Hernandez without opposition to Vouvray Wines

With Pustelnik's withdrawal awaiting parts for his C3, Poitevin "Nico" Hernandez (Fabia R5) drove without pressure to win in this rally regional counting for the Michelin Rally Tour. Drought and its enemy, fire, came along: the side exhaust of a turbo car twice caused a straw bale fire, disrupting the course of the rally and leading to the neutralization of the end of the event. Some crews were only able to do three special stages out of six! The Nantes driver Gobin (Fabia R5) completes the podium with the Norman Langlois (Mitsubishi Evo10), who benefited from the abandonment of Blanc-Garin (208 R5), victim of the explosion of his battery. Jaudel, from Var, pocketed an unexpected victory in R-GT after JL Roché gave up (power cuts). Fourth victory in the FRC4 group this season for Charles (Clio) ahead of Mahier (208) and Magnin (106 S16), all these lovely people climbing into the top 8 in the scratch!
