Two years after a terrible accident at Rally du Var, Jean-Baptiste Franceschi has just won his second title of French Land Rally Champion.

The driver of the Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo operated by AMD Motorsport takes over from his brother Mathieu in the discipline's prize list.

Always on the podium at the finish of each rally, in addition to his victories at Causses and Lozère, Jean-Baptiste Franceschi, co-driven by Lucie Baud this season, only needed two points to definitively validate his second championship title. Champion after the one won in 2020.

The contract was fulfilled as soon as he officially appeared on the starting list for the 32nd Rallye Terre de Vaucluse even before the start of SS 1.
