KCMG Driver Development Project (KCMG-DDP) member Pablo Sarrazin put in an incredible performance on his gravel rally debut at the Rallye de Causses, taking victory in the two-wheel drive category.
Sarrazin competed in the event to prepare for upcoming gravel rounds in the Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup France, and showed excellent speed immediately. Staying focused on the loose, unfamiliar surface, the French teenager secured a comfortable victory alongside co-driver Geoffrey Combe, with a winning margin of over 30 seconds in the #68 Peugeot 208 Rally4.
Sarrazin will return to Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup France action next weekend, with the tarmac Rallye Rhône Charbonnières on 18-20 April.
PABLO SARRAZIN
“I’m so happy to take my first rally victory alongside Geoffrey! It’s always a proud moment to represent KCMG and I’m delighted to take a win with the team. We’ve gained a lot of experience this year, but the gravel surface took some getting used to. The car felt good and we’ll be looking to replicate this performance throughout the season, starting at the Rallye Rhône Charbonnières later this month.”
GEOFFREY COMBE CO-DRIVER
“We had a very strong weekend, with no mistakes, allowing us to take victory in the two-wheel drive class. It’s amazing to win in our first event on gravel. A huge thanks to KCMG for their support and to the Sarrazin Motorsport team for the hard work!”
PAUL IP KCMG FOUNDER
“It’s a pleasure to see Pablo win his first ever rally on gravel. He showed impressive speed and maturity throughout, and the team did a great job to prepare the car perfectly. A big congrats to Pablo, he’s had a strong start to the season and we’re looking forward to seeing him back in action in the Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup France later this month.”
