Find it hard to understand why not to pick first start position: if you are first there is no dirt on road from cutting (you hear that every year in ypres), certainly when it has rained. Second, if it starts raining you have more chance for a dry stage since you start earlier. What am I not seeing? :-)

Ah, I didn't know Tsjoen had support from Peugeot. I removed him from my pickems after his car caught fire, but now I read he will compete anyway?

He's got a 5 minute penalty due to not driving the Qualifying Stage so no need to put him back in.

Even with 5min penalty he can reach top5. Was it not due to motor chance he got this penalty?

Very nice pic from Eastern Belgian rallydrivers:

Although I hope to see Bruno Thiry a lot more on Belgian rally stages!

Thanks for that, any idea what caused the fire? Is the turbo or fuel lines on that side of the car? Seemed to flare up very aggressively?

Whenever I have set a rally car on fire its always been more smoke than flames!

i read that the fire was due to oils from broken engine.
