From rally stages to endurance racing circuits, September and October have delivered plenty to celebrate for drivers and teams competing in RRS racewear. With victories at Rallye des Cardabelles and Mayenne, a European championship title for Vortex in the 24H Series, and vice-champion honours in the European Le Mans Series, our ambassadors have been delivering results across a wide range of motorsport disciplines.

Here's a look back at the latest performances from the drivers and teams wearing RRS FIA-approved racewear.

Mattéo Chatillon Wins Rallye des Cardabelles

Mattéo Chatillon and co-driver Maxence Cornuau secured an impressive victory at Rallye des Cardabelles in their Škoda Fabia RS Rally2.

Back on familiar ground in the Aveyron region, the pairing took the lead from Special Stage 5 and held it through to SS10, eventually winning by 21.5 seconds over Sarah Rumeau, who had already secured the French Gravel Rally Championship title.

It was a controlled performance on demanding gravel stages, with Chatillon and Cornuau competing in RRS PROLIGHT racewear and base layers homologated to FIA 8856-2018.

Their 2026 WRC2 campaign has also delivered valuable experience and championship points, including an eighth-place WRC2 finish in Portugal, their best result of the season, alongside points-scoring performances in Sweden and Greece.

TDS Finishes ELMS Season as PRO-AM Vice-Champion

The European Le Mans Series season concluded at Portimão with TDS Racing finishing as LMP2 PRO-AM vice-champion.

There was further success for Forestier Racing by Panis, prepared by TDS, which finished fourth overall in LMP2 and secured an invitation to the 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans through its vice-champion achievement.

Both teams battled to the finish in RRS PROLIGHT racewear, homologated to FIA 8856-2018.

Julien Fébreau delivered a standout performance at Mayenne in his Peugeot 208 WRX, run by DA Racing, during his final weekend of the 2026 season.

Fébreau set the fastest time in qualifying practice, finished second in the qualifying stages, and then converted his pace into victories in both the semi-final and final.

The result was all the more impressive after the team faced an engine change during the weekend. Fébreau's victory also prevented championship leader Damien Meunier from securing the title before the final round at Dreux.

Competing in RRS PROLIGHT racewear, homologated to FIA 8856-2018, Fébreau signed off his season on a high after the disappointment of Lohéac.
