The last special confirmed the effectiveness of Anthony Cosson's GT+ (Porsche 992 Rally GT) and Raphaël Astier (A110 GT-P-CHL Sport Auto) on this course. Both drivers respectively finished this time at the top of the timesheet.

Yoann Bonato (C3 Rally2-Trajectus Motorsport) finishes this rally with a 6,5 second lead over Eric Camilli (i20 N Rally2-2C Competition).

What a rally by Anthony Cosson! In addition to his scratch in SS 13, the Porsche driver took advantage of Hugo Margaillan's (i20 N Rally2-CHL Sport Auto) mishaps, who crashed out, to grab the third step of the final podium, in addition to his victory in the two-wheel drive category.

Pablo Sarrazin (C3 Rally2-Sarrazin Motorsport-Iron Lynx) came from behind after a puncture early in the rally. He finished in fourth place ahead of Mattéo Chatillon (Fabia RS Rally2), who drove a "smart" rally to finish in the top five.

Romain di Fante (Corsa Rally4) made a winning return to the French Championship by winning the Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup ahead of Mattéo Codaccioni (208 Rally4) and Benjamin Stirling (208 Rally4).
