Peugeot 208 Rally Cup
Rallye Vosges Grand Est (asphalt) - Round 3 of 7






Yohan Rossel (driver, Sarrazin Motorsport)
1st overall and provisional 2018 208 Rally Cup leader


“It was a perfect weekend for us. We worked well with the team and hardly made any mistakes, even though it was by no means a straightforward weekend. Winning this event to take my score to three victories on the trot is extremely encouraging for the rest of the year.



We will now focus on the Rallye du Rouergue which is a particularly complex event. We won’t be the only ones wanting to win it so we intend to prepare thoroughly and fine-tune the set-up of our car to be as ready as we possibly can be!”
 




Efren Llarena (driver, Llarena Racing)
2nd overall


“It was a tough rally but we did our best to finish on the podium and we succeeded. It was a good result but we still need to improve. I wasn’t entirely happy with my pace notes and that’s something I will have to work on before the Rallye du Rouergue because it’s an event where anything can happen.



I am pleased to be contesting the 208 Rally Cup because it’s one of the very best European single-make championships. The level is very high and you need to push all the time.”
 



Léo Rossel (driver, Sébastien Loeb Racing)
3rd overall and best-placed Junior


“Our weekend didn’t get off to the best of starts when we punctured on SS1 after finding a good early pace. We needed to dig deep to climb back after that. We weren’t the fastest but we were consistent and posted several top-three times.



We didn’t make any mistakes and that paid off. The next round sees the championship reach its midpoint. We are obviously targeting a place on the ERC Experience course, but I believe Hugo Margaillan is slightly faster. His mistake this weekend allowed us to climb up the order and, if any more chances like that arise, we will be only too happy to snap them up.”

1st, provisional Junior standings


“It turned out to be a complex rally for us even though we got off to a promising start on Day 1. Unfortunately, we made a mistake which saw us lose ground. The conditions were hard and we didn’t want to take any risks but we changed our objective.



 From Sunday morning, we pushed hard in order to post the weekend’s highest number of stage wins which we ended up doing. So that was a good result in terms of the Junior championship and we have a chance of attending the ERC Experience course. Who actually goes will be settled between Léo Rossel and me on the Rallye du Rouergue, and I hope it will be us!”
