Pierre Campana wants to shine in 2010

Last weekend of March 14, Pierre Campana went to Italy to compete in the Rondo del Grifo at the wheel of a Peugeot . A successful transalpine trip since the Frenchman finished in a magnificent second place, just behind a local driver entered in a Citroën Xsara WRC much more powerful than his 207 S2000 entered by the Munaretto team.
Despite the fact that he was discovering the car, the Frenchman made no mistakes despite the icy conditions:

“Those days were some of the most fun I had behind the wheel of a rally, Campana says. Our objective before taking the start was not to pay attention to the results, but rather to familiarize ourselves with this type of car. I must say that I adapted quickly, and that I found it very pleasant to drive. I was even able to experiment with a couple of little things that allowed me to form an overall opinion of the car?s behavior in different conditions. I would like to thank Ellip6 for their support: Their logo on the Peugeot is fantastic and very eye-catching. The only thing I didn't like was having to leave the tub at the end of the day. »

Ellip6 is an expert in driving simulators who wants to make its facilities available to the public in a unique way. Thus, the visitor will be able to discover the sensations felt by “real” pilots, at the controls of a car or a rally car, but also a helicopter. The Ellip6 center, based in Pierrelatte near Avignon (Vaucluse), will open its doors in the spring.

“We are very happy to support this great hope of French rallying that is Pierre, says Pierre Tantot, President of Ellip6. We firmly believe in him, and we are proud that he wears our colors in several European events. There is clearly a parallel between our activities and his profession, and this partnership must demonstrate it to fans. The construction of our first high-tech center in France is complete. This site will also be able to host business days and conferences, and we will soon be inaugurating it. I am sure that visitors will be amazed by what they will discover! From now on, we will set up a franchise system to ensure the development of our concept. »

After a second place in the Junior WRC in Corsica two years ago, a superb twelfth place in Monte Carlo aboard a Clio R3 and finally this magnificent trans performance.alpine, the 24-year-old French hopeful will take part in the Lyon-Charbonnières rally on the weekend of April 18.
