So, this evening starts the 6th round of the belgian championship with 2 stages (in the dark normally). Tomorrow, there are 14 more.
You can follow the rally on http://www.facebook.com/tacrally or on twitter (@TACRally). Updates and some pictures are from mousti and me, but are in dutch. (google translate to the rescue!)
Agree 100% !!! More 911s on rally stages (with fast drivers), more fun for spectators (and ''pain'' for other competitors!!) Go Patric, go.....Quote:

SNIJERS: As Patrick Snijers starts Omloop van Vlaanderen 2013, here’s an interactive tribute to a true rally legend:
Patrick Snijers: perpetual hero - ThingLink
Cédric de Cecco in the lead of GrR/R2 and 11th overall after SS1 Omloop ;)
A small post of first day of Omloop van Vlaanderen, run in the city where I live.
Seen one stage of both historic and modern cars today, was nice. Loix as usual, beating everyone. Kuipers overshot a junction on SS2, which explains his big time loss there. Snijers' GT3 is a very nice car, real proper rally-car, unlike many other GT3's. The engine has 420hp, could be more, but now they made the most efficient mapping (torque curve etc). Also the (Reiger) suspension looks good, very long spring travel for that kind of car, first time I've seen it. Some parts are really lightweight also, like the doors, they are so light that they feel like pieces of plastic when you open/close them. In total the car weighs 150kg less than the 996 GT3 he drove in the past. I'm sure we'll have a lot of pleasure watching him with it in the future. :)
Sad news... Vanneste had a heavy crash on SS2, a lot of damage on the car, both driver and codriver went to hospital for check-up but are OK. Of course, after Ypres (car burned completely) and another nearly written-off car on it's first event, it's not looking good for him.
