KCMG Driver Development Project (KCMG-DDP) member Pablo Sarrazin has taken the solo lead of the Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup France following an excellent second-placed finish in the Rallye Terre d’Aléria.
Heading into the first gravel rally of the campaign level on points at the top on the standings, Sarrazin, along with co-driver Geoffrey Combe, mastered the hilly east coast of Corsica. Featuring long stages, blind corners and big jumps, the duo handled everything expertly to finish no lower than fourth in each of the 10 Special Stages, clinching a second podium of the season.
The 2024 Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup France has now hit the halfway mark, with three rounds left in the campaign. The series returns to tarmac for the next event, the Rallye Rouergue Aveyron, on 4-6 July.
PABLO SARRAZIN
“I’m delighted with P2 this weekend! The whole team did a great job and we clinched a strong haul of points. It’s an amazing feeling to be on our own in the lead of the championship at the halfway stage, but there are still three events to go so we need to continue to work hard to score well in each rally. Thanks as always to KCMG for the support and I’m looking forward to being back in the car!”
GEOFFREY COMBE CO-DRIVER
“It was a great event for us, as we clinched another podium and scored big points for our title challenge. Thanks to the whole team, who did a fantastic job with the car and to KCMG as well. We’re already excited for the next round at Rallye Rouergue Aveyron.”
PAUL IP KCMG FOUNDER
“We’re really pleased with Pablo’s performance this weekend. He drove maturely and strongly throughout, always having the championship in mind. He showed his speed on the first day and then maintained position on Saturday, scoring big points and putting himself in a great place heading into the second half of the campaign. It was a difficult rally, and a challenge for Pablo considering it was his first time at the rally, but he was comfortable in the car and performed really well.”
