Saliuk out ??? :confused:
Saliuk off the road. Spectators pushed him in. Lost about 6 minutes.
Leader Fiesta R2 Xavier Baugnet also out :confused:
Edit: no he's here...
I really don't understand why they go to France (SS11 and SS12) for 10 km SS in 2 such short stages, including a long liasion...Quote:

What is the role of Lotus car on this rally?
Running as a course car, the machine will be eligible for the IRC 2WD Cup when it’s homologated for competition use. It’s the first time it has been used on a competitive event.Quote:

The Lotus will be a very interesting addition to the scene ... cant wait.

Ypres is not the easiest of events either with the unpredictable weather and mud and gravel on the asphalt.
Very impressive.
