1. Freddy Loix/Johan Gitsels (Fabia R5) 1h50'27"5
2. Didier Duquesne/Filip Cuvelier (Fiesta R5) +3'15"4 - best result ever for Duquesne in the BRC.
3. Jourdan Serderidis/Frédéric Miclotte (DS3 WRC) +4'39"4 - best result ever for Serderidis in the BRC, first time in a DS3 WRC.
4. Filip Pyck/Pedro Plancke (Lancer Evo 10) +4'45"5 - winner in Group N.
5. Guillaume Dilley/Louis Louka (DS3 R3T Max) +5'32"7 - winner in 2WD category and 2nd overall in the championship now.
6. Kevin Demaerschalk/Bram Eelbode (DS3 R3T) +5'39"8
7. Tom van Rompuy/Bert Feys (Fiesta R5) +5'40"2 - first time in a R5 car.
8. Bert Coene/Petra de Duytsche (Lancer Evo 10) +7'19"7
9. Tobi Vandenberghe/Bjorn Vanoverschelde (130i) +9'30"9 - winner of the 'M Cup'.
10. Stefaan Stouf/Joris Erard (911 RSR) +9'31"2 - winner 'Historics'.
11. Stephan Hermann/Achim Maraîte (Punto) +9'54"1 - Hermann really deserves a chance with a bigger car, but he lacks budget...
Most important retirements were again for the PSA R5 cars: Kris Princen (208 T16, mechanical), Vincent Verschueren (DS3 R5, oil pressure), Irish driver Stephen Wright (Fiesta R5) and in the Historic class Paul Lietaer (Legacy RS, mechanical).
Loix must only finish in the next BRC round, the East Belgian Rally at the end of this month, to have a 3rd consecutive Belgian title.
Even if he doesn't finish or starts in East Belgian or Condroz, he will be champion. Dilley has to win overall with his DS3 R3 in both East Belgian and Condroz to take the title...
Anyway, it was a interesting start of the rally with scratches from Loix, Princen and Verschueren. Unfortunately, the big fight was over way to soon...
Hopefully, reliability will be better for PSA Cars in East Belgian Rally. Should be a nice entrylist and nice battle there!
Great Entry List for this weekends East Belgian Rally, penultimate round of the Belgian Championship:
4 WRCs: Grooten (C4), Van Woensel (Lancer 05), Allaert (Fabia) and Sturbois (Corolla)
7 R5s: Loix and Kobus (Fabia), Cherain and Verschueren (DS3), Princen (208), Van Rompuy (Fiesta)

RWD: Van Parijs (Porsche) vs the BMWs
FWD: Dilley, Arellano (DS3 R3), Fernémont, Geussens (Fiesta R2t), Wagemans, De Ridder (208 R2) etc.
Should be a close fight at the top on very fast stages!

Loix out with broken gearbox after stage 7... It was a great 3-way fight with Princen and Verschueren, all 3 within about a second overall. Kobus and Allart not far off either in 4 and 5 (now 3 and 4). Good rally.
What did Van Woensel do to lose time? He was right up there as well in the beginning.
They are really pushing on the twisty tarmac roads! You can see it is a close battle!

Back from a great East Belgian Rally. Yesterday we had one of the biggest fights ever in Belgian rallying. On the first 6 stages, 6 different drivers (5 different cars) each set one quickest time (Loix-FabiaR5, Princen-208R5, Verschueren-DS3R5, Kobus-FabiaR5, Van Woensel-LancerWRC, Allart-Fabia WRC). After 6 stages both Loix and Van Woensel retired with mechanical problems, while Allart started losing more and more time. So the battle for the victory continued between Princen, Verschueren and Kobus, it lasted until the very last stage. The difference between 1st and 2nd has never been bigger than 2,3 seconds... Congratulations to Hermen Kobus, well deserved victory, he also proved that the Kumho tyres must be very good, as he was nearly as quick as Loix in the same car, and could beat equally fast Princen-208R5. Verschueren was a nice surprise, in Omloop van Vlaanderen he already set a few fastest stage times, but now he really proved that he has a place among the top drivers in Belgium, it took a long time with the DS3R5, but he's finally there. :) Some photos of the event will follow later.
Really enjoyed the day in Belgium too.
Nice stages, relaxed or no marshalls and a great battle.

Don't ask we who attributed the numbers, but I think he was drunk... very drunk!
That was because of the Dmack Michelins he had on :P
