    OFFICIAL from Peugeotsport Rally Academy: K. Abbring has retired with a broken radiator. The team is not sure if he will restart tomorrow.

    Broke radiator on a jump so not the same problem as in Greece...

    Maybee the few kgs lighter has helped Craig - almost 2 seconds more pulled back on EL on the shortest stage of the day. Should be a great battle tomorrow.
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    Thanks for posting this photo Eddie! I love it! I'm sure the painter in the background is checking if the rear screen is still on Breen's car

    Abbring didn't hit anything. It's same problem like in Acropolis. From what I know Peugeot Sport knows where the problem is, but they can't change it now due to homologation restrictions.

    Rear window breaks due to spoiler mounts hitting it during landing after huge jumps.

    It looks like Abbring can start again tomorrow.

    How are the rules of homologation? When can they fix the known problem?

    Several sources including ‏@Official_iRally state 'Abbring said to have broken radiator over jump'.

    Belgian rally site says: 'A hard landing after a jump ended his rally because of radiator problems'.

    Dont think this was the cause of the radiator problem in Acropolis was it ?
