The 2nd stage from the 32nd Rallye National de Charlemagne. The stage is 19.45 km long and contains a loop so we could see the competitors twice (therefore we chose this stage and not the first one as usual :-) )
Results overall top 10:
The stage was won by Stéphane Lefebvre (2, Citroën C3 Rally2), exactly 1 second faster than Sébastien Loeb (1, Volkswagen Polo GTI R5).
Chris Ingram (3, Volkswagen Polo GTI R5) was 3rd on +6.0.
4. Eric Brunson (4, Citroën C3 Rally2) +13.3
5. Marc Amourette (7, Citroën C3 Rally2) +16.4
6. Christophe Wilt (5, Škoda Fabia Rally2 evo) +25.7
7. Melissa Debackere (6, Škoda Fabia R5) +34.2
8. Chris Van Woensel (11, Mitsubishi Lancer WRC 05) +36.8
9. Daniel Harper (12, Mini John Cooper Works WRC) +40.1
10. Sébastien Alemany (19, Škoda Fabia R5) +41.8
Loeb had won the opening stage with 0.1 second advantage on Lefebvre, so now Lefebvre is leading with 0.9 seconds. Ingram is now on +7.2 seconds overall. He apparently lost some time in a chicane.
On SS3 though, Lefebvre had a mechanical issue (broken driveshaft) and finished on +15.3, so after the first round Loeb has a 7.3 second lead on Ingram, Lefebvre follows on +14.5.
The driveshaft from Lefebvre was repaired in the service so he could continue competing on SS4.

There were 2 gaps in the stage, the first one because Sébastien Sturbois (14, Toyota Corolla WRC) had catched fire in his 2nd loop (he is 1 time in the video). The 2nd pause was because Fabien Moreau (83, Renault Clio R3) had an accident and was on his roof at the finish.
VHC top 5:
1. Benjamin Mellors (209, Toyota Celica 2000 GT (RA40)) completed in 11:15.9
2. Arnaud Choquet (202, Ford Escort RS 1800 MKII) +9.1
3. Jean-Louis De Roeck (205, BMW E30 M3 Gr. A) +13.4
4. Benoît Boulanger (204, BMW E30 M3 Gr. A) +15.8
5. Christophe Bricout (206, Porsche 964 Carrera 2) +24.6
Mellors is leading with 11.5 seconds advantage on Choquet; Boulanger is 3rd on +12.4.
On the 3rd stage however, Mellors went off, he had some damage but could continue, although he finished on +1:01.0 after Choquet and fell to P4. Choquet leads after the first round, 3.3 seconds before Boulanger and 6.2 before De Roeck. (Mellors is now on +49.5).

We are back home, we will not visit the second day of this rally. After this stage we went to the autograph session (which was a big disappointment really, the drivers had over an hour delay and we didnt' manage to get any autograph...) and missed the historics on SS6, but we were literally just in time for the modern rally.
Enjoy the video! :-)
