Rallye du Boulonnais: Great first for Saint Requier

August 19-20

Already victorious at the regional level, Yves Saint Requier won his first national success on the beautiful but tricky roads of Boulonnais. Big favorite and winner of the previous edition on his Mitsubishi R4, Johan Vanson set off with a bang before being the victim of an impressive off-road event in SS3. The driver of the Skoda Fabia R5 released at the start of the season then took control and managed the situation perfectly. Leader of the 2-wheel drive, Lance won a brilliant silver medal on his home turf. The podium was completed by the combative Debove, freed when the threat posed by Dapoigny's 207 S2000 resumed. Runner-up of Saint Requier in group R, Martel also made a great breakthrough in the scratch, just like the young Sénécat and Caron, installed in the places of honor in the group F2000 from the rapid withdrawals of Legrand and Mees. In the pace, Denis for his part took group A. Barbosa and Tiquet finally completed the trifecta of group N after the misfortunes of Roussel and Rambure. B. Sailly
