Rallye du Limousin – Brunson despite the pitfalls

Eric Brunson has his sixth success in the French Rally Championship. The driver of the Ford Fiesta WRC was able to overcome the difficulties during the first day of Rally of Limousin, and the punctures encountered, to finally win in front of David Salanon (Ford Fiesta), who was unable to do anything during the second stage to counter the future winner and was even forced to watch the return of Sylvain Michel , third in the general classification and first in the R5 category with his Skoda Fabia.

Yoann Bonato failed in fourth position, at the wheel of a DS3 R5 that the Isérois never found to his liking. Frédéric Raynal (Ford Fiesta R5) finished 5th and pocketed the Michelin Trophy. Loïc Astier won the Junior category after the successive crashes of Romain Di-Fante and Jérémy Jamet while fighting for victory. Charles Martin wins the Clio R3T Trophy event.
