[ERC] Geko Ypres Rally (19. -21.06. 2014)

[tommeke_B]

Still almost half a year, but RG 1 is already out. Link: http://www.ypresrally.com/docs/Rally_Gu ... 080114.pdf

20 stages (11 different ones), totalling 324,11km SS which makes it longer than some WRC events. Again driven on friday afternoon/night and a long saturday... Almost completely new is SS Reninge, at least 15 years ago since the stage has been used for the last time (maybe some older member can tell an exact number?), the stage should be driven partly on concrete roads, a bit different character from other stages. Also there's a 20km long SS Westouter, the stage will cross the French border, where they will drive some roads ( have already beenused for testing and stage of a Northern French event) near Boeschepe, I think it could be a great stage.

Anyone who is coming this year?

Rumored for a long time but Pieter Tsjoen will do the BRC again, starting from Ypres with the DG Sport 208 t16 R5!

No 208 for Gryazin in Ypres it seems, he entered with his Fiesta again.

[PLuto]

Robert Barrable is thinking about start on Ypres

[mousti]

Sepp Wiegand has entered with the Fabia, let's hope Lappi follows.

I guess Loix will drive works Skoda on Ypres again but a three car team would be nice

[vino_93]

Loix has his own car in Belgian championship, don't you think he will enter with it, with a support of Skoda ?

I'm almost sure he will start with works car.

[RS]

I concur with Mirek, I think they will want him in a full up-to-date car prepared by the works team. That Peugeot top speed advantage might be dangerous on Ypres...

[mousti]

Loix will prefer that too..
