Will he keep his proper car the Focus WRC?

No, I heard he's going to sell the Focus and buy Punto instead. Punto is much cheaper, so he will have more money for competing.

He has money enough of his oncle, mister Vergokan, his big sponsor. The Focus is for sell indeed :(

I've read in other forum, that Manuel Adan (From Canarias) will buy a Punto S2000 for the local champ.

We can definitely forget Pascal Enjolras among the S2000 drivers !! :mark:


In "Rallyes Magazine" of this month, he says that as in France the S2000 is classified "A-7S"(A7 is the group for the Kit-cars, but with that S that creates an entirely new group - Silly to me!!) and that unlikely there will be at least 5 S2000 cars on tarmac championship(if you have less than 5 cars of the same class you can't be counted in championship - that's the rule in France :mad: )so he believes it's not worth driving such car in french championship...

He finally decided he will drive a 206 S1600 instead in the Michelin trophy... :(

It will be hard for him to get decent points with so many GrA 4WD cars and Top Maxi Kit-cars involved the championship - Michelin Trophy :s



Now I wonder who will drive the free 207 S2000 from Enjolras Sport :confused:

I don't understand. Why can't he fight for the overal championship instead of the victory in A-7S class?

Tom.. you know who will drive the Punto S2000 from Automeca?

( I think I saw in rallyMag, that Automeca have one Punto S2000)

It will be corsican driver Claude Chossat ;)


Don't ask me who he is, I have no idea(never heard about him before) :s


Rumours are also talking about Jérôme Grosset-Janin in another Fiat from Automecasport for the(almost)entire championship ;)

That's the(new) french championship rule :rolleyes:

If there's less than 5 cars in your group/class you only get half points instead of every point you deserve :mad:
