Already victorious in SR5 on Thursday morning, Karel Colibert and Nathalie Zbinden, in their VW ID5, added a second success in this 2nd Leg before heading back to Valence, in SR7 between Antraigues sur Volane and Saint-Andéol de Vals (18 km). This is just as significant as the hydrogen-powered Hyundai Nexo of the Braley-Jouve duet, who also won two Regularity Specials on Thursday. But the good operation in the standings is for the female duet entered by the Monaco Department of Urban Development: they finished the day in 2nd place, just behind the Kia EV6 of Jacques Pastor and Fulvio Gazzola who managed their leadership perfectly, all day long. They returned to Valence at the top of the overall standings on Thursday evening, at the end of a very lively day on the beautiful roads of Ardèche.
