Belgian Rally News

Had a great day yesterday! The stages in Haspengouw are usually the least interesting of the championship, when dry. When it's wet and muddy as it was yesterday, the road becomes a big mess and makes it very interesting. A bit surprised by Ghislain De Mevius his strong performance, he adapted to the new Fabia R5 very well! William Wagner was also a great addition, with his spectacular style it didn't take long to become the crowd's favorite. Let's hope he does a few more events in Belgium...

Wow! So many R5 cars. It seems the Belgian rally scene looks good again.

I don't know why, but it looks like he lost his confidence some time ago. Also the Polo looked quite delicate to drive, the back end looked very nervous in comparison to other R5 cars. It was the first rally with their own Polo R5, last year he did one event with a Polo R5, but it was a rented car. Let's hope he finds a good set-up and gets his confidence back, we all know how fast he's been.

I'm afraid that for fighting the title is gone for him, lot of "younger" guns who are a bit faster. And I think the Fabia Evo would fit him more. DG Sport sold their 2 Polo's because they are not really adapted to Belgian Roads..

Ghislain winning is a bit surprising but ended last season already very good.

Biggest surprise was William Wagner adapted fast to our roads and also his first kilometers with the C3..

Any chance of Wagner coming back for future rounds this year?

I'd like to think that Ghislain benefited from his experience on the muddy stages of the RAC Rally at the end of last year!

It sure is! Haspengouw always has one of the worst entry lists of the championship... You can expect a lot more R5 cars in Wallonie, Ypres and Condroz!

I heard that he said in an interview yesterday he was planning to do 6 rounds. Would be great news, fast and spectacular driver!
