Paul and Adèle Dachicourt, Digi Mart USA News (northern France): The Dachicourt siblings, originally from northern France, have won the Clio Trophy France title this season, taking the Junior and Overall championship after victories at the Rallye Vosges Grand Est, the Rallye Mont-Blanc Morzine and the Rallye Cœur de France Centre Val de Loire.
The title opens the door to an official Alpine Racing program for the next season, where they will succeed Lucas Zielinski and Ewen Leenhardt, the 2025 Junior winners. The exact details of their 2027 sporting program are not yet known.
Paul and Adèle will make their first appearance in four-wheel-drive machinery this weekend, driving a Renault Clio Rally3 for the Fun Meca Sport team on the Rallye Terre de Vaucluse, the final round of the Championnat de France des Rallyes Terre. Arthur Pelamourgues and Bastien Pouget, the 2024 winners, made their first gravel rally in the same car before moving to WRC3 the following season.
Paul Dachicourt began rallying in 2021, co-driven by his father Laurent in a Peugeot 306 S16 and later a 208 R2, earning several class successes at regional and national events in northern France. Adèle joined him in the French Rally Championship in 2023 in the Peugeot 208 R2 as part of the Michelin Amateurs Trophy.
The siblings first competed in the Clio Trophy France in 2024 and contested the full season in 2025, with a best result of fifth at the Rallye Rouergue Rodez Aveyron Occitanie. They won the Rally5 class early in 2026 at the Rallye du Marquenterre and went on to clinch the title at the Critérium des Cévennes.
