international chance.

Really impressed by Marty. He wasn't good last year in Opel Cup, but it seems he refinds a good drive with WRC this year (good drive with Mini in Mont Blanc, really great there !).
Still a good drive by Feghali, 5th !

Rouillard won amator trophy, against Nantet. Great drive ! As for Raynal and his old Escort :)

Other impressive is Rossel, new Rallye Jeune, and leading DS3 R1 at one stage from the end.

Final result :
1 Marty (Focus WRC)
2 da Cunha (DS3 WRC) 1'21
3 Gilbert (DS3 WRC) 1'30
4 Maurin (Fiesta R5) 5'00 (had a problem during the last stages)
5 Feghali (207 S2000) 5'24
6 Rouillard (Porsche 997 Cup) 6'09
7 Roché (Mini WRC) 6'24
8 Nantet (Porsche 997 Cup) 6'37
9 Raynal (Escort RS Cosworth) 7'00
10 Bonnefis (Porsche 996 GT3) 8'24

Honestly I don't know why they love so much this event. Roads aren't particularly nice compare to other events in Northern France, as Route du Nord, Touquet, ... Only good thing for them it's that there's an highway from Calais to Béthune, so it's quite fast to go.

Apparently the safety measures are crazy there, following a tragic accident several years ago. Anyway not the best event in France. I prefer seeing the crazy 208-cup over these gentleman-driven WRCs (only one quick driver out of 10 WRcars)... :)

vino_93

16th September 2014, 13:02

Yes right, there was a fatal crash there a few years ago. It was the start of the repressive measures against spectators in France. Here in Béthunes it's probably the worst event. You have two spots per stage where you can go. All other are forbidden. Organizers will do all to move you (even cancelling the stage) if you are not on these spots, which were pretty bad according people (you can see the car only a few seconds). And I think the most stupid thing is that these points are limitated in term of width. I remember La Lys (event closed to Béthunes), where I could'nt go a few meters far in straight line, because it wasn't plan that people could go there.

@Tommeke : of course that's not the same level. But you don't go on a French Cup event for the same thing than you go to a French Championship one ;)

He's 25 (maybe 26 now) years old I think. I think he could be one of the "big guys" in the future. He's still young enough, and regarding the experience he has, his performance is great (see Rallye Deutschland for example, where I mentioned him already in some forum posts). On both tarmac and gravel he's a great driver, very clean style as well (big contrast to Lefebvre or Martin who are more brutal, especially on gravel).

The best known entrant is Alain Ambrosino. A frenchman living in Ivory Cost, now president of Ivoirian Federation, organizer of Bandama, ... and former officiel driver for Peugeot (Rally and Raid) and Nissan (Rally). He will run with a Lancer Evo VIII.
Then we have three other crews in Lancer : Gary Chaynes (CIV), who is the leader of African Champ, with an Evo X, Eric Pages (CIV) in Evo IX, and Moriféré Soumaoro, CIV champion 2012, with an Evo X.

Then 5 guy rented Saxo T4 : Jacquelin (CIV), Ligonnet, second in CIV 2013, Malherbe (CIV), Molinié (CIV) and Cantanhede, best driver from Burundi. The last entry is Andry Rakotomalala from Madagascar, who already did two events on gravel in France, with a 106 S16.

Other notable entries : Robin Auriol, son of Didier Auriol, with an Evo IV.
Frantz Comoli, good driver on gravel in 208 Cup, will upgrade to a DS3 R5.
The come back of Nicolas Romiguière, with a Clio R3. Former official Renault driver, I think he will run the new Clio RS R3T.
Of course, Lionel Baud (Fiesta WRC), Jean-Marie Cuoq (C4 WRC), Cyrille Feraud (Lancer WRC 05), Cédric Hennion (DS3 WRC), Jérôme Jacquot (207 S2000), Matthieu Margaillan (Fabia S2000), ...

Well for next year some change. Jean-Luc Roché, father of Pierre, will drive the Mini WRC in France D2 championship. Pierre is link to buy a Fiesta WRC for the French Tarmac.

No more coefficient in French Tarmac, that's a good news :)

And France D2 will have 15 rounds, I don't know how it will work. Can't see any reason to have so many events ... and they are in all part of the country, so a lot of travel for amator drivers. But let's see how it will be ... for the moment we don't know a lot of thing on it. Maybe drive will have to take part to a definite number of events in North of the country, and same in South. Could attract the main guys to travel.

IF i understand right form loeb's fb (by using translator since he writes in his language)he didn't make the right tyre choice.

Nous aurions pu optimiser notre choix de pneus pour cette matinée, du coup les sensations ont été un peu moyennes. On reste néanmoins en tête et c'est le principal. La météo est un peu incertaine pour cet aprem, mais quoi qu'il arrive il faudra attaquer!

dimviii

29th November 2014, 13:20

we have to think that Loeb uses wrc type tyre,and Maurin uses pirelli national tyre at rainy tarmac.

nafpaktos

"We could optimise our tyre-choise for this morning, but the feeling wasn't so good. Nevertheless we're still in the lead and that's the most important. The meteo is a bit uncertain for this afternoon, but whatever happens, we need to attack!" - Translated it. ;)

Like Dimviii said, Loeb is driving WRC-tyres from Michelin. Keep in mind they are the "single thread" tyres, so no real slicks and no real rain tyres. The soft tyres are VERY soft (it needs to rain or be really cold/damp before you can use them), but still they don't drain the water like a proper rain tyre would. The difference is probably huge in conditions like they have now...

This video is a good example of what the drivers are facing on the stages.

i didnt wrote that to explain what Loeb said.
wrc tyre is much slower than the ''national'' tyres even at same type.From Pirelli i know something 0,2-0,5 per km according to their tests.
The other reason is what Tom said about the wrc tyres for rain(they are not enough cut,so they cant cope with much water like at this rally.

15th January 2015, 09:38

What's the reason behind the cancellation of the event? I was hesitating to go there, since Rallye le Touquet is in the same weekend as the Rally of Spa (Belgian championship). Mont-Blanc is an event I would love to do but it collides with Omloop van Vlaanderen (BRC) like almost every year. So probably no French tarmac event for me this year..

vino_93

15th January 2015, 14:24

Financial troubles I suppose, and not a lot of entries without the trophies (only Opel announced), and moreover rally is dying in this region, with a lot of small events which disappear some years ago.

If you look at last year, there was only 63 entries, and only 5 entries without a championship / trophy. It was better in 2013, but only because there was more trophies ... And with Antibes back 3 weeks after Limousin, some drivers decide to go only there and not to Limousin. At least when you look the entries, both events suffer from this situation ... but it's Limousin which is in the bad "région".

Edit : I forgot to add that some years ago, Limousin was candidate to WRC. Some say that the region and organizers could focus on it and no more on FTRC which doesn't work really well there. But this is only rumor.

It seems in some days we will have the official confirmation of it, with the reasons. I'll inform you when it will be announced.

So, this week end was the first big in France with La Côte Fleurie and Les Routes du Nord.

In Normandy (Côte Fleurie), Brunson invited Cuoq and Roché to warm up for tarmac season. Moreover there was other good drivers, as Pruvot (Impreza S8), Ragues (DS3 R5), Pustelnik (208 T16) and of course Cédric Robert (Lancer Evo VII). Weather was really bad, with rain, a bit of snow, lot of winds ... so it was a difficult warm-up for both Roché and Brunson with their Fiesta WRC. Cuoq easily win.
http://www.ewrc.cz/images/2015/photos/rallye_national_de_la_cte_fleurie_2015/ade_img_1685.jpg

Clear drive for Ragues too, who finished 2nd. 3rd is Brunson, after a small mistake.

4 Stéphane Pustelnik (208 T16) 5'14
5 Cédric Robert (Lancer VII) 5'32
6 Pierre Roché (Fiesta WRC) 6'23
...

Difficult was Les Routes du Nord too ... first, the level wasn't really good. In fact, the worst since a lot of year. Bayard with his Corolla WRC was the favourite. His main opponent was Depoortere with the S12, but he has problem with the car, and retire a lot of time ... Then we can talk about Deraedt (Celica ST205), Saint Requier (207 S2000) but against WRC, it's hard to win there. Only three outsiders : welsh Ling (Lancer X R4), and belgians Pyck (Lancer IX) and Verstaen (Astra). Both were good, but only Verstaen finished (6th, 1st F2/14).
Bayard had a lot of troubles with its Corolla this week end, but he achieve another win (9 on 10 rallies last year, with one in Belgium). He is the most successful driver in french cup from nowadays.
Deraedt finished at a good 2nd place, and can be clearly consider as a top contender for the final of the french cup, whereas Saint Requier achieved a 3rd place, which is good for his first race with the 207 S2000 (and first race with a 4WD). He owns one of the last 207 S2000 chassis (ex Vanneste).

Nice report!these two rallies are for two different cups?

vino_93

23rd February 2015, 09:58

No, both of them are for French Cup.
French Cup is a global competition. Each event in France (except gravel) count for it, even french tarmac championship round. Only WRC, RRC and GT+ are banned from this competition (that mean they can't take point, but they can start, except the smallest events called "régional").
You take point as in french championship, that mean 10 - 8 - 6 - 5 ... for the overall classification, and same for your class. So the winner of a rally take 20 points. Then each race has a coefficient, depending on its length or its status. Both of them where coeff 4, so the highest outside of french D2 champ, so f.e. Dereadt and Ragues took 80 pts in total (as Bayard is transparent).
The points you take will help you to qualify for the final. There's a classification per comity, and you take points where you have your licence (it's more or less the same comities as our "régions", so for example Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur, even if some are merged, like both Normandy together or Nord-Pas-de-Calais - Picardie).
Each comity has a number of invited drivers, depending on the level of the driver, the number of guys, a.s.o ...
Moreover to qualify, you have to take part to a definite number of rally in your comity (otherwise it would be too easy to come in a small comity to qualify, but Ile de France is this kind of thing, as they don't organize a rally... so each year some drivers who absolutely want to qualify for the final take their license there).

This year the final will be in Samer (close to Boulogne sur Mer, so close to UK and Belgium, if some fans want to travel to see it). Last year it was La Rochelle, and for 2016 there was strong indications for Corsica, but that was before the come-back of Giru di Corsica in WRC.

Moreover to qualify, you have to take part to a definite number of rally in your comity (otherwise it would be too easy to come in a small comity to qualify, but Ile de France is this kind of thing, as they don't organize a rally... so each year some drivers who absolutely want to qualify for the final take their license there).

As you say Ile de France dont organize rally,so how is possible someone to get qualified without participate to rallies.i suppose i dont understand something.

vino_93

26th February 2015, 09:55

1/ I mean, each comity has a number of crews to send to the final. So for example, the organizing comity (Nord-Pas de Calais) has 16 crews invited. Poitou Charentes has 8 drivers qualified (due to the number of classified drivers in the comity last year) + a bonus of 3, because the winner of 2014 was from there, a.s.o...
So you have to be, you have a license from the Nord, in the Top 16 of the comity to take part to the final (in a situation where everyone wants to go to the final, of course you can refuse to go, and someone else will have your place).

2/ you can take point on all french rallies, but you are classified only in your comity. But to be eligible for the finale, you have to take part to a definite number of events in your comity (depending on the number of rallies there).
But, in Ile de France there's no rally. So guys take point where they want, and doesn't need to go there to race at least one.
So each guys take the license in Ile de France, because it is easier for them to qualify, as Ile de France doesn't have a lot of local drivers. Most of the time, these drivers are from the comity which organize the finale, because everyone wants to be part of it there.

I just notice there has been a change in the point system. Now it's 5-4-3-2-1 for overall, and 15-12-9-7-5 for class. So still 20 points for the winner of the rally, but less for overall classification.

So, Loeb in Epernay is confirmed. He will be codrived by Sandra Rebout, the sister of his wife. Séverine Loeb will codrive Dominique Rebout, husband of Sandra Rebout.
If you want to fight with Loeb, you can still enter the event :) (180 entries accepted). The rally is in the vineyards in Champagne, quite a nice event. It's the first round of the French 2nd Division champ.

This week end, only one event in France : the Rallye Régional de Vaison la Romaine.
Small win for Frédérik Casciani, with Mégane Maxi Kit Car :

Not a good race for the two 207 S2000, driven by Jean-Luc Morel and Franck Lions. Morel (1) had some mechanical troubles at the beginning of the race, and finished only 14th, whereas Lions (2) was leading before retiring.

So, this week end was a big one in France. It races more or less everywhere :)
Rallye National de Haute Provence (as its name says, it's in Provence) :
Easy win for Eric Fanguiaire, who rents for this race a Fiesta WRC in Italy. He doesn't have an serious opponent, and win by 2' on the Clio R3 of Belhomme (first race with this car). Third is Ciaramito with a Clio S1600. I have to notice the presence of Henry Massaad, lebanon driver, with a Clio RS R3T.

Rallye National de la Vienne (center of France) :
Quite a better field of car. Frédéric Martin rented an old Impreza WRC to FJ, Jean-Charles Beaubelique did a warm-up for Le Touquet, and Jérôme Galpin did his local event (he was a good driver in the beginning of the 00') with a FJ car (FJ is his family team). Cosson, good national driver with Porsche (ex hillclimb master), was here too.
Finally, and logically, Beaubelique won, by a few seconds on Cosson and Galpin. The other are far away.

Rallye Régional Baldomérien : in Rhône Alpes, close to Saint-Etienne.
As always in Rhône Alpes, good field of car. Salanon started, as said Tom, 2 207 S2000 (Monnet and Philippot). In total, 140 cars started.
Salanon of course won, but Monnet did a great job and lost only 30". Pascal Berard, last winner of Clio Cup, finished 3rd.

Rallye Régional Cathare : In Narbonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, north of Catalunya.
One S2000, for a Guadeloupe driver, Philippe Ninou. But he didn't played an important role. It was a 2WD fight, with the victory for the BMW 318 of Riso, beating the good Sébastien Virazel (Clio R3) and the S1600 of Clemençon. Rémi Jouines did a warn-up for Opel Cup, but it didn't work really well ...

Rallye Régional du Pays Ajaccien : here we are in Corsica, close to Ajaccio.
As usual, a lot of big cars rented in Italy (1 Fiesta R5 for Santoni, 3 207 S2000 for Aguzzi, Lanfranchi and Quilici, 2 208 T16 for Succi and Leandri, 1 Fiesta RRC for Micheli). It was impossible to fight with them, even for the good Guglielmi with a Clio R3, who finished 5th.
Santoni won by a big margin on Aguzzi and Leandri, a disappointing 3rd.

Rallye Régional du Pays Avallonais : here we are in Burgundy.
More than 100 entries, with 4 207 S2000 for Bouhot, Lecki, Dapoigny and Deroy. Other top contender is Reutter with a Porsche, or Daniel Fores with a 306 Maxi !
Reutter quite easilly defeated the S2000. Great drive by Nicolas Grosjean, 4th with a 106 S16.

Finally not, there has been a new rule (due to drivers protests) to allow cars until they are available for historic competition :) So BMW M3, Kit Car, Impreza 555 and all the others will run for a few years !

Talking about Fores, he was a good driver, finishing 2nd in Saxo Trophy 1999, beaten only by Loeb :) He was one of these guys, quite old, who like to do some trophies to face the young guys.
In 2003 he acquired the 306 Maxi, and had many victories in french cup. But now, the 306 is old, and difficult to maintain in good state. He tried to sell it, but don't find everyone who wants to buy it.
I really like the colour of his car :

Not a good beginning ... I'm quite curious to see what he can achieve with T16. He was a promising driver, but then arrived Camilli and Rossel, who outshined him. I think he can do good things in ERC. Maybe not as Abbring last year, but I hope better than Ancian.

Well, He demonstrated in the 208 Rally Cup a strong consistency and regularity. So, it may be possible to see him doing TOP-5 in ERC easily. Will see, but again another young gun growing up in France! To be honest the best national series of Europe.

For sure he will be able to be in top 5, otherwise it would be really disappointing.

So first day of race in Le Touquet.
First : Brunson is off. Anew, after Côte Fleurie ... seems not at ease.
So Cuoq is logically leading.
Quite surprise to see Roché 2nd, at only 30". I didn't expect him so close. It seems he matches very well with the Fiesta. Hope to seem him doing the whole season.
Salanon 3rd ... he is for sure a fast driver, but he doesn't like Le Touquet. I thought he would be largely 2nd, but no. Let's see tomorrow ...

In R5, Amourette is amazing. He is leading in front of Martin. Amourette was a top guy in Saxo Trophy just after Loeb passed. He had an official drive in S1600 championship, but whereas Loeb turned pro, he turned amator and never had more chance. Probably if his career happened now, he would have had a chance in JWRC. But that was another time.
He still remains faithful to Citroën, and was a top guy with a C2 S1600, and then with R3. Le Touquet is one of his favourite race (he won it in 2002), but for his first with a 4WD, against Peugeot official car, that's really good.
Martel is a good 6th. He confirms his progression. Tanghe with the old Celica is 7th :)

Michel with Porsche (of Nantet's team) is leading 2WD, with a small margin on Guigou (Clio IV R3).
As planned, Rossel is easily leading CRT.
Great fight between Bernardi and Fostier in Adam Cup, with Rémi Jouines third. Nothing surprising there too.
In CRTJ (which is French Junior Champ too), which is starting his second year there, is easily leading. Nothing exciting on the podium, as they are all repeating. But Anthony Fotia, 4th, is doing his 2nd rally only. His father was a good driver in the south part of France in the 90's.

French cup reports :

Rallye National du Pays du Gier (near to Saint Etienne, Rhône Alpes)
Former event of swiss champ. This year it was only french cup, as the swiss were in Italy. So of course, the field of cars was not as good as the previous year. But there was still a great level. 2 S2000 : one Skoda for Despinasse (first time with this car coming from Austria) and a 207 for Ginhoux. So top crews with smaller cars : Poudrel with an old M3, Peyrache and Gellier with 318 Compact, Badel with a Clio Williams, Berard and Prevalet in R3, and so on ...
Despinasse easily won, and that's not a surprise, as he is a good driver. Badel finished 2nd ... you will discover him in french championship later. A really fast guy. Good third place for Prevalet, whereas Berard is only 6th... Latour achieve a great Top 5, not easy to reach.
1 Kevin Despinasse (Fabia S2000)
2 Thomas Badel (Clio Williams F2000) 1'02
3 Mickaël Prevalet (DS3 R3) 1'46
4 Bertrand Latour (Mégane RS) 2'02
5 Gilles Cellier (318 Compact F2000) 2'37

Some other good drive by Michaud Maillet, 7th wil Clio Ragnotti, or Barbier, 8th with a 106 F2/13.

Rallye National du Vallon de Marcillac (a bit in the middle of nowhere, close to Rodez, where is Rallye du Rouergue)
The famous french chef Cyril Lignac oppened the race with a 207 S2000. Another was from Cyril Dumoulin, a guy rarely running the last years.
The top crews were Jean-Michel da Cunha, with an Evo VII, Michaël Lobry (Evo X R4), or Julien Marty (Evo IX R4). da Cunha retired, which let Lobry at ease to win, against Marty, and Chivaydel.

i was reading to motorsport monday that rally touquet is the only round of the championsip that takes place on the north of the country,the other events are on the central-south or south.why this happens?

Yes it's true.
To be honest ... I don't know. There's plenty of nice places in the north / east / north-west, so if FFSA wants, it could ...
There was Rallye Alsace-Vosges before, but it ended with Rallye de France - Alsace.

The rally in the south were in french championship for years. They appear to be some classic event, like Cévennes, Mont Blanc, Antibes, Var, ... so the FFSA don't want to eject one to put another in the place, even if events like La Rochelle (west), Epernay or Vosgien (East) could probably join the french championship if there was a spot.
Moreover, most of the amator crews entering the champ come from South-East of France. What is logic, as all the races are there ... But it's used as an argument to keep all the events in the south. And that's why Macon (close to Lyon, south of Burgundy) had a spot some years ago, whereas La Rochelle was its main opponent (and a really nice place).
Epernay shows that there's a lot of guy from north / east who wants to do national events. But as it's a long way to come to the D1 events ... they will focus on D2. Most of the crews with WRC/S2000 who will do D2 (and play for the title) will only race the northern part of France events (Epernay, Ternois, Dieppe, Bretagne, La Rochelle, ... ), with maybe one spot in the south, as Montagne Noire or Grasse.

And this year, what was the westest event (Limousin) is cancel ... and it's Corsica which takes the spot...

French cup :
Rallye National du Chablisien : new rally, run in Burgundy, close to Auxerre, and not so far from Langres (which host a gravel round)
The field was low, with only 48 cars starting. Really rare in France to have so less cars. But there was some good drivers : Fores with the 306 Maxi, Guillerot and Fauguet with 207 S2000. Guillerot was unbeatable. After the retirements of Fauguet and Fores, there were spots on the podium for Bardou and Buisson, who did a great race with his small Clio RS.

http://forum-rallye.com/uploads/monthly_03_2015/post-550-0-61632000-1427051963.jpg

2 Maxence Bardou (DS3 R3) 1’04
3 Fabrice Buisson (Clio RS) 1’19
4 Jacky Leroy (Lancer IX) 1’42
5 Emmanuel Melocco (207 R3) 2’51
…

Rallye Régional de Printemps : here we are in Lorraine, really close to Nancy.
The field was even smaller than Chablisien … hard time in East. Only 34 crews … This event is in trouble, it’s only the second time it is run since 2010.
2 good crews : Paul Reutter with a Porsche, and Dominique Rebout with 207 S2000. We can talk about Eric Cunin (French, not the Belgian) and Alcaraz. But none of them can fight with the first two, who easily dominated the race. At the end, it’s Reutter who won :

5 Jérémy Lanthermann (Saxo VTS) 1’24
…

Rallye Régional des Vignes de Régnié : we go south, between Mâcon and Villefranche sur Saône, in Rhône Alpes but close to the south of Burgundy.
A decent field of cars, 141 starters! Three top crews: Cédric Robert, with a 207 S2000, Rémi Risaletto with and Escort RS Cosworth, and Yves Pezzutti, with a 306 Maxi.
Logic is respected, with these 3 in the first three places.

5 Loïc Bisson (Clio S1600) 1’18
…

Rallye Régional des Vins du Gard : just stick to Lédenon, where there’s a track, and between Nîmes and Avignon.
There was a good field of cars, 118 entries. The top crew was Nicolas Liron, running an ex-MRF Tyres Fabia S2000. There was a DS3 R5 for a Laurent Brunel, and I think it was the first DS3 R5 running a French cup event. Other top crews were Jean-Yves Antherieu with an old R3, Raphaël Astier with an Z3, or Vivens, top guy in F2000. No surprise with the success of Liron, in front of Vivens. In the top 5 we can notice a 307 F2000, really rare car.

…

Rallye Régional ASAB : first round of La Reunion championship, but round of french cup too, as all rallies there.
As the rally is regional, the champion, Stéphane Sam-Caw-Fèvre, couldn’t enter with his 206 WRC. So he ran with a Xsara F2000. So it was more or less impossible for him to win against the Lancer Evo X of Bruni or Picard, the Clio R3 of Ramsany, Law Long, the DS3 R3 of Barret, the 306 Maxi of Unia … there was a Fabia S2000, whole new chassis, for Gangate, but he is not so good driver, and the car ended in a deep …
The french-italian Bruni took the win. Ahead him, there was a big battle for podium.

So Loeb (who else) won in Epernay. Belgian Eric Cunin finished second with his Fabia WRC, after a nice fight with Quentin Giordano (DS3 R5).

1. Loeb
2. Cunin +4'46"6
3. Giordano +4'54"9
4. Viana (DS3 WRC) +5'24"9
5. Rebout (207 S2000) +5'27"4
6. Galpin (207 S2000) +6'20"3
7. Barbara (Mini WRC) +7'50"3
8. Blanc-Garin (Evo 9) +8'43"5

10. Vigion (Clio R3T) +9'09"3
11. Gilbert (DS3 R3T) +9'12"5

Nice pic of Gilbert pushing it to the limit. He lost a lot of time on friday, today he was much quicker than Vigion.

Also oon photos and videos you can see something that makes this rally quite strange and interesting. The roads are mostly between the wineyards, and they are shaped like gutters to drain the water, so the edges of the road are always higher.

Giordano having a little off, and he turns it into an advantage. In WRC this would be a time penalty for sure.

It's incredible when it's raining. It's really slippery.
The main roads used are concrete, so the surface is quite bad too.

But as you can see on this video at some moments, water is going in the middle of the road, but causes no problem :

French cup week end :
Rallye National Epernay – Vins de Champagne : opening round of the D2 championship. It’s in Champagne, south of Reims.
For this opening round, D2 championship worked quite well, with a lot of gentlemen drivers from North / East of France + some of the south (as Fabre). Some good young guys too, like Reydellet. Four top guns starting : Loeb, of course. Giordano (WRC2), Gilbert (WRC3) and Vigion (Clio Cup). Vigion will be the only one we will see again here, because Clio Cup is based on D2 championship. In total, there was 9 WRC, 9 S2000 and 1 R5 (which will be the only cars able to fight for the title). A good field, even if it was of course gentlemen for most of them. But that’s the goal of a second division championship …
So for the race, not a lot of suspense. Loeb easily won. But there was a quite interesting fight for the podium spot. The Belgian Cunin won this battle, in front of Giordano and Viana. Viana is well known in the central Europe, where he drove a lot. Here, he is more known to have been a correct cup driver in the end of 90’, beginning of 00’. Dominique Rebout, 5th, is the fastest S2000 driver, beating Galpin, who was a top gun in the early 00’. Teddy Blanc-Garin, 8th, is the winning N4 driver. 10th and winner in 2WD is Vigion. He reached an easy win in Clio Cup Trophy, and took advantage of Gilbert mistakes.

There was of field of 71 cars, with two clear leaders : Romain Martel and Sébastien Alemany, with 207 S2000. But both of them had to retire whereas they were fighting for victory. So they let the outsiders taking the victory. First of them was Arnaud Gautier, former French cup winner, but now running with Clio R3. He beat David Deslandes Clio S1600, and Michel Dutot Lancer Evo VIII.

French cup week end
Rallye Régional des Monts du Lyonnais : in the hills near to Lyon.
As usual, a very good field of cars (125). The top crews were Michel Giraldo (207 S2000), Joël Arnaud (Fiesta R5), Yves Pezzutti (306 Maxi) and Rémy Risaletto (Escort Cosworth). Two swiss drivers came with their DS3 R3 (Scheidegger and Bron).

No surprise, with the victory of Giraldo. All the top crews are in the Top 5. Great race by Bonnefond, with a surprising 206 CC, achieving a podium.

Rallye Régional du Pays de Caux : here we are in Normandy, between Rouen and Le Havre, close to the Seine.

A good field of cars too, with 115 starters. Top 4WD crews are Pruvot and Christiann, with Celica GT-Four, but too Pascal Deroy (207 S2000) and Olivier Boinet (306 Maxi), and a lot of Evo : Dutot (IX), Bourgeois and Vanson (VIII), and the Subaru of Gonnet. Some 2WD crews are really good, as Leclerc (Clio II) or Brion (Clio III).

It finally ended with a quite large (for a regional) victory of Pruvot.

PS: note the Hyundaï was driven by Thierry Neuville(but it was a serie model not a WRC) ;)

This week end in French Cup …

Rallye National de Grasse (D2) : it's the southest event of the series, using some stages of the Monte Carlo, as the Turini. Some guys came from the North or West, as Barbara and Faucher. But none of them score.
The victory came to Dominique de Meyer, as usual I would say, as it's his 11th victory there !

Rallye Régional du Pays d'Olliergues : here we are in Auvergne, east of Clermont-Ferrand. Not so many top cars, except a Punto S2000, so it let the place for others.
It's the good Pascal Bérard, with a Clio R3, who won, by a few margin on two F2000 cars.

Rallye Régional Autocourse : here we are close to Tours, and closer to Amboise, where there's a famous castle among the Loire. Two top crews : Fauguet (207 S2000) and Cosson (Porsche).

Rallye Régional de Vervins : here we are in Picardy. This event is a bit in the middle of nowhere. We are close to the Ardennes, the Nord or Belgium (Chimay).
There was no belgian, but some frenchs running in Belgium as Tournay and Bricout. Other top crew was Christiann. It was a close fight, but at the end Tournay won against Christiann.

Rallye Régional de Faverges : here we are in the Alps, close to Albertville. As usual there, there was a lot of S2000 (3) + 1 R5. Chavanne and Giraldo were the top crews, and they didn't fail to fight for the success. Finally, it was a victory for Chavanne.

Rallye National de l'Anguison : we are in the heart of Burgundy, in the middle of nowhere, in the "Morvan".
The level wasn't high … Daniel Fores, with his 306 Maxi, dominated the race, in front of Jérémy Dapoigny's 207 S2000.

Rallye Régional de Neufchâtel en Bray : we are in Normandy. The city is between Rouen and Amiens, more or less. It's known for his cheese, but the rally is quite nice too for a régional. Roads are really beautiful there. Pustelnik with a 208 T16 won, but Pruvot (Celica), and Roussel (Porsche) did a good race too.

Rallye National de la Fougère : to finish our Tour de France, we were in Aquitaine, north of Bordeaux. Their was a nice field of top cars, with various WRC (Mini for Jean-luc Roché, Impreza for Martin, …), and S2000 for Jérôme Galpin and Luc Taveneau. But not so many cars, around 60 only. Galpin won logically, as he is a very good driver, with national level. The others were far away, and Purrey finished 2nd with his Lancer Gr. N.

So, it ended by a victory of Cuoq, in front of Trojani and Marty. Both of them did a good end of rally, fighting for second position ... and came back close to Cuoq. It's a 1-2 for Cuoq team.
But the man of the rally is for sure Yoann Bonato. He did an extraordinary run for his first time with a R5. He was in front of Robert, before Cédrid had to retire. He will do other rounds, and we can maybe expect something great in Rouergue, a round he knows very well ... it seems his sponsors wants him to WRC for the Tour de Corse. Let's see ! I would have prefer him to see him doing Valais and fight for overall position, but that's not my choice !

Last week end of French Cup :
Rallye National Côte des Nacres : we are in Corsica, in Solenzara, North of Porto Vecchio.
The field of cars was quite low, but as usual there was some big cars : 3 R5 (Fiesta for Balesi and Sauli, 208 for Marchi) and two WRC (de Meyer with a 206; Micheli with a Focus). Pierre-François Balesi, who rarely run these years, took the victory, in front of the R3 of Guglielmi. All the other top cars retired, except Micheli, who ended 8th, as slow as usual.

Rallye National du Vallespir : we are to the spanish border, in Catalunya. The main cities is Figueres in Spain and Perpignan in France, but the race center is far from them, in the end of the Pyrénnées.
Some spanish came, as Climent Domingo with a Mégane Maxi. But he couldn't prevent Christian Roig to win the race, with a group A Lancer in front of Jérémie Serieys Clio R3. Serieys is a former french junior champion, and Renault official driver. Good driver by Genesca with a Impreza R4, third.

Last week end in french cup :

Rallye National de la Lys : here we are in the Nord, the comity who will run the finale.
So as it's the finale, there's a lot of S2000 : 4 to be precise (Saint Requier, Deloy, Lefrançois, and Hapka with a 207) where Meyer had a DS3 R5. But they couldn't play for the win, because there was 5 WRC : Laurent Bayard, with his own Corolla; three Brits : Hendy and Fenwick with Focus WRC, and Coffey with a Fiesta. And the last was Christiann, renting to First Motorsport a Impreza S14 WRC ! He could do more races with it.
As always there, Bayard had an easy win. For the crews taking points for the finale, it's Deraedt with his Celica GT-Four who won, beating Saint-Requier.

Rallye National de l'Escarène : north of Antibes
As it is north of Antibes, using the same stages, there was a lot of crews who came to prepare the 208 Cup round. We can talk here about the outsiders (Lopez, Suarez, Toedtli, Wagemans). But surprisingly, it's the local Puppo who was the fastest of all the 208 crews ! There was too a lot of italian. Only one was fast : Fabio Andolfi. And he won, by a small second on Moni.

http://www.ffsa.org/res_rallye.php?id=2978&catCourse=ral Link for live results of Antibes. Very nice list with 7 WRC cars, including Roger Feghali (Focus WRC). In R5 there is Léandri (208), Casier (Fiesta), Hirschi (208) and Escharavil (Fiesta), and as always there are plenty of 207 S2000s too. This is also the second round of the Peugeot 208 Rally Cup.

After first three stages we saw three besttiles for Feghali, who allready has build a lead of 47,9 sec to Trojani. Then we have Cuoq (+56.0), Rousset (+56.0) and Roche (+1.03.5). So three C4WRC chasing Focus of Feghali.
