Baud dominates his subject at the Rallye Terre de Lozère

Lionel Baud (DS 3 WRC) signed at Rally Terre de Lozère its first success of the year, winning this event for the third time. The winner dominated his field by winning with more than half a minute ahead of Sylvain Michel (Skoda Fabia R5).

The podium was monopolized by the title contenders, Thibault Durbec (DS 3 WRC) finishing almost a minute behind the winner.

Max Vatanen (Hyundai i20 R5) a rallié l’arrivée au 4e rang en marquant la rupture dans le peloton puisque le Finlandais a terminé à plus de 4 minutes. Le fils d’Ari Vatanen a profité de l’erreur de Vuillaume de Mevius (Citroën C3 R5) qui a endommagé sa transmission en partant à la faute dans l’ES8. Le Belge a tout de même pu rallier l’arrivée en complétant le Top 5 devant Arnaud Mordacq (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX), vainqueur du Groupe N à la 6e place.

Adrien fourmaux (Ford Fiesta R2) secured another category victory and secures the title of French Junior champion.
