Robert Kubica crashed out in the penultimate stage of rallye du Var, while leading the event by almost five minutes aboard his Citroën C4 WRC.
The Pole, who recently won rally Como, faced his toughest challenge since coming back to motor racing this year at the last round of the French rally championship.
Kubica was dictating the pace early on, and even pulled a five-minute lead when his main rival Freddy Loix (Peugeot 207 S2000) crashed out in ES7.
But the former F1 driver, who was on his way to an easy win, eventually crashed out in the penultimate stage of the rally. He and co-driver Emanuele Inglesi escaped unhurt of the accident.
Cedric Robert inherited the lead and took win aboard his Peugeot 207 S2000.
