Renault 5 Turbo 1 (7x6)

Air date: May 12, 2022

François Allain welcomes two rally legends: Jean Ragnotti and Sébastien Loeb. The expert tackles an icon of French motorsport: the R5 Turbo 1, a competitor born with a central rear Cléon-Fonte engine and a devastating look. A friend entrusted it to him, with a mission: to restore it to stock condition. The name Jean Ragnotti is inseparable from the R5, the racing car with which he swept everything in the 80s. François Allain also has a date with the greatest driver in the history of rallying: Sébastien Loeb. It is on his secondary lands, in Sainte-Maxime in the Var, that the nine-time world champion invited him for a muscular ride in the R5 Turbo.
