Good idea to make this the official thread for the Belgian championship.

Live results first round, East Belgian Rally: http://www.ris-timing.be/rallye/abr/2008/homeresu.htm

Kris Princen, the leader after SS3 in a Lancer Evo 8 Group A, rolled three times on SS4. No injuries.

2 Patrick Snijers (Porsche 911 GT3 - GTP24) +45"3

As we all can see, the GT's are very promising so far. Especially when you know that this is a very technical rally.

Bruno Blaise is as always very fast in his home rally. He is 12th with a Opel Corsa from 1992!

Most important retirements: Kris Princen (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 Group A, rolled on SS4), Andy Lefevere (BMW M3 E46, lost wheel on SS2) and Yannick Bodson (Audi S2 Quattro). Maybe some of them can use the SupeRally tomorrow...

This night and tomorrow, they expect rain. Let's see what the Porsches and the Nissan can do than.

Bruno Blaise is as always very fast in his home rally. He is 12th with a Opel Corsa from 1992!

The man deserves a medal for his spectacular driving.

Yannick Bodson (Audi S2 Quattro).

"Last year I had to retire because I'd forgotten my car's keys at home, it wasn't much better this year. This morning I felt the car constantly steering to the right. It was impossible to drive so we retired after three stages. Then we put the right tyres on the left, and the car steered to the left. Then we fitted four new ones and it went fine. I wonder what I'll do next year to eliminate myself." He didn't seem too bothered though, just kept on laughing with it.

We stood very near at the start of Ster, the stage where Princen rolled (only once, not 3x). Bodson was very late there allready, but we did see him passing to the start...

Heckters is going awesome today. He won first two stages and is very close to Snijers now. I enjoyed watching him driving yesterday, for me is he's the man of the rally!

Almost forgot, Bruno Blaise indeed deserves a medal for his spectacular passes!!!

Loix continues to impress in the S2000 against A8 WRC cars.

What kind of Corsa is the one running in class M14 doing well ?
