Amourette at the end of the Dieppe Rally

From the first kilometers, Amourette fired his first shots against Brunson faced with a car that was delicate in damping on the bumpy SS1. The DS3 R5 driver won the first three stages before his rival took control. Behind, Beaubelique was in a fight with the outgoing winner Cosson, author of a scratch time before having to give up at the end of the event. The fate of rally was played out in the last special: leader with a little less than 5" in advance, Brunson suffered a puncture and was pipped to the wire by Amourette. From a distance, Beaubelique was on number 3^e step of the podium, while Comole and Roussel closed the Top 5. Rimbeaux took the last place in Gr. A, as did Roussel in Gr. R. Gr. N returned to Leduc ahead of Quersin and Delesque. Demaux pocketed the F2000 against Caron and Lemire. N. Thérier
