Event resumes with traditional and new elements

The Critérium des Cévennes is set to resume its traditions while introducing several new elements. This historic event of the French Rally Championship will take place from Thursday, October 22, to Sunday, October 25, gathering crews on a course of 669.39 kilometers, including 201.82 kilometers of timed sections.

Return of key stages

This edition will notably mark the return of the La Cadière special stage, held on Friday, October 23, as well as the Nuit des Cévennes. These additions aim to revive classic elements of the rally while maintaining its competitive spirit.

Challenging new special stage

On Saturday, drivers will face one of the main challenges of the rally: the "5 Cols" special stage, 53.58 kilometers long between Saint-André-de-Valborgne and Sumène. Organizers describe it as the longest asphalt special stage in the world, testing both skill and vehicle performance.

Electric cars make debut

Another novelty is the appearance of electric cars with ten crews participating in the Trophée Alpine A290 Rallye. This marks a step toward incorporating more sustainable technologies into the event, reflecting broader trends in motorsport.

Ganges returns as host

Ganges will also welcome the Critérium, after more than twenty years of absence. Technical inspections will be organized in the city center, and a start podium will be set up, highlighting the town's renewed role in the rally's history.
