I agree Tom. Tsjoen is strange. I will never understand what is the fun and sense of driving a better car than anyone else and cruising to the finish line.Quote:

Because the Belgian Championship still allows top WRC's, his uncle bought this WRC few years ago. You find it more logic to keep it in the garage and not use it because the competition finds it too expensive?Quote:

You can only blame the regulations than blame Tsjoen. And as far as cruising is concerned: it probably looks a lot more easy than it really is. Like his biggest rival Snijers says: only a good car is not enough (he talks about Tsjoen not about himself LOL ;) ).
Btw, at the finish the third Ronde de Vassivières, he shares the lead with Bouffier :)
HaCo, he can sell his Focus WRC and buy S2000. That would be a better decision and more fun (challenge) for the driver.

Tsjoen could drive with the Focus WRC'05. Than we could have very nice battles for the lead with Snijers and van Eldik in the Belgian championship. If Tsjoen wins than again, it should be much more nice victories and people could say that he won also due to talent. Now he has by far the best car and the biggest budget. I don't understand why he didn't want to drive IRC rallies except Ypres with a S2000 car as he has the budget.Quote:

I wouldn't bash him. It's his choice and he can drive whatever he is allowed.Quote:

Mirek: Loix and Snijers are much more popular than Tsjoen, that is true. Tsjoen drives almost never spectacular while Loix and for sure Snijers drives much more spectacular. ;)
urabus: If you had the budget to drive a lot of IRC rounds, some other nice European rallies and your biggest national championship round in the same year, I am almost sure you want to try this and not to drive for the 10th time a full national championship with almost always the same rallies. ;)
