Surprised at Lappi going off - he needed a result here to give him 4 rallies in the first half of the season. But with Breen's problems it looks like 3 will be enough ...
Breen SS13 "Problems with handbrake and no front-wheel drive"
Unbelievable rally for Breen, never seen so many problems with a car on one event ! :crazy:
yesterday we talked about the risks about differential problems when continue with flat tyre.Quote:

"The stage went well, but I hear something (in the engine) I have to check what it is..."
"FLASH: Kevin Abbring out of the race due to technical problems on the french stage (Rally Radio 107.4)"
no luck at all this guy.Pitty ,all the year he is fast at any surface and with no mistakes.
#!%&!
I don't know what to say... :(
Kevin ABBRING (PEUGEOT)
"We won 2 stages again already in the first loop was promising. I do not know what to say. We were so close for the victory and we cannot finish it. I think we have a mechanical failure. I contacted the team and together we decide to stop. I hope the people appreciate what I did this weekend, I think we deserved the victory."
208T16 seems to be jinxed... :(
oh come on, no :( still waiting for the victory he deserves...Quote:

I'm sorry for Abbring, he certainly deserves a victory.. although I am not sure he could beat Loix here without the top speed advantage of the 208.
Surely anyone in the market for an R5 car right now will buy a Fiesta, or wait for the Skoda :/
and Breen stopped and also game over.
Also Wiegand problems?
Breen finally out this time.
What a nightmare event for him and Peugeot.
Consani escape from fire.Very dangerous!

Tsjoen on-board fire also...

Simpson also off... but fans got him going again.
"It got me, Ypres bit me good and proper. We were going far too quick and we went far too wide and slide off. That's Belgium, we live to fight another day..."

The car was full of smoke inside and he was still driving,the co-driver was intimidated and the driver was not stopping.i think the driver didn't act properly,actually i believe he acted irresponsible.Quote:

The rear of the car was burned.. probably oil from the transmission and burning plasticQuote:

of course after all these problems,i will not believe Peugeot sports announcements.
Looks like Peugeot can write off ERC-championship this year - not good for the competition, too.Quote:
