Belgian Rally News

Loong time no posts here... Though the Belgian championship has been very exciting so far. In the last 5 rounds the difference between the first and second at the end of the rally has never been greater than 8,8s. We've had some spectacular battles, with a 3-way fight for the title. This weekend there's the Spa Rally. Fernémont is leading the championship ahead of De Mevius and Munster. It's pretty simple. If Fernémont wins, he is champion. If De Mevius or Munster win, they are champion, IF Fernémont doesn't finish 2nd AND takes at least 2 powerstage points more than them.

Next those 3 drivers there are some others who can mix in the battle for the win. Lefebvre who won last Condroz is taking part, and Rossel as well, both in C2 Rally2 from team DG Sport (also organizer of this rally). Cherain and De Cecco are locals who could go for a close finish too.

In terms of weather, it's cold and rainy, roads will be very muddy. The temperature is just above 0°C right now. Snow is not likely but possible, snow tyres are allowed.

Nicolas Gilsoul will return to rallying taking over the co-driver duties for Gino Bux in 2022 Belgian rallying championship. This pair could provide some surprises this season.

Easy victory for Lefebvre in first rally of the championship, Haspengouwrally. He took the lead on first stage and never left it again. Very good rally for Bux, first time in R5 and taking second place. Belgian champion Fernemont lost too much on first stage with three donuts after watersplash. He never recovered from that, finishing fourth at the end. The podium was completed by De Mevius.

And I was very impressed by Verstappen. He was on speed from the start and was looking very good in the fast corners. He lost a bit in the end (probably in the dark) but I'm sure he will improve more during the year and might take a podium somewhere in the second half of the season.

For Bux, I think he still has margin as he was a bit irregular (some excellent passes mixed with passes that where a bit hesitating). But he was fastest belgian already, I'm impressed!
