3 Porsches in the top 10 of Spa Rally - the second round of Belgian rally championship:

...
5th BOUVY / HOTTELET Porsche 997 GT3
6th CLAERHOUT / VANDEPUTTE Porsche 997 GT3

Not so easy rally for the Porsches I guess, great result!

Since when are GT counted in 2WD? Do the Italians have their own rules? FIA doesn't count R-GT among 2WD (even though it's strange).

There was incredible number of retirements, mainly due to accidents. Final top three drivers were 4th, 8th and 14th after day 1...

Well, as far as I know Abarth 124 is a 2WD car. I don't care what FIA says

Yeaah, rally cars crash a lot, that's a fact, I'm still impressed with the results of the Porsche drivers, You must be disciplined drivers to achieve such result.

They were +8:45; +12:33; +15:45. With that normally You have no chance but when Abbring, Princen, Lim, De Cecco, Demaerschalk, Dilley, Kenis, Mayeart, Debackere all retired (nearly all crashed), nearly nobody was left

Oh yes, conditions were very difficult, it was raining, the roads were slippery and full of mud, just look at the videos.

Still no news about a RGT but a racetrack GT4 version has been rumoured on French sites.

Dumas will enter the rest of RGT Cup on his 911: Corsisa, Barum, Roma and Vallais. http://www.romaindumas.com/romain-du...coupe-fia-rgt/

The multitask French will also enter Pikes Peak in a Norma and drive Le Mans 24h for Alpine, on their LMP2 car. Who knows, maybe he’ll end convincing Alpine guys to get involved on RGT.
