In the interview before the rally Marc Duez said that if he finishes Monte in the last position, he will go to Sahara and stick his head in the sand. Now, he is 54th out of 55 competitors after SS3

Jarek, go back through this thread. Like Mirek wrote, since previous year there is new system for R-GT cars. And there were no existing RGT homologation before 2013, also Lotus was starting only on exception.

The Lotus Exige has been homologated on 1 July 2012 (you can find it here: http://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/ ... %C3%A9.doc)

The new "Technical Pass" regulations for RGT are valid since this year.

Duez and his Porsche in the 37th position on SS4, 14 seconds behind Martin Rada and his Alfa Romeo 147
Overal Duez still in the penultimate position.
Does anybody have any videos?

Duez and his Porsche also complete the last stage of the day. Not a great day, losing a lot of time on every stage, between 9.62 (SS6) and 13.10 (SS3) seconds per kilometer (not counting SS1, where there must have been an incident).

But most importantly, they are still there and can try again tomorrow.

Very good time von Duez and his Porsche today: on SS7 he is classifed as 24th, better than many RC3 cars.

Very good time? And what will you say after SS8? Duez and his Porsche in the 19th position on the 8th stage!

Yes, I saw that! Very pleased to see that the R-GT is competitve. On SS8 there was only one RC3 ahead of Duez. And these are still very wet and icy conditions. Will be great to see some R-GTs in Germany or on some tarmac ERC rounds.

If the Belgian 997's could get that homologation, there will be for sure in Ypres some of them there! Much better than driving Ypres in a "GT Rally" with only 3 cars or less.
