Rally France – The champion returns to Limousin

Winner of the opening round of the season at Le Touquet, Julien Maurin, who favors the World Cup in 2014, had missed the Lyon-Charbonnières. But fans of the Ford Fiesta RS driver rejoice, the reigning French champion will be back this weekend. And he will aim for nothing more and nothing less than victory. “Our next World Cup being scheduled in just two months, we have decided to reconnect with the French Championship and the Fiesta WRC on the beautiful roads of Limousin! We will have no pressure. » declares Maurin.

Il devra faire face au leader du classement général Gilles Nantet et sa toujours très appréciée Porsche 911 997 GT2. “We absolutely have to get into the top 10 to score all the points in the GT group, in the GT10 class and for Team 2B Yacco. The objective seems within our reach but the weather, always complex in Limousin, will undoubtedly be decisive once again. » explains the latter. The other headliners of the event will undoubtedly be the WRCs of Jean-Marie Cuoq (Citroën C4), Pierre Roché (Mini) and David Salanon, also entered in a Ford Fiesta.

In the other categories, Jean-Charles Beaubelique will once again be in his Fiesta R5. Manu Guigou and Germain Bonnefis will defend the colors of Renault Sport with their Megane RS N4. The Opel Adam Cup trophy and the 208 Rally Cup will also be there. Start of hostilities on Friday morning at 10:13 a.m. and the Tarnac ES.
