2008 Dany Snobeck, who had last won the Rallye du Var 26 years before, took his second victory in the event and beat out much younger drivers, such as the 25-year-old, Jean-Sébastien Vigion who finished second. The World Rally Champion,
Sébastien Loeb, returned for this event and was third. Both of Snobeck's previous challengers, Eric Brunson and Pieter Tsjoen had retired so Snobeck was sure to win from the get-go.
2009 Sébastien Loeb who recently won the 2009 World Rally Championship won here again in the title-winning
Citroën C4 WRC, but this time co-driven by his wife, Séverine Loeb, for his regular co-driver
Daniel Elena was driving a separate entry. The podium finishers were
Stéphane Sarrazin and Patrick Henry. The Belgian Pieter Tsjoen, who crashed out of last year's rally, led for one stage in his
Ford Focus RS WRC.
2016 In 2016, the 62nd running of this event, Hyundai WRC driver
Kevin Abbring and co-driver
Sebastian Marshall in a
Hyundai i20 WRC won this event, and was the second driver who is not French to win Rallye du Var, after
Latvala's victory in 2011. Second place went to
Yoann Bonato. In third was Sylvain Michel. David Salanon, the winner of last year's rally, suffered bad luck when he had an accident on special stage 10, Pignans, whilst leading, and this allowed Dutchman Abbring to win.
2017 In 2017, Frenchman
David Salanon won the event for the second time, this time partnered with Jérôme Degout, with Sylvain Michel and Yohan Rossel completing the podium.
Sébastien Loeb returned to the event, driving his recently refurbished Formula 2
