Amourette master of the rain at the Dieppe Rally

Cosson was the first to take the lead in the first three stages while Amourette was battling with Vaillant. In SS4, the rain surprised the leader who had started on slicks, causing him to lose around twenty seconds. Amourette then took the lead. The driver of the 208 T16 perfectly mastered his subject on this slippery and tricky terrain while Vaillant and Cosson fiercely competed for first place. Winner of rally from Suisse Normande, Pustelnik continued to discover the DS3 WRC and considered himself in his place in 4^e position, having the joy of achieving a scratch time in the pouring rain. Subsequently, Amourette showed himself to be imperial, joining Dieppe as winners for the second consecutive time. Vaillant and Cosson fought until the last timed sector; the pilot of the Porsche punctured, still saving the 3^e step of the podium. Vaillant consolidated its position as leader of the France 2 championship^e Division. Pustelnik closed the Top 5 alongside Lemaître. Roussel took the Series GT, Lescarmontier won in group N and Dos Santos took 3rd place in group A behind the inaccessible DS3 WRC of Pustelnik and Foulon. THE F2000 returned to Delamare. N. Thérier
