Evans just created an obstacle for others behind him...

It'll be repositioned.

Organizers have time to adjust the tyrebulk.

nice rally winner donuts! perfect weekend for Neuville-Wydaeghe

[mknight]

Congratulations to Neuville.

He handled the home rally pressure perfectly, with seemingly no moments. Compared to Tanak in Estonia it's quite a surprising difference.

Another Congratulations to Breen. Imo his best rally ever. For first time showing it might be good idea to run him on other than fast gravel/snow events. Off course he had lots of experience here even being the only guy driving a rally here last year in WRC car, but still he performed. Makes the silly season interesting again. Will Adamo sign him for more starts (maybe even dropping Sordo completely?) or will MSport take him at their expense? Would he want to "risk" MSport if he gets offered say 10/14 starts at Hyundai?

Disappointment of the rally is all Toyotas, but Ogier especially. Nevertheless he got ok points...like he usually does.

This result is good for the championship. If Toyotas won again, there would be no interest for the rest of the season. Great job from Neuville!

And now Greece!!!

after 1 year and 7 months finally a win for Thierry. Congrats to all of his fans and belgian people, great drive


maybe next year the rally wil be more interesting when all the drivers have done it now but i would prefer Rally Germany back instead of this

The rally itself was quite bad for me.

The biggest problem beeing how similar basically all stages were on first two days. Every second corner and junction looked the same. Combined with 1s differences per stage and no big position changes it wasn't very exciting. ( Would likely have been very different if it rained).

The last day was nice and saved it a bit, but too few kms. If it should run again the route should be diversified as much as possible. For example 2 night stages, one very long stage (like 35km), trying to combined roads of same character or even moving one more day to some other part of Belgium with different roads.

Germany with the 3 different stage types and amazing views is completely different level.
