2 Quentin Giordano (DS3 R5) 49"
3 Laurent Viana (DS3 WRC) 1'09
4 Dominique Rebout (207 S2000) 1'17

...
Gilbert is only 22th, due to some troubles.
Today there will be more km to do, we will see more clearly who will well perform.
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
9. Saint-Requier (207 S2000) +8'56"9
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.

These kind of roads i wonder what they can cause in case of rain.
Video from Gilbert, same place as the photo...

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.

Rallye National du Pays Coutançais : Here we are in Normandy, close to Coutances, more or less facing Jersey.
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.

Rallye National du Val d’Ance : run in Auvergne, not so far from Saint-Etienne (Rhône Alpes). The field was correct, not so far from 100, even if we could expected more entries from Rhône Alpes. The main driver was Mickaël Ruard, starting with a 306 Maxi. He took an easy victory, in front of Berard.

Rallye Régional de Franche Comté : Here we are close to Belfort, not so ar from Switzerland.
The field wasn’t so impressive, with only 64 starters. There was 5 swiss crews there, which is newly authorized in Régional rallies. But the top crews were French, as Philippe Grosjean starting with his Mégane Maxi, or Olivier Courtois, starting with a new Clio R3. Finally, it was a surprising winner, with the first overall victory of Patrick Cholley, with an old BMW M3.

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.

So here is the official entrylist for Lyon-Charbonnières ;)

Video shakedown from today in Lyon-Charbonnières :D
A pleasure to see Cédric Robert so spectacular in the T16 :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apJtF...ature=youtu.be
PS: note the Hyundaï was driven by Thierry Neuville(but it was a serie model not a WRC) ;)
You also can see a nice Volvo C30(I think unique in Europe of rallying)in F2000/14 class... :)
A little too many gentlemen and pensioners, but still very interesting entry list! If I count correctly, I see 10 Porsches! I keep my fingers crossed for Cedric Robert! :)Quote:

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.

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.

http://www.rallye-sport.fr/feghali-e...pour-lantibes/
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.

Rallye d'Antibes, next round of french tarmac championship, this week-end ;)
http://www.patricksoft.fr/
http://www.ffsa.org/res_rallye.php?i...&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.
Really surprised with the pace of Feghali!
Also remarkable, Moni who is 9th overal with a Peugeot 206 "Maxi" between Rouillard and Nantet with their Porsches!
Great drive by Feghali ! Come on, he can win !
