Stéphane Lefebvre, the 4 pass at Monza?

At the end of the season, Stéphane Lefebvre is on the rise. Winner of the Coupe de France Final in Châteauroux, the Frenchman did it again on the very tricky terrain of Condroz in Belgium against all the local specialists. Last weekend, a new victory enriched his record when he won in the rally du Vaucluse, the final round of the French Terre championship. Pleasure returning to the DS3 WRC used in the World Cup in 2015 and 2016 during his time with Citroën Racing, Lefebvre dominated the Norwegian OC Veiby who had a more modern car. During these three successes, the former 2014 Junior champion collaborated with three different teammates, Gilles de Turckheim, Renaud Jamoul and Benjamin Veillas. Inspired by the "stratagem" used by Emil Lindholm in Catalonia to compete in the round (the Finn having reached the number of authorized races, he entered his sailor... and won!), it is Turckheim who appears in the entry list for the Monza rally! The regulations in fact prohibit a driver who has been nominated by a manufacturer to score points during the last 5 years from competing in WRC3... but nothing is indicated for the co-driver! Given his current pace, Stéphane Lefebvre has arguments to aim for victory, especially since he already knows the event after his participation last year (7e in WRC2). The Frenchman could also play an important role in winning the title in this category where he could take points from Yohan Rossel or Kajetan Kajetanowicz.
