Rallycross – Fabien Pailler wins the title in Dreux

Fabien Pailler (Peugeot 208) follows in the footsteps of his father Jean-Luc by winning the title of French champion of Rallycross in Supercars despite a difficult weekend. The one who took 18th place in Lohéac (Ille-et-Vilaine) for the World RX round clashed with his rival Jean-Baptiste Dubourg (Citroën C4), causing mechanical problems on both cars and preventing both contenders to qualify for the final. Pailler finally won by four points ahead of the DA Racing driver. Jérôme Grosset-Janin (Renault Clio 3) took the opportunity to shine by winning his semi-final and thus securing the best position on the grid for the final which he won on a wet track ahead of Jean-Baptiste Dubourg and Marc Laboulle (Citroën C4).

Andréa Dubourg (Clio 2) a remporté la finale des S1600 devant Laurent Chartrain (Citroën C2) et Cyril Raymond (Twingo), mais c’est ce dernier qui décroche le titre pour sa première saison dans la catégorie. Christophe Saunois (Toyota Corolla) déjà titré en D3 avant la fin de saison a abandonné, laissant Guy Moreton (Citroën DS3 T3F) s’imposer dans cette dernière manche. Christophe Barbier (Peugeot 206 GT) s’est imposé en D4 mais le titre revient à Emmanuel Anne (Clio RS maxi F2000). Stéphan Devoulon wins the Twingo Cup ahead of Firmin Cadeddu who can console himself by finishing in first place in the Cup standings, four points ahead of Enzo Libner who wins the Junior Championship.
