Renaud Jamoul: The day started well with a good choice of tires that allowed us to climb up the rankings. Unfortunately, we were trapped by a left turn, repainted with mud. We slipped down the side, hitting a field that sent us to the barrel. Level health, I'm fine. Adrien on his side went for a check up. We will keep you informed as soon as possible and we thank you for your messages.

1-2 for polos r5,clearly superior against French champions c3
winner Ciamin at 21 years old.
Nicolas Ciamin wins his first "big" rally! Congratulations!
"That's an amazing moment for me, first "big" victory and surely the greatest rally I've done in my career."

Huge congrats to Ciamin; hopefully this win may help him to get more supports.
It’s fair to say that Bonato (tyre choice) and Lefebvre (diff) had some issues during Saturday, but the Polo superiority seems indeed clear (with the Fabia, Gilbert was never able to beat Bonato last year).
i was following the rally reading comments after every stage,and i am not sure if Lefebvre had any problem with his c3 diffs.
After first loop service,he was loosing same amount of time as with the ''problematic'' diffs
Bonato yes. he had a wrong tyre choice,but he was loosing(less) with the right tyre choice afterwards,and at Saturday night at 2nd loop.

Also don't forget that Le Touquet has a unusual type of stages for France. Also the conditions were really difficult, I've been to le Touquet many times but never seen it that bad as this year was. If we have a dry rally in Lyon next month, it will be a better comparison.
Lefebvre SS8 and 9 quotes on eWRC: "I try to deal with these issues, I have a 2 wheel-drive. I try to do my best."(…) "This is a mechanical problem, we can't do anything about it." To rallye-sport.fr: “We’ll change the differential in service.” On eWRC at the end of the rally: "Disappointing but it happens, there is up and down... We have differential issues today."
Btw, most likely Ciamin was unreachable, but Bonato lost 23s to Gilbert (from a 26s advantage) on Saturday 1st loop and only 8s on the second; on this interview https://www.rallye-sport.fr/bonato-c...atastrophique/ he explains that he wrongly choosed R11 tyres for the morning loop, while everyone else took rain tyres.
