I've always been curious to know the reaction of the owners of the lands in Ypres.

It is all insurance, but I do think they are not always very happy...
Well i ate a lot off sausages and had a lot of fun :).
On friday we did Dikkebus - Langemark (+ historic cars FIA) and Wijtschate. Place in Langemark was really fast (left 6) Abbring/Princen/Loix/Bouffier/Lefebvre did it flat out. In Wijtschate we stood just before the place where Snijers and Serderidis went in a ditch. Strange and dangerous situation, the stewards said they were not allowed the show a yellow flag to warn the other drivers (??). Even when we tried to slow down the drivers the stewards where cursing and swearing at us.

Saturday we did Hollebeke 1 - Westouter/Boeschepe 1 - Hollebeke 2 - Kemmel (historic) - Westouter/Boeschepe 2.
On Westouter/Boeschepe we did two places on the french side. Realy nice and fast places, first place was over crest followed by a fast left. Here Lim (the driver who won a tv show and now drives for Hyundai) almost crashed. He held a wrong driving line before and on the crest. The other place on Westouter was a fast section near the finish between fields of hoppe and a local pub :) here it was quite straight, but really a nice atmosphere. Before hollebeke 2 it rained a bit, so the cuts were not completly dry in places. We went to a fast right (4/5) directly followed by a fast left (4/5) Lefebvre and Verschueren really impressive here.

Wow! This is shocking! I have just realized that both Peugeots 208 T16 (Princen and Snijers), that appeared on the start line, have finished the rally. This is the best result this year:
round 5 Ypres - 2 Pugs at the start line, 2 Pugs at the finish line!
But on the other hand... only 4 out of 8 Citroens DS3 R5 have finished the event.
That's completely correct from them. Yellow flag in rallying has very different meaning than on circuits. It means that the stage is canceled for every crew which is shown the yellow flag and the decision about it is only up to the clerk of the stage. No marshal can decide on his own.
