Col de Braus I think :)

Eric Brunson stops his season. The Fiesta is to sell, and can be rent (until his sell) with First Motorsport.
We don't know if he'll be back, it's maybe the end of his carrier. I hope he will start in D2 championship next year...

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)
