Big favorite of the event with already four victories to his credit, Laurent Lacomy won a fifth by signing eight best times out of ten, a special having been canceled following an exit of a VHC competitor fortunately without seriousness.
This winning record will be difficult to beat. Stéphane Carra had abandoned his BMW M3 to rent a Ford Fiesta R5, he signed two scratch times at the end of the rally and never left 2nd place overall.
Author of regular times, Maxime Lecureux took a good third place, after Ginhoux (DS 3 R5), who was heading towards a podium, went off the road in SS 8. In group A, Gassend established himself as the last year with the added bonus of a place in the Top 10.
En F2000, Bret was ahead of Delors and Roudet (206 RC) while in group N, Aymard delivered a great duel to Arnaud to win with a margin of 18”. In GT, Panagiotis quickly found himself alone, after Abbati retired in SS1 (Porsche 997 GT3) due to mechanical problems.
