    In WRC, Spain last year he finished 7th. In November he won Rallye du Var in France.

    I agree he has looked a bit ragged lately. Not sure what the reason is, he used to be pretty reliable for years.

    Good point, he is someone who often seems to have car issues. Which is kinda of similar to those people who have issues with ripping wheels off a lot as they cut things a little too fine.

    But I imagine he feels quite a bit of pressure these days, trying to justify his role with Hyundai and still vying for a full time driving role?

    I have noticed before that when Abbring has shown decent pace on WRC events it has usually been through taking risks with big cuts and using 110% of the road, so often when he does show some speed its no surprise to see him crash or damage the car soon afterwards.

    Should be between Abbring (208 R5), Princen and Verschueren (Fabia R5).
    Allart (Fabia R5), Geussens (Fiesta R5) and Cornelis (DS3 R5) are discovering their cars.
    Debackere (Fabia R5) and Kenis (Mini RRC) are the other top crews.
    So finally no old WRC cars anymore... hoped there would be more R5's now they are gone.

    Princen leads the rally after 8 stages. Verschueren is second and Abbring third, but time differences are not big. 4 stages to go.

    Rally now finished, win for Princen but top three very close!

    Are Skoda Belgium supporting anyone this year after Loix' retirement?
