Duval has done it again... he crashed in SS17.

With such actions Duval is closing personaly the doors at teams&sponsors for a seat in a rally car. There is no excuse (except technical reason) for crashing when you have everything under control.

It was a very rainy day, with los of retirements. Princen and Duval unfortunately went off, so Loix can cruise to another Victory. The title steeds to be decided already...

Lot of mechanical problems for the ds3 r5's. Demaerschalk, Leonard, Scaillet retired, Dilley drove slowly on the last stage.

At the end of the day, quite a poor day of rallying for us...

We also didn't have the best day of rallying this year, probably the worst. Few stages we missed Loix and Duval, some bad spots, only few fast drivers. Not the best Rally Wallonie we went to haha, but Joost his video is pretty decent again

What happened to van Woensel?

Van Woensel retired again with mechanical problems, this time it was the gearbox.

9. Bouvy (997 GT3) +11:17,1
10. Van Rompuy (DS3 R5) +13:32,4

All top four for Škoda, disaster for PSA with the top scoring driver being only 10th overall...

Duval without Evo spec, only Princen had it.
Van Woensel - propshaft
Some cars were slowed down by marshalls after accidents of Princen and Duval, that's why they drowe slow and lost lot of time (then they got notional times). Not best event for PSA cars (4 crashed, rest mechanical), but on the other hand results showed that with good drivers like Princen or Duval they can be faster than Skoda. Duval was driving very fast and went out on well known place.
Loix didn't need to push and he perfectly controlled the situation. Nice fight for 2nd spot.
