Morocco Rally – Guillaume de Mévius and François Cazalet, express learning

Toyota Hilux T1+ is colorful but has the merit of being quickly recognizable. Quickly is also the favorite adjective of Guillaume de Mévius and his co-pilot François Cazalet in this first half of Rally of Morocco 2023.

For their debut in the premier category of W2RC, the Belgian-French crew continues to progress in the hierarchy: 10th in the first stage, 7th the next day, then 5th this Monday around Zagora.

“It was a long stage”, declared the Belgian hopeful, son of the former rally-raid driver, Grégoire de Mévius. “It went well, there were no punctures or mechanical problems. We were quite careful at the start of the special in the stony passages, we lost a few minutes on the first ones at this point (Ekström-Bergkvist). "

On the navigation, nothing to complain about either. However, the distance between T3, the category where the duo operated until last summer, and T1+ is more than high! “ We found all the Way-points on the first try. No problem there. Tomorrow (Tuesday), it will be the biggest day of the Rallye du Maroc, the most complicated too, with dunes and more navigation. »

In the general classification, Guillaume de Mévius and François Cazalet are in 6th place, 25 minutes behind leaders Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel (Toyota).
