Vosges Grand Est – Bonato and Boulloud winners

Despite the victory, Yoann Bonato's fear of the wind wasn't far behind. "We did a lot of scratching, but the gap isn't very significant," the Isérois rider emphasized at the final checkpoint.

In second place, Eric Camilli / Thibault de La Haye, in Hyundai i20 N Rally2, confirm their performance: "On paper, we were a little slower than Yoann. It's a rally where I am not the most comfortable, but the step has been taken, and taken well.

Var driver Hugo Margaillan, co-driven by Mathieu Coppa, also in a Hyundai i20 N Rally2, completed the podium. He regretted his tire choices during the final loop, particularly after being overtaken by Camilli by very narrow margins (~0,1 s).

Raphaël Astier, entered in the 2RM category and in the Trophy Alpine GT+, drove theAlpine A110 Rallye GT+. He finished 4th overall, while winning both categories.

Quentin Gilbert, fifth, drove a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, and Styve Juif, sixth, was at the wheel of a Citroën C3 Rally2. The latter attacked from start to finish, particularly against Gilbert.

Réhane Gany, ninth (Citroën C3 Rally2) regrets not having been able to score more points during this round.

Trophies side:

• Florian Bernardi won the Trophy Alpine RGT with sound Alpine A110 Rally RGT.

• Benjamin Stirling, driving a Peugeot  208 Rally4, won the SMRC4. He dedicated this victory to his grandmother who passed away the previous week.
