A very open 26th edition of the Rallye Epernay Vins de Champagne

The succession of Quentin Giordano on the highest step of the podium of the rally Epernay Vins de Champagne is particularly open. No less than 11 cars from the premier category have been announced this weekend at the start of this co-opening of the 2nd division French Rally Championship. Among the candidates for victory, we can cite Laurent Bayard (Fabia Rally2) who won in 2016 in Champagne and took 4th place in the rally final in Bethune in February or Eddy Lemaitre (French rally champion 2nd reigning division) which will be sailed by Thomas Chauffray in the Fabia Evo Rally2. But also Bozec, Salaun, Prévalet, Bouchy, Schwab, Marchal or the former winners Vauthier (9 victories) and Pereira (2 successes). Laurent Viana and Isabelle Galmiche will try to place the DS3 WRC as high as possible compared to the latest generation cars.
