It never was pre-EC membership but it will certainly affect alcohol and tobacco sales in Belgium and France as UK tax will be payable once again for import.
However that won't affect 2017 (and in all probability up to 2020!)
The UK is a member of the EC until it leaves - so no barrier to Ypres in the immediate future.

I have just had a look at the results of Junior ERC - 5 Opel Adams in top 6!

Maybe electric problems. He was not able to restart the car there.

Can anyone explain what 'WRC2 settings' mean? I can imagine different tyres and maybe the car is setup to be a bit more durable?

---

Ok, forget these words. We dont know how "real" was this R5 car. We dont know which fuel they used, which tyres they have used and how often they were changing them...

Strange and dangerous situation, the stewards said they were not allowed the show a yellow flag to warn the other drivers (??). Even when we tried to slow down the drivers the stewards where cursing and swearing at us.

This is rallysport, not circuits. In rally, yellow flag has different meaning than in races (it is same like red flag on circuits).

Are you sure, if you will go out of EU, it will be same for competitors? Ask each owner of Ford rally car. And ask Malcolm how it should affect his business... And we will see, if UK will go out of EU, what will happen with Schengen and other EU things. Maybe there will be again necessary to have ATA Carnet?

1815??? you mean the "United Kingdom of the Netherlands" then... Belgium came in to existance in 1830 with a little help of the French, not the british...
