Another weekend brings another string of successes for the Renault Clio, with several national titles and numerous class victories across Europe !
Clio Trophy Galicia
The Clio Trophy Galicia wrapped up its season on the Rallye Ourense Ribeira Sacra roads. Marco Lorenzo and José Ángel Fente claimed their second consecutive victory, finishing 17.6s ahead of Miguel Gayoso, who had already taken the title, just as he had in the Clio Trophy Spain Asfalto. With his co-driver Carlos Guitián, he was also in contention for the title in the Copa Top Ten Pirelli, ultimately won by Ánxel Vizoso and Brais López, who finished third in the Clio Rally5 competition.
French Gravel Rally Championship
At the Rallye Terre de Vaucluse, Clio Rally3 and Clio Rally5 secured further victories, rounding off their gravel campaign in France. Sylvain and Mathieu Tamisier won the GT2i CFRT FFSA Trophy and Rally3, followed by Grégory Scotto la Chianca - Florian Chardon and Nicolas Roque - Thibaud Roque. Fresh from winning the Clio Trophy France Asphalte title, Paul and Adèle Dachicourt made a promising debut on both gravel and four-wheel drive, setting the fastest time on SS2 before crashing on the second loop. Clio Rally5 won in Rally5, with Yves Maurel and Florent Delpech.
German Rally Championship
Clio Rally3 earned another national title in Germany. Timo and Jasmin Weigert set a strong pace from the start of the Lausitz Rally and perfectly managed their rally, avoiding the route’s pitfalls and winning on the mixed special stages around Boxberg to claim the DRM3 class title. Meanwhile, the Clio Rally5 won the RC5 class with Pierre Günther and Dominic Gräbner.
Greek Rally Championship
The range excelled once again in Greece on the gravel special stages of the Fthinoporino Rally. Clio Rally3 secured a double podium in its class and a double overall top five, courtesy of Petros Panteli - Antonis Chrysostomou and Giorgos Eliopoulos - Panikos Polykarpou. Despite a nail-biting battle against their rivals in Rally3, Petros Panteli and Antonis Chrysostomou narrowly missed out on the title. The event also saw Clio Rally5 dominate the RC5 class with a one-two finish led by Dimitrios Loukas and Stavros Spanos.
Slovakian Rally Championship
After winning the first seven rounds of the calendar, Stanislav Zeman had less success and was forced to retire with his co-driver, Ján Konfal, during the second special stage of the Zemplén Rally. Having already secured the class title in Slovakia ahead of this joint finale with the Hungarian Championship, Clio Rally5 nevertheless sealed its second consecutive national title with the Slovakian driver.
Slovenian Rally Championship
Clio Rally5 wrapped up another national title in Slovenia ahead of the final round at Rally Idrija. Alan Pajk and Enej Bobič were the fastest, but Rene Černigoj and Blaž Gerbec were crowned D1 champions after finishing second. Pajk and Bobič also took third in CEZ3, while Clio Rally3 finished just off the podium in CEZ2 with Austria’s Mörtl and Timo Klinger.
French Rally Cup
Clio Rally3, Clio Rally4 and Clio Rally5 won their respective classes at Rallye de l’Indre, with Mattéo Chatillon - Amaury Auzou, third overall, alongside Thierry Landais - Morgan Lefebvre and Calvin Lucas - Julie Plat. Clio Rally3 and Clio Rally5 also triumphed at the Rallye Monts et Coteaux with Gérard Delorme - Mallaury Sola and Kévin Duc - Yann Duc, as well as at the Rallye de Beuzeville Honfleur with Guillaume Halbourg - Louise Leroux and Néo Rivallant - Tom Joly.
