With two more new scratches under his belt (SS 7 and 9), Yoann Bonato (C3 Rally2-Trajectus Motorsport) demonstrates that he is indeed the strong man of this 76th edition of Rhône-Charbonnières.

Eric Camilli (i20 N Rally2-Team Bonneton HDG-2C Compétition) performed well with his best time in SS 7. He moved up to second place in the provisional standings ahead of Hugo Margaillan (i20 N Rally2-CHL Sport Auto ). The latter fully intends to take advantage of the last loop to close his gap on Camilli.

Nothing is decided

Raphaël Astier (A110 Rally-CHL Sport Auto) is just off the provisional podium in addition to leadership in the two-wheel drive classification. The pilot Alpine must nevertheless be wary of Styve Jew who achieves a very nice rally for his debut behind the wheel of the C3 Rally2.

The last loop will be decisive in the Trophy Alpine Elf Rally! Ludovic Godard (A110 Rally) came back to within 4 seconds of Pierre Roché (A110 Rally-Team FJ).
