French Hill Climb Championship: Mickael Bonnevie shines in Bagnols-Sabran
This weekend marked the start of the French Hill Climb Championship on the slopes of Bagnols-Sabran. A look back at the weekend with our driver Mickael Bonnevie.
A Promising Start to the Season
Last weekend marked the launch of the 2026 French Hill Climb Championship on the technical slopes of Bagnols-Sabran. We are proud to support our driver, Mickael Bonnevie, who braved particularly challenging weather conditions.
A Podium Finish After Hard Work
Despite changeable weather that made grip precarious, Mickael demonstrated great skill to bring his Cupra to the top.
He finished this weekend in a solid 3rd place in Group A.While Sunday's performance left a slight feeling of incompleteness compared to the excellent times set during Saturday's practice sessions, the essentials were achieved: valuable points and a podium finish right from the start.
A meteoric rise: -3 seconds
The most positive indicator of this weekend remains the top speed.
By improving his personal best by nearly 3 seconds compared to the previous edition, Mickael confirms that his preparation is paying off."On the positive side, despite everything: an improvement of nearly 3 seconds compared to last year, which validates the progress made.""
Heading to the Cévennes
The season is underway and the pace is picking up. Mickael and his entire team are now focusing on the second round: the legendary Saint-Jean-du-Gard Hill Climb – Col Saint-Pierre.
We will be there to support him in this new challenge in the Cévennes.
Well done, Mickael!
