Fourmaux, Rovanperä, Camilli… beautiful people at Dévoluy

It is already certain that the service park set up in the middle of the Joue du Loup resort will be the most beautiful ever seen during the eight previous editions of this event. Present last year with the Yaris Rally2 and Sami Pajari, the Toyota Gazoo Racing will this time field a Yaris Rally1 for double world champions Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen. For the Nordic driver, it will be an opportunity to return to a Rally1 that he has not used since Chile in September. Hyundai will also be part of it by allowing Adrien fourmaux and Alexandre Coria to discover the i20 Rally1 in competition. It is almost certain that the Finn and the Frenchman will drive machines without the hybrid unit and it seems that this will also be the first public outing of Hankook tires. This last statement will have to be verified on site, because conflicting information is circulating on this subject.

While Kalle and Adrien will probably have a list of tests to carry out, the Dévoluy will offer Eric Camilli the opportunity to evolve with the Hyundai i20 Rally2 Step 2 which will be homologated in January. After Kris Meeke during the rally from Var, it will be interesting to gather the comments of the one who won twice in 2 in the French championship with the previous version of the Korean. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but this participation could suggest that the Niçois will attack his 2024 season earlier than expected and in the world…

For the victory, a match should oppose the 2024 French Earth champions, the Margaillan family (Fabia RS), Damien Oberti (Fabia Evo) who will be the local of the stage, Pablo Sarrazin who will discover the C3 Rally2 and Mattéo Chatillon, whose 2^e released with the Toyota Yaris Rally2. Sarah Rumeau will abandon the Ford Fiesta used this year for a Citroën C3 Rally2 and Olivier Burri will try to make a place for himself among the youngsters.

While it is not impossible that there will be snow for this edition, the competitors will have 10 special stages to compete in for a total of almost 140 km timed.
