GOLD FOR FRANCE AS TEAM UK MISSES OUT ON RALLY MEDALS

-

France bagged rallying’s first FIA Motorsport Games gold medal when Mathieu Arzeno, a former Junior WRC contender, beat Spain’s Pepe Lopez and Estonian’s

Georg Linnamae.

Arzeno was in front after 13 Tarmac stages around the SainteBaum­e mountain region in southern France, but had to win the Paul Ricard superspeci­al on Saturday evening to take gold, a feat he achieved by 5.1 seconds ahead of Lopez. Linnamae was 4.3s further back alongside Welsh co-driver

James Morgan.

Oliver Mellors, co-driven by Ian Windress, was 10th for Team UK. Brothers Steve and Tim Jones took fifth in the

Historic class in a Chrysler Sunbeam.
