Claudio Capéo, whose real name is Ruccolo, recently visited Gérardmer, not far from his roots in Mulhouse and Cernay. The singer, famous for his appearance on “The Voice,” felt at home near the lake. He was invited by the organizers of the Vosges Grand Est rally. Capéo, a motorsports enthusiast in his forties, took the opportunity to participate through his friend Joshua Reibel, director of the Ring of the Rhine and his co-pilot for the day, with the support of Karine Hot.

“A different universe”

“This rally is really great, I loved it, I enjoyed myself. It’s a great finding for me, it’s the first time I have done that. I sometimes participated in the Andros trophy, on snow and ice, I do fun cup and cup lamera (endurance race on a circuit), a little motorcycle on a circuit too. The rally is really the first time, it is indeed a particular dimension. We are in nature, we don’t go around in circles, we have to go a little bit, especially since we don’t have a roadbook. We do it like that, just for fun, trying not to break the car. I am in a different universe but I loved being able to ride on a closed road.And above all, I was very impressed by all the public who is there. The weather is nice, there are smiles, everything is perfect. »»

“We sang a bit, it was funny”

“People are nice, we stopped, there were crowd movements, it was funny, we sang a little, it was funny. »»

The Alpine A110 (in double zero) from the Nancy concession, in collaboration with Quentin Gilbert, made quite an impression. “People are nice, we stopped, there were crowd movements, it was funny, we sang a little, it was funny. »»

Claudio Capéo enjoyed driving this “pleasure car,” as many fans call it. “At first, I was not too comfortable with the pallets that do not move. Finally I got used to it and I like it. I think this car adopted me (laughs). She is really nice. »»
