New victory for Grégoire Hotz in Switzerland(Rallye du Chablais)

Florian Gonon and Philippe Roux climb on the podium too...

Apparently accident for Olivier Burri in the last stage(SS16)which leads to cancel the stage and give notional times to the drivers after Hotz and Roux...

I'm back right now from Rally Santa Cruz, it was the first time that I went to see one of the rounds of Madeira rally Championship this season. Nice battle between Filipe Freitas (Clio S1600), and Miguel Nunes (Peugeot S1600) for second place.
Yes it was a comfortably victory for Alexandre, but it is important to say that he has beaten most of the stages records...
