Very few Porsche's in the Netherlands, there were some a few years ago but those were more like "Group N", a bit like what Duez was driving in Monte Carlo. Rules in national rallying allow much more. Porsche's are more seen in France (GT+, search for Gilles Nantet, Romain Dumas etc), Belgium (Snijers, Vanparijs, Claerhout, Viaene etc) and Germany (Zeltner and Dobberkau for example). I think the rules in these 3 countries are quite similar. I think HP varies from 400 to 470hp. I know that the Porsche of BMA (that Snijers drove 2 times last year) had some 420-425hp, sequential gearbox, many ultra-light parts (the doors are like made of plastic), Reiger suspension with extra long suspension travel (modified to the original) and much more, it's a brilliant piece of engineering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsJLFKNATU0 The sound (or in this case music) is very different to what we've seen in WRC...

Lowest point was probably when they had to put the top class drivers to run RX2e cars for the final races of the season, after the whole fire on the Lancias drama.
