We lost 10s in the SS5 because of a stuck handbrake in a junction, but we’re still 6th overall, it’s ok. #FIAERC #YpresRally


Stéphane Lefebvre has fought back to fifth place on the Kenotek Ypres Rally during the opening day of the FIA European Rally Championship classic.

Lefebvre lost around 20 seconds to a technical problem on the first stage of the event, leaving him 19th overall, but he set fastest times on stages two and four. He lost 11 seconds to leader Bryan Bouffier when he spun and stalled on SS5, and although he complained of having to pass two cars on SS6 – as a result of running way down the start order having missed the Qualifying Stage – he climbed into fifth above Bernd Casier.

He was then second fastest on the final stage of the day, level with Freddy Loix and 2.1 seconds behind Vincent Verschueren, who notched up his second win of the day. He finishes the day 31.8s behind the leader Bryan Bouffier, who was just a tenth slower than Loix and therefore has a 6.9s margin.

Maybe DMack wasn't confident about their tyres, and was afraid they would do more harm to their reputation than anything else? Snijers used DMack in Sezoens Rally this year. He kicked them off and mounted Michelin on the first service already.

a bit off topic.
I was just wondering that this "car problem" might be a bit different. maybe they didnt had test car for other days to test for Poland and that was their car problem. Polish test was partly overlapping with Ypres recce. So, that was a "car problem?" There are 6 Fiesta WRC-s in Poland, Camilli, Ostberg, Tänak all had tests, maybe Yazeed, and Bertelli also and there were 9 Fiesta WRC-s in Italy, not long ago, so pretty intense schedule prepare all cars and maintain one testcar for at least four long days
