Happy for Princen
He has quite a strange career, now it's time to be back in business, at equal car ! (like Guigou in France, he looks like he stayed too close from Renault, and "spoil" his career due to this).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY6ni2uFVDo Nice video from yesterday.
Wasn't a bad start of the season. A bit too dry for the type of stages in my opinion (except the gravel parts on SS Zepperen of course). I'll post some resume and photos later.

I hope Kris Princen will become the "Belgian Paolo"(Andreucci)of Peugeot now

The car already has the looks.
I doubt he could have won if Loix didn't retire, of course, IF. Well deserved victory for them. It's good to finally see him driving with a proper car in good conditions (lots of testing etc), he sure is driving in the best circumstances at the moment. I hope Cherain and Tsjoen can pick up the fight when they get used to the cars more. Both drivers started a bit unprepared, Cherain changed team only just more than a week ago, and Tsjoen knew he was going to drive for just over a week as well. Cédric Cherain said it's a big step from Fiesta R5 to DS3 R5, the DS3 is much more nervous, the Fiesta was much easier, more predictable.

Zepperen was quite rough, maybe on the limit on some parts, check this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB7d...ature=youtu.be Onboard from Zepperen. As you can see this stage isn't made for cars with tarmac set-up...

Yes. Not sure if it's posted here, but a part of the time-loss of Tsjoen, Cherain and Grooten is caused by them using a short gearbox in stead of the longer one (which was used by Princen and Verschueren).
Nice video of JM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPHz...ature=youtu.be

it's just they can't do everything at the same time. we all know that the project was late, and regaining time is not easy, especially with "low" funding and limited testing.
