The year 2020 couldn't have started better for Yoann Bonato and Benjamin Boulloud. Aboard their Citroën C3 R5, the French duo won the Rally du Touquet, Saturday March 14, after 18 contested special stages.
However, the CHL Sport Auto team resident was not ecstatic at the final finish. “I don't know if I deserve this victory but it's cool to start the season like this. » Indeed, the double French Champion and outgoing vice-champion took advantage of the previous leader Quentin Gilbert (Citroën) from the first special of the day to take the lead.
Then in battle with William Wagner (Citroën), Yoann Bonato isolated himself at the front following an accident by his opponent in SS 13. The afternoon loop was an opportunity to witness the return unexpected by Eric Brunson aboard the only WRC from the set, a Ford Fiesta. The 45-year-old driver finished second, just ahead of Quentin Giordano (Volkswagen).
