Congrats to Abbring, Tsjoen and DG Sport. Nice to see that a well prepared 208 can still win major events.

Had a very nice rally this year again. Spent a lot of time on the stages with mousti, tommeke_b, Mirek and wwbroe :)
Disappointed in Neuville though. Only on shakedown he looked really quick, didn't saw anything special from him during the rally. And he crashed on what is one of the best known difficult places of the rally.
Bouffier really quick and crazy, Abbring (what on onboard of last stage :o ), Verschueren en Princen again very fast and matched each other.
The brits were certainly a welcome addition (much better than the foreign drivers in ERC). Cronin fast without taking any risks, the rest (certainky Ahlin) were a bit more crazy. Also R2 guys were fun to watch. I think a lot of the brits underestimated the Ypres roads :)
Skoda Belgium chose this guy to replace Freddy Loix. Doesn't look fast at all...
