Lozère
FFSA | 1er Rallye Terre de Lozre Sud de France - 2012
...

Keith Cronin second best time of the DS3s(8th overall)on SS1 !!!! That only confirms the talent of the irish driver
Best of DS3s was Vincent Dubert(6th overall)after a good training in Finland WRC few weeks ago

Rallye terre de Lozère - day 2 - first loop of stages:

Germain Bonnefis can't be worried for the victory if mechanical parts hold until the end...
A battle is engaged for the 2nd place between Noël Tron(leader of GrN)and Paul Chieusse(in the good ol whale a certain Marcus Grönholm used to drive )separated by 3"5...

Battle in the Citroën Trophy is absolutely CRAZY, and four drivers can fight for the win again
Quentin Gilbert is now leading a certain gap of 12"...but only 2" separate Stéphane Consani, Jean-Sébastien Vigion and Keith Cronin for the gain of 2nd position

The last loop of the rally looks promising

Puncture and wheel change for Keith Cronin in SS9...game over for him in the fight for podium of Citroën trophy, 5 minutes lost
Maybe he can still end in points like in Limousin(where he also been hampered by a puncture)

First, an interesting statement from Cronin after the rallye de Lozère: he WANTS to run the two last events of the french Citroën trophy(Cardabelles and Var)
For the Cardabelles, being on gravel, he will face the same "recce problem" as in Lozère(as mentionned Tommeke)but in the Var, despite his lack of knowledge of the rally, he can get a very good result...
