Nice fightback from Hermen Kobus! Taking 2nd place on the last stage by 0.4 seconds after losing a lot of time on SS1.

What happened to Pontus Tidemand? He was setting times almost equal to Thierry Neuville...

?euville 1,5 min slower from Cherain?

Engine broken according to PT on Twitter. He was 7 secs ahead of Neuville after 7 stages and fastest Fiesta R2. Obviously they just compared to themselves leaving out the Peugeots 208 which seems to be quite much faster than Fiesta R2: s at the moment.

I must say that Neuville was very impressive, especially when you know that his Fiesta is certainly not the best one around. Also Tindemand was very nice to watch and also very fast, he was in front of Thierry, but Thierry lost about ten seconds compared to Pontus on stage 3, but i don't know why.
Overall very nice rally with the most beatifull roads of Belgium and a deserved win for good old Patrick Snijers, alltough Kobus was maybe the fastest driver in the rally, but he lost about half a minute on first stage with a mistake at the end of the stage. Also Sturbois was going very well, but went of the road on stage 11.
Battle between Pugs 208 R2 was very nice to watch but it must be said that Cherain was very fast right away. Someone that i need to mention is Stephane Hermann who was driving incredible with his old Fiat Punto Kitcar, very very impressive, not only for show but also stagetimes very impressive.
