MED 48 Sponsor of Romain Dumas on European championship

At the end of the Rally Germany, part of the World Rally Championship, Romain Dumas won the third round of the FIA R-GT Cup with his co-driver Denis Giraudet.

At the wheel of his Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0l, entered by the RD Rally Team and sporting a special decoration for the occasion, the driver from Alès set the fastest time on each of the 21 stages. He was in the middle of the WRC2s on the first day and finished the event in 25th place overall.

Romain Dumas shows the competitiveness of his 911 GT3 RS 4,0l !
After a remarkable performance in Ypres, Romain Dumas once again showed the potential of his Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4,0l, developed by RD Limited. He took the lead in the FIA R-GT category from the very first special stage, but for his discovery of the German roads, in the middle of the vineyards, he was not satisfied with dominating the Porsche of François Delecour. He was also in the middle of the WRC2s, regularly finishing in the top 20 overall. A remarkable performance considering the specificities of the course. Making the FIA R-GT category his main objective, Romain concentrated on this mission. He quickly became a solid leader. The advance on his pursuer being large, he limited progressively the risk taking. And if the first day had been pleasant, the second was going to be more difficult, with roads even less adapted to the size of the Porsche. The French driver also lost several minutes following a puncture - which he suffered like many other competitors - and then because of a recalcitrant closure of the front hood. In these conditions, and while the victory in FIA R-GT was promised to him, Romain ensured the final day, keeping the 25th position of the general classification, which would have been synonymous with a Top 10 in WRC2. This was a significant performance, as the German round was very demanding for the mechanics.
