@vino_93: I'm visiting Terre de l'Auxerrois next week. French gravel championship, including 208 cup, DS3 cup, adam cup, ... But on forums it's quite strange, nothing is found about it? I know forum-rallye.com and forum-auto.com (sport section), are there any more popular French rally-forums where I could find some info?

A very poor site they have, no info at all... No entrylist.
But we (=mousti and I) are going anyway! First "Terre de France" for us!

[mousti]

Tuesday evening entries were getting closed, but no list yet.. Besides Belgian(s) and Dutch crew(s) there should be also entries from Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and the UK..

That's all the problem with gravel. As FFSA don't care about it, organizers don't have money ...

You have the two most important forums, so sorry ... In fact, forum-rallye is more or less the only now. But I'm not really sure about his quality ...
But you couldn't find maps, because they are secrets, in order to prevent illegal recce. You have to go to the centre of the rally.

For entry list ... we have to wait
But first part of it was published (A to M).
In WRC : Baud (307), Beaubelique (Focus), Carbonaro (C4), Chieusse (307), Cuoq (C4), Hennion (DS3), Lapouilles (Impreza)
S2000 : Jacquot (207)
R4 : Bruyneel (Impreza)
R3 : Colney (DS3), Daumas (DS3), Demaerschalk (DS3), Dubert (DS3), Giordano (DS3), Maurage (DS3), Meo (DS3), ...
R2 : Abbring (208), Abelli (208), Cherain (208), Comoli (208), Consani (208), Gago (208), Lefebvre (208), Margaillan (208), ...
N4 : Feraud (Lancer X), Houssin (Lancer Vi),
A8 : Deveza (Impreza GT), Fouques (Impreza 555), Gillouin (Impreza GT)
etc ...

Quite comon for the moment.

I hope you will enjoy. I'd like to go there, but it'll not be for this year, again ...

Thanks! Pitty Chicherit isn't there, I thought he wanted to go for a full championship. Nice to see some relatively recent WRC cars in French gravel rallying... Pitty FFSA doesn't invest more into the gravel championship, it has a big potential in my opinion.

[mousti]

Chicherit lost 2 sponsors just before Langres and didn't start already there and I don't think we will see him back there.. Also no Charles Martin I think..

Also leader in the CRT, Robert will start there, also Mordacq in a Sauvan Evo X. I've got a list of entries but not full because it ends after 'Ma...'. Hopefully seeded list will come out soon.
