Very curious to follow Germain Bonnefis at the wheels of the official 207 S2000 for the first time(his "present" to have won the 2011 Volant 207) :)

Total destroyed roads by the recent weather(lots of stones, tree roots, etc in the middle), many drivers retired before start, judging dangerous the stages...looks like it could be cancelled now :eek:
Two drivers were battling ahead on the first two stages: Germain Bonnefis and Noël Tron... ;)
Finally second loop of stages of leg one(rallye terre ouest Provence) is continuing...
Germain Bonnefis won the rallye Terre Ouest Provence with a margin of...more than 5 minutes( :s )ahead of Alain Deveza and Paul Chieusse...
Great performance in 2WD of Jérôme Jacquot who takes 6th position overall in his DS3 R3 :up:
Best Belgian was Geert Beauprez(Subaru Impreza WRC)4th overall...
Interesting times by Swiss driver Federico della Casa in his DS3 too(a few times better than Jacquot for example)
All in all we can't say it was a great rally in term of entries and competition(to follow behind screen of our computer I mean) :mark:
Can't wait for the Touquet in two weeks now, certainly far more exciting competitions :rolleyes:
I can hardly call it great. It must have been incredible car braker.
21 of 97 finished. Average speed of the winner of the rally is 52,5 km/h !!! Difference between first two on 87 km of stages is 5 minutes. OMG...
Freddy Loix chose Miss Lara Vanneste for codriver and Cédric Chérain chose Bruno Brissard ;)
Good for Lara after whe was dumped by Abbring/VW.
BIG Change for Belgian Claudie Tanghe in Touquet !!! Instead of his new BMW Compact he'll use Automeca Solution's Renault Megane RS GrN !!! :D
Watch out Manu Guigou ;)
In Touquet he could be a threat for Guigou. Don't know about other rallies, Guigou has more knowledge there. And Manu is like Tanghe very fast. He was very fast when Renault wanted to battle with Fiat in Belgium in Tour of Flanders.
