On avait plus vu Franck Lions depuis 2019 et le Rallye d’Antibes et il signe son retour de la plus belle des façons en s’imposant sur le Rallye de Grasse au volant de la Skoda Fabia R5 du Team Balbosca. La bataille aura été belle avec Jean Marc Falco qui doit rendre son carnet après l’ES5 sur une soucis mécanique.
Derrière c’est un très bon Frédéric Maillan qui termine second devant la Clio Super 1600 « volante » de Cyril Audirac.
On notera la superbe place de Johnny Jakibsen qui rentre dans le Top 10 avec sa BMW 318 compact.
On notera la 12 ème place de Patrice Gandibleux et la 18 ème place de Philippe Besson qui ont connu tous deux des fortunes diverses mais nous y reviendrons.
