Mixed weekend for Yoann Bonato in Hungary

Aligned for the 2nd time of the season in ERC with their Citroën C5 R5, Yoann Bonato and Benjamin Boulloud did not experience the same success as in Portugal. “From the first special on Friday evening, he said at the end of the ordeal, we made a mistake and lost 20s. Saturday was very complicated. The specificities of the terrain surprised us. There are two types of roads. On the one hand, some resemble what we know in France, then there are the forest paths. It's very muddy, covered with leaves and as it had rained the grip was very changeable. We landed on SS3 and we needed help from spectators to get going again. In the woods it was impossible to see the stones and we had a puncture on SS5. In the evening, I was a little disappointed, because our performance had not been very good. » 

Ranked 15th after 9 specials, the CHL Sport Auto crew had a better 2nd stage with several times in the first 6. “ What we accomplished on Sunday gives us a smile again, concluded the double French champion. It was an enriching experience. If we come back to compete in this race in the future, we will know how to approach it. Now for the Canaries, thanks to Igol. We should find land more to our liking there. »
