Students Alexandre Brillant and Julien Bance from Avrechy, France, participated in the 2026 4L Trophy rally, driving through Spain and the Moroccan desert in a Renault 4L. During the trip, they faced breakdowns, including replacing shock absorbers and a spark plug failure, as well as the cancellation of the official start due to Storm Pedro. On the return journey in Spain, the head gasket blew, and the car had to be left behind; the students flew back. They plan to arrange the car's return, as they want to keep it as a collector's vehicle.
