Provisionnal entrylist Critérium des Cévennes available on http://www.criteriumdescevennes.com/

Note return of Pascal Enjolras on the 207 S2000 of his father's team(MES - Michel Enjolras Sport)
I wonder if he abandoned the Lotus Exige GT

Strange also, Pieter Tsjoen on the entrylist whereas he seems to have affirmed after Alsace he retired from french championship nice if he changes his mind though...

A rumour also talk about two Citroën DS3 R3s there(one for Stéphane Sarrazin as scheduled, the other for a...surprise??)


Edit: coincidence but the Finale de France des rallyes will also happen the same week-end as the Critérium des Cévennes(end october)
You can see the names and cars of the qualified drivers on http://www.finaledesrallyes2010.com/

stupid thing to have the Finale at the same date that the Critérium ...

[Tom206wrc]

My mistake Criterium des Cevennes is next week, Finale is a week after

[Tom206wrc]

As usual the Critérium des Cévennes will be on http://www.patricksoft.fr/ for the live results

Note SS1(11km long) will be run thursday evening...
Note also a 42km long stage to be run twice on saturday(last leg of the rally)

Funtastic victory for Bryan Bouffier at the Critérium ds Cévennes today

Cédric Robert was leading with 26" before last "monster stage"(42km long)but had a puncture in this stage and lost suddenly 1'38"(he still finished 2nd and saved big points in the championship)

Great podium for Emmanuel Gascou running in S2000 on tarmac for the first time(remember his pace at the start of Terre des Cardabelles on gravel two weeks ago)

Stéphane Sarrazin in the Citroën DS3 was hampered by a puncture yesterday, and a few mechanical problems today forcing him out of assistance too late(he should get penalties)but realized intersting times compared to Emmanuel Guigou in the Renault Clio R3 "Evo"(they finished 6th and 7th overall)...

Annoying situation, Romain Dumas in the Porsche GT3 Evo was really promsingly fast on night SS1(3rd fastest time !!!)but his car broke down after(retired on SS2)

Edit: just before rallye du Var, last round of french tarmac championship, Cédric Robert and Bryan Bouffier get exactly the same amount of points
