Third in this last meeting of the season, Léo Rossel (C3 Rally2-PH Sport by Minerva Oil) won the title of French Rally Champion, five years after his brother Yohan.
Guillaume Mercoiret is the new French Co-Driver Rally Champion.
The short last stage of this 70th edition of the Rally of Var will have been decisive!
With fog and rain on the agenda, crews had to make the right choices.
Less than a second separated Léon Rossel, Yoann Bonato (C3 Rally2-Trajectus Motorsport) and Mathieu Franceshi (Fabia RS Rally2).

In the end, it was Bonato who had the last word. Bonato finished the rally as he had started it by setting the best time. Back after his big road crash in the Vosges, Bonato and his co-driver Benjamin Boulloud took second place in the Championship.
Very incisive this morning, Franceschi took second place on the podium ahead of Rossel, the new French Rally Champion.
The rally's top performer, Eric Camilli (i20 N Rally2-Team Bonneton HDG-2C Compétition) lost all hope of victory after a puncture on SS 6. He finished in fourth place ahead of Anthony Fotia (C3 Rally2-PH Sport by Minerva Academy GT2i).
Winner of the 2 Wheel Drive classification in Sainte-Maxime, the Cédric Robert-Matthieu tandem Duval wins a new title of French 2-Wheel Drive Rally Champion, as in 2022.

Hello everyone, so for me what Tanac did is a huge professional mistake, knowing his salary at Hunday!! Because, apart from a mechanical failure or a withdrawal due to going off the road, how could he think that T. Neuville would not score 6 points, especially since he had been able to see the Super time achieved by Neuville!!!! While a 2nd place overall and offer the title of Constructor to Hunday, his EMPLOYER!!!!!
