The Super 2000s featured in Lyon

Despite regulations still favorable to pilots and gentlemen-drivers registered with WRC (there will be seven for this first event), some young drivers have taken the Super 2000 bet to start the season.

Hosts of the 2008 French Championship, Jean-Sébastien Vigion (4th), Ludovic Gal (5th) and Olivier Marty (8th) will be opposed to Guillaume Canivenq, former official driver Peugeot Sport, in this category of the future.

Presented as the revelation of last season, Jean-Sébastien Vigion is starting a new campaign thanks to the support of Yacco: “We were able to convince new partners to bet on us and Yacco wanted to continue the adventure. This year, we have everything to do well. We know the events and I have good experience with the Peugeot 207 Super 2000. Faced with the WRC, it will still be difficult to aim for victory,” confides the winner of the Coupe de France and the BFGoodrich Trophy.

Yacco is also involved in Ludovic Gal's program. The Haut-Savoyard, winner of the Critérium des Cévennes last season at the wheel of a Peugeot 307WRC, will be at the start of the first rally of the season at the controls of an Abarth Grande Punto Super 2000: “I admit that we have long hoped to be able to set up a WRC program but I am very happy to drive the Grande Punto. It is different from the Peugeot that I had last year on most of the rounds. My Super 2000 experience should be an asset. »

Olivier Marty, more accustomed to pull-ups, will join the fight on his land. The Lyonnais will drive a Peugeot 207 Super 2000: “It’s a magnificent opportunity for us. The 207 is the benchmark in the category. I am very motivated ! »
