Thanks for all the videos, keep them coming. My first time proper at the event and I had an amazing time, credit to the organisers for staging such a great event. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get around, how helpful the stage side staff were and how relaxed the atmosphere was. Despite being willing, I ended up paying €15 in total for 4 stages (simply because no one was there to ask for money - I wasn't avoiding them!).

Already planning on next year and will aim for the full four days from historic Shakedown as I didn't get to see enough of those cars in action. I hope the modern Shakedown is able to stay in the same village as the atmosphere inside that little loop is something very special.

As a spectator, it doesn't matter too much how close the event is, but it's been fun to follow anyway and I hope the main protagonists all manage to find a way to come back next year and give it another go. All credit to Freddy; he knew how to drive the event and let it come to him, and that's why he's the master of the place.

Althoug I have nothing against ''fast'' Fredy, this week end he doesn't deserve victory. There were faster than him....but you have to finish, that is clear.
For me surprise of the race : Dumas ! Nobody expected that even one 911 will finish between first eight (see the pickem), now he is on 4th position (although Magalhaes is closing). Great job, indeed. He should change the circuit racing for rally, hehehehe.....

You praise Romain Dumas for the same reason you devalue Loix' prestation. He climbed up to 4th only after others mistakes and retirements. But of course he did well, very clean driving style compared to Delecour, "Mr. frein tard" was all over the place, really amazing to see. Still there are some differences between the GT3 of Delecour and Dumas I think. The gearbox of Dumas seemed much shorter than anyone else's.

On friday Freddy wasn't quickest indeed. On friday he was not happy at all, about his set-up. It's interesting to mention that on the 2nd loop on friday he was the only driver with R11's (the softer one) and he had 2 spares in the booth. On saturday he managed to get the set-up more as he liked, and then it was his time... On first 5 stages of saturday he did 3 quickest times and 2 times only 0,3s from fastest time. There was only one driver notably quicker than Freddy, and we all knew he would end up somewhere next to the road, it took him quite long in fact. What we've seen from Abbring was really crazy, on every corner he was not on the limit, but completely over. At the finish of the fifth stage, Pieter Tsjoen told someone from another team "We are going to crash, I'm 100% sure, it's impossible what he is doing."... For me, Kevin Abbring is the one who deserved the Colin McRae award, he was the one who was really driving with the same style and commitment McRae had...


Photo of Freddy on the first stage on saturday. You can see he is cutting deeper than anyone else, he's in the line of small gravel with his outer wheels, causing the clean line to be full of small gravel again for the car starting behind him...
