Lohéac – Loeb and Solberg qualified for the semi-finals

After setting the tenth time in the third qualifying round, Sébastien Loeb (Citroën DS3) set the eleventh fastest time in the last round. The nine-time world champion secured ninth place in the general classification and thus won his ticket to the semi-finals where the 12 best drivers will compete this afternoon. Petter Solberg (Citroën DS3), second in his race, set a nice fourth time and finished qualifying in eighth position. Jean-Philippe Dayraut (Peugeot 207 WRC) finished just outside the top 12, but the 2011 French Supertouring champion took advantage of a change in the rankings to grab a place in the semi-finals, at the expense of Liam Doran (Citroën DS3).

On the other hand, Kris Meeke (Peugeot 208) will not go any further. Despite his victory in the last race and his tenth time at the end of the last round, the Irishman failed in 18th position overall. Hervé Knapick (Peugeot 207 WRC) ranks 16th ahead of Jérôme Grosset-Janin (Renault Clio 3), leader of the French Championship Rallycross.

Timur Timerzyanov (Citroën DS3) finished on pole after the four rounds contested. Davy Jeanney (Citroën C4) is the closest after beating the Championship leader in the last race and setting the second fastest time behind Andreas Bakkerud (Citroën DS3) who finished third in the standings. Fabien Pailler (Peugeot 208) follows in fourth position ahead of Timmy Hansen (Citroën DS3), Tanner Foust (Ford Fiesta) and Gaetan Serazin (Peugeot 207). Henning Solberg (Saab 93) and Alexander Hvaal (Citroën DS3) are the last to qualify.
