This weekend we had the Legend Boucles de Bastogne, already quite well known historic rally. Officially not a rally, but for each stage they give an "ideal time", if you are slower you get penalty points, the one with the least points wins... Bryan Bouffier won the event with an Escort MK2. He was the first foreign driver in 24 years to win the Boucles... :) Duval finished second, after having a puncture.

Freddy Loix protege Achiel Boxoen got dropped by Skoda Belgium as official driver, since a certain sponsor left. Skoda BE will continue Belgian rallysport, but the project with Achiel is over...

1st round of BRC in Landen next Saturday. Interesting list in the R5 category. Quite poor further down the list.
I'll be spectating.

Wow! Sebastian Bedoret with Puegeot 208 T16. He was so bad in Junior ERC last year. Will he be able to handle such car?

Cracco livery is only 1 of the entries to a competition I think.
Bedoret actually was really quick in Belgium in the 2nd half of the year, dominating R2. I'm curious to see how he will do with the R5. He is doing a full season.

So, first round of the Belgian championship was dry, but very cold. I went spectating anyway! :)
Princen won with 1.2s on Verschueren, after Verschueren got a 30" penalty for not following the roadbook and cutting the stage. De Mevius was 3th and was never far off the leaders, good rally for him. Cherain crashed at the end of the 4th stage, which is probably bad news for his championship already. He was planning to do 6 events which is also the number of results that count for the championship.

Ole Christian Veiby will start in Ypres Rally. Neuville, possibly some other Hyundai works driver(s), Abbring, British and Belgian Rally Championship contenders will be there too. Still a couple of months to go, but looks very promising already.
