I enjoy my first Omloop :)
As always as I go to Belgium, rally is really good there. And not only competitors, but too the welcome of spectators. Not as in France ...
Impressed by the Fiesta R200. More power than Fiesta R2, quite good car ! And Tanghe pushed, as always :)
Cherain crazy with the Fiesta R5. Loix is Loix, always good ...
Great Ten Brinke too, he seems he didn't lost too much in a year.
Only one disappointment : never see the sun :(
Just reed that an helicopter crashed and two people died :( with a father of a rally driver inside ?
RIP :(
Sadly yes a very tragic story..Quote:

Young French rallytalent Axel Garcia will start at our East Belgian Rally with a factory Renault Clio R3t!! :D
So,title for Freddy.i saw throughout the year Kris was the incontestable dominant of the series in Belgium,but Freddy took the tittle,i suppose wrcars are not eligible for Belgium championsip.right?
Freddy took the title? I thought there were still two rounds to go in the championship?Quote:

I believe Princen and his codriver Kaspers just wanted to drive a WRC and didn't really care about the championship.
REALLY STRANGE RULE.first time i hear such a thing.thanks for the information!so typically wrcars are eligible but essentially are not.
Thank you for the explanation, well that's too bad, I was thinking we could have had a nice fight until Condroz, but I was looking just as results and not at classifications.Quote:

This has been used in Germany (DRM) as well. All in all I think this rule has not done any damage to the championship. Projects like Loix-Skoda and Tsjoen-Peugeot are made possible by this. Also the fights for victories were much more exciting this year than during years when WRC scored for the championship. There was usually only one very good driver with the best car, like Tsjoen-Focus/C4 or Loix-Focus.Quote:

Cherain does not have that much experience with this kind of car yet, he's building it, and Kobus has an older generation car and the Kumho tyres. On top of that you must know that Freddy Loix is driving some top-rallycar (WRC/S2000/R5) almost every week, as testing driver for Michelin and Skoda Motorsport.
Anyway, tomorrow there is the East Belgian Rally. Great entry-list considering the championship-fight is over and considering the region (only very few BRC-drivers are from the region). Of course there is Thierry Neuville, but there are more R5 (Cherain-Fiesta, Tsjoen-208, Swaanen-Fiesta, Verschueren-DS3, Serderidis-Fiesta), S2000 (Kobus) and WRC cars (Princen, Van Woensel, De Jong, Martin) and some GT's, Group N's (with a surprising appearance of Vanden Heuvel) etc.. ;) http://login.webpartner.be/pages/19/..._Nationaal.pdf - Here's the list. Also interesting to see Sander Parn preparing his Rallye de France here.
Live results can be found here: http://www.tac-results.be/index.php/...fter_ss/latest first stage starts tomorrow at 9h31 and last stage starts at 21h33, totalling 13 stages (153km SS).
Really bad time for Thierry Neuville on SS1 East Belgian Rally(+5' lost over Cédric Chérain first leader) :confused:
Neuville won second stage so it was probably some off or something. Anyway again fantastic time by Stephan Hermann on SS1!
After SS2 Neuville leading with 22" advantage, it was simply a timing/GPS problem on SS1 ;)
Sander Pärn is completely off the pace in R2 on this event, unlike in WRC where he performs well :confused:
Finish
1. Neuville (i20 WRC) 1:17:35,6
2. Cherain (Fiesta R5) +3:24,7
3. Kobus (Fiesta S2000) +4:59,8
4. Van Woensel (Impreza WRC S5) +5:04,3
5. Verschueren (DS3 R5) +6:03,6
6. Hermann (Punto HGT "Kit Car") +7:48,0 (!)
7. Garcia (Clio R3T) +8:21,0
8. Snijers (BMW 130i) +8:38,5
9. De Ridder (Evo IX gr.N) +8:59,5
10. Burton (DS3 R3T) +9:10,7
Does anyone know what happened to Princen?
