Eric Camilli (C3 Rally2-PH Sport by Minerva Oil) thought he had done the hardest part by widening the gap on his rivals during SS 10. But Léo Rossel (C3 Rally2-PH Sport by Minerva Oil) and Yoann Bonato ( C3 Rally2-CHL Sport Auto) in the following special.

Bonato and Rossel took advantage of SS 11 to gain 5,4 and 4,5 seconds respectively from Camilli, third in this time.

The 45,95 kilometers of the last loop promise to be decisive in knowing the name of the winner of the 26th edition of the Rally Heart of France Centre-Val de Loire.

Still in the discovery phase of Sarrazin Motorsport's Fabia RS Rally2, Nicolas Ciamin is lurking in fourth place.

Dislodged from the lead of the 2WD after SS 10 by Raphaël Astier (A110 Rally-CHL Sport Auto), Anthony Cosson (Porsche 991 GT3 Cup) took back the lead in SS 11. Cosson and Astier will engage in an intense duel until the finish!

In the Trophy Alpine Elf Rallye, Ludovic Godard (A110 Rally) retains the lead but he must be wary of the comeback of Pierre Roché (A110 Rally-Team FJ), back to less than 10 seconds from first place.

Firmly attached to first place in the women's classification, Mireille Vidueira (Fiesta Rally3) went off the road, without seriousness, on SS 10.
