Brilliant weekend, never disappoints. Atmosphere and the way the rally takes over the historic town of Ypres is something every rally fan should experience.
Even found some spots without mega taped junctions for some pics:

The thing is, the historic rally is totally different from the IRC rally!! They only use the same stages but a different route, service park etc. for the weekend. Even the organisation is different. This can explain why the Historic rally, sadly, didnt had the same level of interest.Quote:

Everything was OK to host a WRC round except the service park which was "too small" and had to be re-located to more "open-space" kind of place. The organisation decided to refuse the WRC to keep the service park on the "Grote Markt" which, i believe, give the rally a really unique atmosphere!Quote:

Flodin was impressive too! I expected him to be much further considering it was his first event in the car on tarmac
Van Den Heuvel was flying! Guted for his transmissions issues :/
Arzeno, Guilbert, Demaerschalk are all crazy!!! On the SS3 i was in a fast left with a compression followed by a very fast right! The 3 of them cut the corner most than the other, Arzeno going the deeper which send him flying (litterally, the 4 wheels were in the air) to the other side of the road... I have no idea how he managed to keep the car on the road... But as expected, all 3 of them made sure their teams' mechanics wont be bored for the next few weeks...
