Rallye de Wallonie
26 to 28 April 2019
Disputed in extremely destabilizing weather conditions for the 86 crews initially listed, the 36th edition of the Rallye de Wallonie offered a lot of suspense and show. Throughout the weekend, the alternation of showers and clearings have undermined the drivers nerves forced to make corneal tire choices.
Bad start Friday evening where he was ranked only 9th of the opening stage traced on the Esplanade of the Citadelle of Namur, Adrian Fernémont gradually reversed the trend on Saturday to take command in the second loop. If the driver from Vedrin dislodged Cédric Cherain from the top of the table, he did not abdicate as long as, until the last meter of the race Sunday afternoon, the driver of the Volkswagen Polo GTi R5 gave everything he had to fail at 3 seconds from the man of Namur. A home win that had a particular flavor for Adrian Fernémont.
Second, Cédric Cherain regretted one or other hesitation during the race. The fight for the podium was also very open between Ghislain de Mévius and Sébastien Bedoret. First leader of the event Friday in the early evening, the driver of the Skoda Fabia R5 supported by the Belgian importer managed to outflank the other Skoda Fabia to settle on the last step of the podium.
During the Rallye de Wallonie, fourth round of the Belgian Rally Championship and also fourth round of the Pirelli Junior Belgian Rally Championship, Grégoire Munster has once again shown its mastery. He erased the bad memories of the TAC Rally, where he was violently off the road, by winning handily before Tobias Brüls and Thibaud Mazuin. Better than that, the son of Bernard brought also back in its pockets the victory in category R2 (RC4) before returning Guillaume Dilley, author of a very nice return to the competition on a Peugeot 208 R2.
