10 days before East Belgian Rally.
Entry list growing up with guys like Tidemand :up:
R2 will be the category to follow once again.
http://www.tieltseautomobielclub.be/form/list.php?t=nat
Yes, the junior championship is definitely the best decision taken in years. A lot of junior-drivers, but also not-junior drivers who want to measure themselves with equal machinery. Boon is on the list without a car yet... I think every driver wants to be in a 208 R2 at this point. :) Condroz will be even better with the French 208 cup with guys like Arzeno, Abbring, Lefebvre etc joining.
Some first news and (normally very reliable) rumors about the 40th Rallye du Condroz. The rally will have it's shakedown on Friday morning, in Marchin (where a stage used to be), from 8 to 12h. At 15h there is a first show stage, in Ben-Ahin (well-known stage that has been used every time since... ever I think). Saturday the rally will continue with 2 loops of 8 stages (the cars probably return to service halfway the loop). Sunday the rally continues with 2 loops of 5 stages, first stage would be at 7h36 in the morning! So it makes a total of 27 stages, "only" 265km SS (some stages used to be longer but they often split them in seperate stages to keep some important roads open for traffic). The first and the last stage of the rally should be transmitted live on (local) TV, for the people of the forum I hope there will be some live-stream, but that's very unsure.
Peugeot and Total have been the major sponsor in Rallye du Condroz for years. And some rumors said (and I wouldn't be surprised) that a Peugeot 208 R5 would be 0-car. In the past (2006) Bouffier was driving a 207 S2000 as 0-car... :)
Thierry Neuville + Fiesta R2 at East Belgian Rally next week. Exciting rally ahead!

Seeded entry list of East Belgian Rally. Sadly without Loix, but maybe now a more open battle with WRC's and S2000's + GR A cars. And for sure the R2 battle will be again great, Boon in a 208 now, Cherain coming from the 208 cup in France and offcourse 2nd in WRC standings, Neuville in Fiesta R2! Oh yeah also not forgetting Pontus Tidemand, improved alot this year + has experience from last year.

I've read on another forum(french)that Vincent Verschuren, cuurently driving a VW Polo S2000 would drive a Citroën DS3 "R5" in 2014 :eek: :confused:
Where's Thierry Neuville on SS3 East Belgian Rally :confused:
Nice fightback from Hermen Kobus! Taking 2nd place on the last stage by 0.4 seconds after losing a lot of time on SS1.
Final results
1. Snijers (Porsche 911 GT3) 1:25:05,3
2. Kobus (Fiesta S2000) +17,9 (lost 35 seconds on SS1)
3. Van Woensel (Impreza WRC S5) +18,3
4. Verschueren (Polo S2000) +1:28,3
5. Martin (Evo IX) +1:44,7
6. Burton (DS3 R3) +1:53,0
7. Cherain (208 R2) +2:55,4
8. Van Parijs (Porsche 911 GT3) +3:07,8
9. Hermann (Punto HGT) +3:29,1
10. Boon (208 R2) +3:42,5
11. Neuville (Fiesta R2) +4:00,2
12. Debackere (Celica GT4) +4:10,1
13. Van der Marel (Fiesta R2) +5:11,6
14. Geusens (C2 R2) +5:54,9
15. Pyck (Evo IX) +6:21,0
What happened to Pontus Tidemand? He was setting times almost equal to Thierry Neuville...
?euville 1,5 min slower from Cherain?
Engine broken according to PT on Twitter. He was 7 secs ahead of Neuville after 7 stages and fastest Fiesta R2. Obviously they just compared to themselves leaving out the Peugeots 208 which seems to be quite much faster than Fiesta R2: s at the moment.

I must say that Neuville was very impressive, especially when you know that his Fiesta is certainly not the best one around. Also Tindemand was very nice to watch and also very fast, he was in front of Thierry, but Thierry lost about ten seconds compared to Pontus on stage 3, but i don't know why.
Overall very nice rally with the most beatifull roads of Belgium and a deserved win for good old Patrick Snijers, alltough Kobus was maybe the fastest driver in the rally, but he lost about half a minute on first stage with a mistake at the end of the stage. Also Sturbois was going very well, but went of the road on stage 11.
Battle between Pugs 208 R2 was very nice to watch but it must be said that Cherain was very fast right away. Someone that i need to mention is Stephane Hermann who was driving incredible with his old Fiat Punto Kitcar, very very impressive, not only for show but also stagetimes very impressive. ;)

Really enjoyed my day, driver of the rally was Kobus for me, incredibly commited! Also Snijers, Sturbois, Verschueren, Debackere (although times weren't good), Cherain, Tidemand, Neuville, Hermann, Bodson were nice to watch and I certainly forget some names!
Pictures are online on http://www.facebook.com/tacrally, I can't link my pictures as they are to big...

Seen a great event as well. Great battle overall and great commitment from FWD drivers like Burton, Hermann, Cherain, Tidemand, Van der Marel, Geusens and many other R2-drivers. :)

(Can't link any photos here since the new forum does not allow photos bigger than the size of an average photo 10 years ago.)
Nice rally,
was Tidemand testing Hankook for France?
What spec is Snijers Porsche?
On twitter, he said something he tested tyres for France during the last 5 stages, so the fight with Neuville was over.
Snijers Porsche is a GT+, comparable to the one of Nantet I think.
