The Course de Côte de Saint Savin was one of the most hotly contested hillclimbs in France this year. Race 1 saw Olivier Augusto lead Marcel Sapin by .012 seconds and Maxime Cotleur by .310. Neither Augusto or Cotleur could improve their times in the second race. Sapin could, but only by .035 seconds which was still enough for the lead. In the third race it was Sapin who could not go faster while the other two could. Augusto was quickest again, just .024 seconds ahead of Cotleur. There was time for a fourth run and here Cotleur set a brilliant time. The young Norma M20 FC pilot was the only driver to go under 43 seconds. It was enough to remain ahead of the two former winners and claim victory.
The three leaders were a lot quicker than everybody else. Fourth placed Pierre Vian was almost 1,5 seconds slower then the top 3. Fifth placed Emeline Breda was the fastest female driver and she also finished third in Group D/E.
The Simca’s were on top in the touringcars. Pascal Simonot in the CG remained ahead of Frédéric Breysse in the Rallye III. The podium was completed by Group N winner Guillaume Gillet. The Mitsubishi Lancer pilot was just .054 seconds quicker than Group A winner Gilles Darmochod, but it was enough.
