In Lédenon and Pau-Arnos they won both races while in Lédenon they finished both races in second place. With his passengers Rousseau and Clément, Delannoy became French champion for the fourth time that season in the 1000cc sidecar class.[5][6][7][8] Later that season, Clément also filled in as passenger with Manuel Moreau at Circuit Magny-Cours where they won the first race, and at Circuit Carole in Tremblay-en-France where they finished in second place in the second race.[9] She also drove test and training rides with French 2016 Formula 2 Sidecar champion Estelle Leblond.[note 2][9][10]
