Amazing event! And a nice drive from 'le Patron'. Maybe he should get the 3rd Cit whell at some WRC events...;)
If I'm not mistaken it's very same place and very same situation like in 2013! It was Grooten that time...Quote:

Last year it was also once very close with some R2 going among the people after a jump. Really crazy dangerous event.
Great rally @ Huy this weekend, but with the typical problems about safety/traffic. The organisation doesn't seem motivated to fix this problems, this is probably the biggest problem.
Great speed from Princen. Unfortunately he loses a lot off time at the end of day 1.

Good win for Cherain, no big mistakes, good job.

Bonjean is not the fastest driver, but i saw some great stuff from him.

De Cecco fastest in RC4

Too bad Matton gets problems with his gearbox, and the fight for the 3° place was over.

Kortrijk was very nice and very difficult rally. I really liked it!
Any more events planned in Belgium next year? Kortrijk is a small but well-organized event. I didn't watch the stages as the weather was too awful, only visited the service park on saturday. I've had enough rain in Wales for the next 5 years I think. :DQuote:

As you can see, we had a really good year in Belgium, I hope this will continue in the future!

According to AUTOnews magazine (http://www.autonews-magazine.com/blog/?p=44168 ) WRC cars are (almost) banned for next year's BRC. It's known that organizers of some events didn't agree with banning the cars completely, so the RACB (federation) didn't ban them. Now they made some new rules... 1.6T WRC cars have to drive a 30mm restrictor (so they're like RRC used to be until now). Also for 2.0 WRC cars (they are still allowed) there shall be a rule making it forbidden to drive one if you have won a BRC rally in the past. In my country people like to make simple things complicated (not only for rallying), for me personally WRC cars should have been forbidden since 2007 or 2008 already, when the first S2000 cars were available.
2016 should e a good year for the Belgian Championship, with programs for Loix (Fabia R5 by 2C Compétition, not with BMA), Verschueren (Fabia R5), Princen (208 R5), Citroën Belgium driver (Dilley?), Van Rompuy (DS3 R5) and Serderidis (DS3 R5).
And partial programs for others for sure, like Tanghe (3 rally's in Fiesta R5).
why Loix parted ways with BMA?Quote:

Thanks to all the testing work it's a good opportunity for Freddy and 2C to gather experience with the car. Logically it's more difficult to take anything from those tests to another team, apart from what you can remember as a driver.Quote:

Then you are not just a customer, you are somehow sponsored by them. I think it can be a bit more complex situation when things are not going like the driver/codriver and other sponsors want things to go. In normal conditions (which is not losing money on your business) I think it's very difficult for a team from Southern France to be (a lot) cheaper than BMA and still deliver a decent Fabia R5 and service like BMA did.Quote:

Design for the DS3 R5 of Van Rompuy, who will compete in the BRC.
Haspengouw rally will open the 2016 season on the 27th of february. Two DS3 R5 on the list for far: Bob de Jong and Steveny. Several other R5's are expected.
To follow the entries:

There should be at least 8 R5s doing the full championship, with several others on a limited program. We might have 10 R5 cars on every round, that would be awesome for a small country like Belgium! :)

Full entrylist for Haspengouw Rally, first rally of the Belgian Championship:
http://trch.be/index.php/deelnemers/startlijst
Vanwoensel is the top favorite with the only WRC car, a Lancer 05.
There are 10 R5 cars:
Loix (Fabia), Princen (208) and Cherain (Fiesta) will be the main challengers for Vanwoensel. It should be interesting to watch the differences between the 3 cars on tarmac, the drivers are quite evenly matched.
Demaerschalk (DS3) should be fast if he will start (not sure if car will be ready).
Verschueren (Fabia) uses his new car for the first time, he will need some time to get use to it.
De Jongh, Steveny, Serderidis, Van Rompuy (DS3), Benoit (Fiesta) are the other R5 cars.
There is a Mini WRC at the start too, but with an RRC restrictor and in RC2. That is a new (and very strange) rule this year, to prevent an easy win with a WRC1.6.
Junior championship will not be very interesting this year (as boring as last year probably).
Historic is better, with several "new generation" historics coming the next rallies: Legacy's, Celica, Sierra, M3 E30, Mazda 323 etc...
Finally there is BMW Cup on selected rounds and there is also a sort of "second division" championship on the same rallies.
Any normal link to Haspengouw results? The official results page is a total mess.
So it seems to be working again now.

Nice fight again between Loix and Princen, just 1.1 between them after 7 stages (of which 1 was cancelled). Van Woensel just in front in the Lancer WRC.
