And thank you too, Wim :)

Wim_Impreza: I know but since there is good entry every year, I mentioned the results...

Very bad news abouth the dead :(

Sorry Mirek, I understood it wrong. I know now what you mean. Results are always in this bad form for a provincial and regional rally in the French part of Belgium.

I read official statement and it was very strange accident. They say Huzing hit electrical pole and the wires fell on the ground. The voltage in the ground than killed the spectator. I wonder how it could happen because braking of one pole can't cause the fall of wires on the ground. Their either stay in the air or brake themsleves...

The man who is dead was a rallydriver who spectated the rally. His name is Stéphane Lucchese. He should drive a Renault Clio R3 this season...

Very bad news

Here you can see some photos of the past from Stéphane Lucchese: http://www.stephanelucchese.com R.I.P.

Melissa Debackere won the Rallye des Routes du Nord in front of Bernard Munster and Sebastian Ling... :)

Superb 4th place for Claudie Tanghe for the first time in a C2 R2 :up:

Retirement for Dominique Bruyneel who was fighting with Munster for the 2nd place overall(mechanical in penultimate stage) :(

Tom could you post some pics from Routes du Nord?

R.I.P. Stephane Lucchesse

I was standing on the other side of the road when the accident happened.
The wires fell on the ground with the pole. Stephane Lucchese was holding an umbrella which might be the cause of his death as the voltage went through it. Sudden death apparently.
Sad day.

Realy terrible venture :(

R.I.P Stephane!

Claudie Tanghe drove already last year in TAC Rally and in a small regional rally the C2 R2 Max.

Thank you for the pics, tolis11.

There was a rumour of a Greek driver , maybe Hatzitsopanis, participating in Olympiako (not Olympiakos) rally with 207 S2000. But atsiotras79 told me that it is likely to run with an Evo 9 . (UNFORTUNATELY) :( :( :( :(

Some more pics from Joensuu, Finland. Enjoy!

No Peugeot Hellas team in the Greek championship anymore?

Rali da Camacha, Madeira. Camacho won all 9 stages, Nunes was 9x second. 21 cars in finish compared to 12 on Portugal Torrié...

1. Camacho (207 S2000)
2. Nunes (207 S2000) +38,4
3. Freitas (Clio S1600) +2:23,4
4. S. Sousa (206 S1600) +2:49,1
5. Pinto (Evo 9) +2:55,5
6. J. Magalhaes (Evo 9) +3:04,6
7. Silva (Clio R3) +3:04,8
8. Abreu (206 S1600) +4:10,7

Torrié is harder for machanical parts as it's a rough gravel event, Mirek, logically the retirements are more important than on tarmac of Camacha ;)

Yes, I know but Torrié is Portugal champ but Camacha only Madeiran. Madeira is veeeery small compared to Portugal land ;)

No, since the end of 2007!

Romanian Adrian Raspopa will probably use Punto S2000 from JM Engineering.
