Nicolas Ciamin (i20 N Rally2-Hyundai 2C Compétition) remporte le 68ème Rally from the Var! He thus signs the double after his victory in 2021.

Nicolas Ciamin: “ It's nice, it was a very energy-intensive rally, I'm happy for the team too, we started it well and finished well. »

He is only 2.3 ahead of his runner-up Hugo Margaillan (C3 Rally2-CHL Sport Auto) at the end of the 35,34 km effort of the last Notre Dame des Anges special.

Stéphane Sarrazin (Polo GTI R5-Sarrazin Motorsport) inserts himself between the two strong men of the rally by setting the 2nd time less than a second behind Ciamin.

Stéphane Sarrazin: “ we need more long stages like that, we had a great rally. We won the title with Quentin, it was the goal of the season! »

It was time for the Rally to end for Yoann Bonato (C3 Rally2-CHL Sport Auto) who again lost almost 2 minutes on the leading trio after another puncture and failed to maintain his fourth place ahead of Pierre Campana (Fabia Rally2 evo) only for around ten seconds.

Yoann Bonato: “I hit a huge stone on the road, I had no choice but to avoid it. We were very quick to change the wheel! »
