Clio Ice Trophy

Antonio Otero (Puzzle Motor) successfully defended his crown to become the first repeat winner in the Clio Ice Trophy. The Spaniard led the field going into the final round at the Pas de la Casa Circuit, scoring maximum intermediate points in qualifying before losing out to Romain Di-Fante (WRM/SRD), winner of the inaugural season, and Jérémy Prat (Team Dufas) in the A Final. However, this performance gave him an irreversible lead over Baptiste Panissié (WRM/SRD), runner-up in Final B behind Gustavo Castro (Puzzle Motor). 16-year-old Argentinean Juan Manuel Grigera (Driveland) finished third place overall.

Antonio Otero: "I am delighted to retain my Clio Ice Trophy title. I want to thank my Puzzle Motor team for their excellent work, my family for their support and Renault Group España for organising this fantastic trophy. See you in 2026!"

And elsewhere

Less than two weeks before Rally Sweden in the FIA World Rally Championship, Clio Rally3 claimed a double podium finish in the SM2 class on the Arctic Lapland Rally with Ville Vatanen - Jarno Ottman and Pekka Keski-Korsu - Antti Haapala. In France, Clio Rally3 scored a class win and an outright podium result with Arnaud Gautier and Édouard Dubos on the Rallye des Routes du Nord, while Sébastien and Emma Alemany were also victorious in their Clio Rally5. The two models also impressed on the Rallye Pays des Maures, where the duos of David Sauvaigo - Florian Chardon and Allan Delplanque - Evaelle Nas de Tourris won.
