Good to see Charles Martin and Jeremi Ancian still in action. They were both Peugeot Rally Academy drivers in the ERC a few years ago, if memory serves me...

You're right.
Note also Julien Saunier, spiritual son of Jean Ragnotti, switching from Clio to Fabia R5.

Also Badel will be interesting to see how he does it in his R2 debut in his home rally

That's the best french championship since sooo long. Good to see so many young - or not so young now - talented drivers having R5. Now we have :
- Yoann Bonato (34 y/o) : former Citroën & Opel official drivers, winner of Swift Cup & Adam Cup
- Vincent Dubert (24 y/o) : winner of Citroën Trophy 2015
- Fabiano Lo Fiego (37 y/o) : two times third of Citroën Challenge (2005 & 2006)
- Quentin Giordano (30 y/o) : top contender of various french trophies, podiums in JWRC, one podium in WRC2
- Charles Martin (28 y/o) : winner of Twingo Trophy 2012, winner of 208 Racing Cup 2014, official Peugeot driver in ERC 2015, winner of Clio Trophy 2016
- Yohan Rossel (22 y/o) : winner of french junior champ in 2014, winner of CRT 2016
- Jérémi Ancian (33 y/o) : winner of Suzuki Cup 2009, winner of Peugeot cup 2012, official Peugeot driver in ERC 2013, then Nothing
- Bruno Riberi (25 y/o) : some good results in Peugeot Cup (5th in 2015)

+ some good gentlemen (Roché, Mauffrey, Gal, ...)

The 30+ drivers never had the opportunity to drive good 4WD cars, even when it was S2000 time. Now they are here. That's great.

Entry List for Lyon-Charbonnières:http://www.asarhone.com/site/pdf.php...s_modernes.pdf

Friday there are 5 stages (2x2 stages + SSS) and on saturday another 8 (2x4 stages).
Stages are fast and mostly wide, although some parts are a bit Barum (bumpy broken tarmac with gravel, fast and in a forest). When wet, there are some very slippery black patches on the tarmac. Stages for the brave drivers, I think the leading 208s will be high up in the general classification again!.

By the way ... can you tell why Robert Consani nearly stopped rallying? I saw at ewrc-results.com he did some few small rallies in 2016, none till now in 2017. Lack of budget?

Sad news from Italy and France. RIP.
