Princen is still in it as well.
Yes, Princen third, equal time overall as Lefebvre. Good job.

Really great periscope feed at TC before service. Check it
Ogryzek lost his car.

Bloody hell, I hope that's insured. At least the crew were out and well.
:(
Top 6 within 20s after the first 50km. Nice :)
Abbring big crash reported, rolled multiple times... Hope eveybody OK
wow Abbring 0,5sec/km from Breen Bouffier and more from the rest. http://www.petrolheads.gr/images/smi...mooth/hang.gif
nice surprise till now Lefebvre,didn t expect it!
edit i jinxed him...
Damn!
Good that everybody OK! It was nice fight. Luckily only crop and car was damaged. It seems that there are Breen and Bouffier for the top fight. Loix might be a bit too far behind.
Big surprise is King Freddy bein so far down - sell by date has been reached perhaps?
Anyway just get through Mesen and that's a great evening for Breen. The guy is clearly now both quick and consistent
IIRC Lefebvre was quite quick here last year in JERC so maybe not a surprise..Quote:

Tsjoen and Miclotte invited him to drive. Tsjoen has become the co-driver for that car in the Belgian championship after some disappointing results in the first few events (when he was driving himself).Quote:

With the same car in the first round of the Czech Championship Kopecky beat him on every stage. Ok, Kopecky knows the Czech roads better, but this is Ypres and Freddy we are comparing to.Quote:

So either Bouffier will slow down tomorrow or crash...or third possibility is he will use all his luck for 10 years in advance and he will win :DQuote:

Just stage one wasn't smooth, was too busy feeling the car. We need to have a look what exactly happened. Guess our onboard will tell more... Car felt really good and the cooperation with Pieter and the team was just fine! What I do know is that we will be back next year! Thanks to all the spectators for the big support this weekend. You guys were amazing.
Too bad about Abbring.
Glad he's the only big name that retired.
Going tomorrow for the first time in 4 years again!
Maybe Cédric Cherain isn't a big name yet, but he was last year 2nd in Ypres.Quote:

Lefevbre just clocked into Parc Ferme about an hour after everyone else. Any particular reason anyone knows of? I assume they don't have that stupid flexi-service thing in ERC.
Yes there is... ;)Quote:

Even worse (in my opinion) is the fact they can stop the clock if they like, take a coffee break and then go back to it.Quote:

Skoda is disappointment, a bit overhyped IMO, good marketing machine. Still Loix can win this one, there are 4 PSA cars in front of him which don't always last very long unfortunately. I hope one of these 4 win this rally, they all deserve it. I would prefer Princen, but it looks like he is missing some speed.
Casier and Verschueren not bad at all!
What an awesome battle between Dumas and Delecour and also in Junior cup!
I, for one, am glad the Skoda isn't romping away with it! It sounds so much worse than both the S2000 and PSA R5 cars (arguably worse even than the Fiesta R5) and I guess that's why it looks so unspectacular on passes. I can't see this car getting the same love as the previous iteration unless they can do something about that.
On the other hand, Bouffier and Abbring are doing a great job if proving how exciting R5s can be when driven on the edge.
And what about the leader ? is he not on the edge ?Quote:

I think Loix will be stronger today and I don't know if Bouffier will be able to hold it together at the same pace as yesterday. I can see Freddy winning it from here.
