The duel between Guillaume Canivenq (Peugeot 207 S2000) and Patrick Henry (Peugeot 206 WRC) for the conquest of first place in the French championship would go almost unnoticed. Friday evening, it was Pieter Tsjoen (Ford Focus) who showed himself the most, setting the scratch time in the first three stages of the Rally. After 27 km of competition, the Belgian already counts? 27 seconds ahead of his closest pursuer, Eric Brunson, winner in Pas-de-Calais in 2008.

This Saturday, two loops of five special stages are on the program, with more than a hundred kilometers to cover. The 'super special' in the town center of Le Touquet, held at the opening of the Rally in the heart of the seaside town, is scheduled again this Saturday, with two passages in front of the public in Le Touquet.
