Vienne Rally: Untouchable Hernandez

A very good start to the season for Hernandez who, with 11 scratches out of 12, left no doubt about his competitiveness. However, the threat is becoming clearer, with the return to business of Mickaël Faucher, who was content with a studious race, undoubtedly not without consequences. Alone in GT, Taffonneau did not take any risks to contain Longépé, who reached the final podium behind the two untouchable Skodas. In great form, Geoffrey Labrousse gave Touvron no chance in R2. On the “grandmother” (a Mégane 16V), Rageau, after making a few mistakes, had to roll up his sleeves to win the group F2000 against Germain. Clear victory for Mahier in group N, against the young Gonzales. In group A, without making any noise, Favreau won the victory against Chatillon, who returned to action after a ten-year break. G.
