The Rhône-Charbonnières rally, 2nd round of the French championship which begins this Friday, promises a hell of a fight. With triple French champion Yoann Bonato and perhaps even more so Nicolas Ciamin in the men's suit to beat, while Cédric Robert and Julien Saunier (Alpine) could surprise in the sun.
After three years of waiting, the faithful spectators of the "Charbo" could be rewarded for having waited so long. Because the 74th edition of the Rhone rally of the French asphalt championship, canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, promises to be as uncertain as ever, with an extremely dense top of the basket, among the 106 engaged in modern. Will we see a battle as indecisive as during the 2012 and 2015 vintages, which saw Dany Snobeck and Jean-Marie Cuoq triumph with a margin of 9 and 11 seconds?
