It's time: the French Rally Championship is back for another year. The season will open this Friday, March 14th, at Le Touquet, the traditional inaugural round of the championship. In Pas-de-Calais, the crews will compete in twelve special stages, spread over two days of racing. Starting Friday, they will attack their rally with a first morning loop of 45 kilometers, divided into four special stages. The same circuit will be used again in the afternoon after the lunch break.
On Saturday, there will be four special stages left to run, including the longest – and most anticipated – stage of the event: nearly 30 kilometers between Hucqueliers and Parenty, twice as long as the other special stages. Furthermore, it will be run twice and will serve as the final stage, where victory may be at stake.
Among the favorites, it's hard not to mention Yoann Bonato, five-time French champion, who is aiming for a sixth title. Eric Camili will also have his part to play at the wheel of the Hyundai i20 Rally2, not forgetting Hugo Margaillan, Stéphane Lefebvre, Sarah Rumeau and Lucas Darmezin.
