News from France

[Rally Power]

Bonato is leading Rallye Cour de France, in a close fight with Roche (Fiesta WRC). Giordano is 3rd. News and times here: https://www.rallye-sport.fr/es7-coeur-de-france-2017/

Congrats to Bonato and Boulloud; they’re the new French champs after taking their 4th win in the season. Giordano finished 2nd, ahead of local 911 driver Cosson. A broken cardan took Roche any chance to fight Bonato. Rallye Cour de France was a new event to the series and apparently a well succeeded bet from FFSA.

Sad news from France with the death of Anthony Mora, who crashed with a 208 R5 at a local rally, Rallye de Sarlat.

Sad news, it was a big frontal crash

The codriver sustained serious injuries?

The codriver sustained serious injuries?

No injuries, just in shock (which is strange imo)

In a crash like this it's often about luck, about some small mistake (like loose seatbelts) or even about things like for example some internal surgery few weeks before bad crash (such tragic accident happened here few years back). Also physical condition is very very important. A beer belly compared to strong muscles make huge difference in such crash.

Not a lot o things can be said.

Maybe you heard this, Alison Josserand and Romain Mercuri sadly died in a french regional rally this week-end. They left a child behind them, called Ezio, only 13 months. Someone decided to create a "pot commun" which consists to raise funds for this little boy. If you would like to donate some, you can still here: https://www.lepotcommun.fr/pot/u7on1nns
Already more than 36 000 euros has been raised, what a family we are! ;-)

This weekend there was the final of the "Coupe de France". For those who don't know how it works: during the year, every driver can take points in the local rallies in France. The best drivers (so with most points) per region can then participate in the "Final". Every year this is a different rally in a different region.

A lot of talented drivers who "missed" their careers where there. Arzeno won in front of Consani and Santoni. In total, there were 229 cars at the start!
