Earth – Jean-Marie Cuoq without equal in Langres

Jean-Marie Cuoq (Citroën C4 WRC) was the strongest in the 15th edition of the Rally Land of Langres. After being threatened by Lionel Baud (Ford Fiesta WRC), the leader of the event opted for a good choice of tires which allowed him to quickly widen the gap in the second stage. Conversely, the driver of the Ford encountered gearbox problems which caused him to drop to fourth place.

Serge Gillouin (Citroën Xsara WRC) took advantage of Lionel Baud's setbacks to take the second step of the podium despite being almost four minutes behind the winner. Jérôme Jacquot (Peugeot 207 S2000) completes the top three by less than eight seconds ahead of the Fiesta WRC, victim of its gearbox. Cyrille Feraud (Mitsubishi Lancer) completes the top five ahead of Alain Deveza (Subaru Impreza) and Arnaud Mordacq (Mitsubishi Lancer). François Durieu (Subaru Impreza STI) was at the forefront before being the victim of a road trip relegating him to eighth position ahead of Loïc Mattei (Mitsubishi Lancer) and Marc Amourette (Citroën DS3 R3) who completed the winning top ten in 2WD and Citroën Racing Trophy.
