Langres: the celebration of 207 S 2000

If ??Manu?? Gascou was the big man of the first stage on Saturday, this Sunday Simon Jean-Joseph made a superb comeback, and finally took first place. As for the Swiss Laurent Reuche, he took second place in the very last special, 1??5 ahead of Gascou.

After his victory obtained with an Xsara WRC au rally Terre de l?Auxerrois, Simon Jean-Joseph took a nice gamble this time, by choosing a much less efficient mount, a priori. “ During the first stage, I first had to adapt to this car, and in terms of the settings, we had not taken the right direction. But we went back to other settings for this step. Today, I enjoyed myself, and the battle with these two young guns from the Promotion Formulas Peugeot that are Gascou and Reuche particularly motivated me. »

Helped this year by Peugeot Sport and Peugeot Suisse, Laurent Reuche, winner of two rounds out of four in the Swiss Championship, came to carry out a ??freelance?? on land that he likes. “ The results are very positive. Second place didn't come down to much, and we really went for it. I had a lot of pleasure coming back to race in France, in this event where we are always well received. »

Finally Emmanuel Gascou, the third thief at the wheel of a 207 S 2000, was a little disappointed: “ Finishing on the podium is good, but after yesterday, I was hoping for better. This morning, we made a small mistake, with a straight ahead which caused us to lose around ten seconds. As for the French championship, we are not performing the best operation, since we are still tied for the championship with Paul Chieusse. »
