Wow! I'm very happy! I'm not sure if you saw it already or not, but Bryan Bouffier managed to win this rally! Excellent job Bryan! Tsjoen went off the road when he was trying to catch the sympathetic Frenchman. Cedric Robert was second.

It sounds like there was some direct fight but although it may look like that from times the reason why they were equal two stages before the accident was that Tsjoen had a puncture on some previous stage. Otherwise he was much faster than Bouffier (which is understandable).Quote:

What happened to Cedric? He was close to Bryan after first day?
He had some problem with right door which were still opened. He drove later with door from standard 207.

It's not the right classification. This is after 2 rallies ;) We still wait for the good classification ... the FFSA isn't fast :(Quote:

oups sorry, it's the good. There was a mistake about the number of rallies by drivers on the website, but not for the points. Sorry :sQuote:

At that time I thought Tsjoen will become another great Belgian driver in ERC or even WRC. I heard that he had plans to compete in European Championship in 2004 in the same team with Bruno Thiry (http://rallyonline.pl:84/ft.php?idg=504&pg_[go]=20). Unfortunately, it didn't work out. I think that since then, Tsjoen's career started to go downhill... :(Quote:

Start first leg Rouergue tomorrow evening(night leg) :)

Robert in wrc :(
I was expecting another fight between him and Bouffier.
Tsjoen has now some opposition and that is also good.
Bouffier went off the road and is out of Rally de Rouergue. He was third before the accident happened. Robert is leading the event, Tsjoen is nearly a minute behind.

Update - Cedric Robert (Pug 307 WRC) wins the rally, 50 seconds before Pieter Tsjoen (Ford Focus WRC). Third is Jean-Michel da Cunha (over 6 mins behind the winner, in another 307 WRC).

Who is Jan Van der Marel ???? :confused:
He has been added to the entrylist of Rallye du Mont-Blanc yesterday(in a Porsche 997 GT3)
I think that he is Dutch gentleman driver, father of promising young driver Timo.
Correct father of TimoQuote:

That is true. Now he drives for his pleasure as he is already 66 years old, but in the past he was multiple Dutch champion and also Dutch Rallysprint champion in 2008.
Looks like Cédric Robert will drive the GPC 207 S2000 in BFGoodrich Trophy at Mont-Blanc...a clear victory for Pieter Tsjoen ??? :mark:
Wow !!!!!! From Rallye du Mont-Blanc entrylist several interesting things: italian driver Marco Blanc in a 207 S2000, return of swiss driver Christian Jacquillard in a Fiesta S2000 recently bought and...Kris Meeke in the DS3 R3 !!!! :eek: :eek:
Looks a fantastic rallye this year(better than previous editions) :cool:
Jacquillard :) An orange Fiesta ? :p
Who is Marco Blanc ? I don't know him :/
Meeke was present last year, wasn't he ? But he had problems ...
Meeke was dominator in S2000 for his first outing in Mont-Blanc :p :
Why not the same in R3 this year ??? :D
