The entry list for the Rallye Terre d'Aléria, the third round of the CFRT 2026, has been revealed.

While Antibes hosts the French Asphalt Rally Championship this weekend, the French Gravel Rally Championship is preparing for its third round of the season next week on the Isle of Beauty during the Rally Aléria Land. Florent Todeschini and Florian Barral, as well as Sarah Rumeau and Julie Amblard, co-leaders of the championship after two rounds, will of course be present, as will Conner Martell and Alex Gelsomino, the other 2C Compétition crew. In Rally2, the list of favorites is strong, as it also includes the two-time winners of the event: Matthieu and Mathilde Margaillan (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), Emmanuel Gascou – Gilles de Turckheim (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), Quentin Ribaud – Loan Biagetti (Hyundai i20N Rally2), Yann Clairay, back from a stint in Rallycross, and Thomas Roux (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), not forgetting Florian Bernardi – Christopher Guieu (Toyota GR Yaris Rally2).

The local riders will be ones to watch at the Aléria Rallye Terre.

Last year, the local drivers were impressive at the Rallye Terre d'Aléria. Among the outsiders, if not favorites, we must also mention Henri Venturini – Dominique Corvi (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), who were in contention for the podium last year before a puncture, Christophe Casanova – Etienne Padrone (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), and Damien Mattei – Geoffrey Combe (Škoda Fabia RS Rally2), the latter two competing in the entire championship this season.

Aléria will also host the second round of the SMRC4, a one-make series organized by Stellantis Motorsport. There too, the favorites will be present, including Matteo Codaccioni – Marine Lacruz, Alexandre Villiod – Maëlle Casays, Quentin Vialatte – Alexis Maillefert, Loic Costes – Christelle Perrin, and the winners of the first round at Le Touquet, Arthur Roché – Quentin Proust. The SMRC4 members will participate in a second rally on gravel at the end of August, the Rallye Terre de Lozère. All these crews will also compete in the CFRT 2-Wheel Drive category, a classification that Loïc Astier and Luca Testor will surely be aiming for.Peugeot 208 F214). Also of note is that a VHC support rally will be held on this occasion with 13 competitors entered, including the Vice-Emir of Qatar, Abdullah Al Thani, co-driven by the event organizer, Sabrina de Castelli (Ford Escort).
