On Reninge there seems to be an ambulance on the stage...
Kevin lost 2.8 seconds on stage 19.
Cant believe Ingram is out... cruel.
so 4,1 sec the difference with 1 stage to go.
Timing is completely broken. Frustrating.
So 4,1secs going into the last stage... like Snijers and Weber many years ago :D
Edit: oops, is was Tabaton :-)
According to Kevin stage 19 suits his car the least. 4.1 seconds should just be enough.
have we got any time? official timing fucked again
Abbring was 0,5 faster at our place.
at first loop at this stage they were almost equal,0,8 faster was Bouffier
first 2 crews must have finished.Any times?
Abbring wins!!!
I am going to drink, bye guys!
Abbring 3.9 faster than Bouffier and wins! Some rally!
Abbring 3.9 faster and won. Congrats,when asked he was faster from Bouffier.
And Verschueren lost the podium!
so 208 wins after a trouble free rally,and Abbring,the driver that had so many retirements.
the irony is that he had a trouble free rally.Quote:

Kobus passed Basso at last stage too
Yes, finally some luck for him with the 208.Quote:

Cronin home safely to win the MSA-BRC in the M-Sport Fiesta. His first win of the season.

Who except Eightgear would bet on Peugeot before the start? It was supposed that Hyundai may steal the victory from Škoda after seven years of the Green hegemony but in the end the underdog celebrates. Great rally!
Every (sick) dog has it's day !

I'll say one thing for the Peugeot, it's always sounded the best of the R5's.
Keith Cronin, Ypres Rally winner, said:
“It’s fantastic to finally get a win this season. The stage times were good on Friday and today was a different rally, we had to control the pace from the front. Ypres is a great event, the atmosphere and fans make it a special place, it was right for the BRC to come here.”
Abbring was cearly faster at leg 2 with longer gearing.Right decision.
Was gone all day... Just came back.
I think it is fair to say that this is likely the last big rally the poor 208 will ever win...
Not just Peugeot but also Abbring.. this time it was his Hyundai ex-teammate who crashed.Quote:

Congrats to Abbring, Tsjoen and DG Sport. Nice to see that a well prepared 208 can still win major events.

Had a very nice rally this year again. Spent a lot of time on the stages with mousti, tommeke_b, Mirek and wwbroe :)
Disappointed in Neuville though. Only on shakedown he looked really quick, didn't saw anything special from him during the rally. And he crashed on what is one of the best known difficult places of the rally.
Bouffier really quick and crazy, Abbring (what on onboard of last stage :o ), Verschueren en Princen again very fast and matched each other.
The brits were certainly a welcome addition (much better than the foreign drivers in ERC). Cronin fast without taking any risks, the rest (certainky Ahlin) were a bit more crazy. Also R2 guys were fun to watch. I think a lot of the brits underestimated the Ypres roads :)
Skoda Belgium chose this guy to replace Freddy Loix. Doesn't look fast at all...
