French Rally Championship

2025 Clio Trophy France Terre title-winners Mika Rasoamaromaka and Mélissa Declerck made their third appearance in their official Clio Rally3 programme at Rallye Terre de Lozère.

The Fun Meca Sport team crew immediately took the lead in their class with a string of fastest times before a puncture cost them over three minutes late on Saturday. Relegated to nearly two minutes behind the leaders, the crew put in superb runs in Le Born and Allenc to fight their way back up the order and secure victory with a 1m48.5s advantage in Rally3 and the GT2i CFRT FFSA Trophy. Jérôme Jacquot - Jean-Christophe Delcambre and Dominique Bruyneel - Kenny Deroo in their Clio Rally3s joined them on the podium.

Clio Rally5 also secured a clean sweep of the top five places in its class on the special stages set out around Mende. Grégory Scotto la Chianca and Florian Chardon took the win ahead of Clio Trophy France Terre leaders, Alexandre Brossy and Sébastien Enjalbert, and Romain Sagnes and Frédéric Vincent.

French Rallycross Championship

Clio RX shone in front of more than 80,000 spectators at the Lohéac Rallycross.
