[ERC] Geko Ypres Rally (19. -21.06. 2014)

yes broken tyre = broke the brake pipe.it happens.

Yes I realised the puncture lead to the broken brake pipe... But that is unlucky as every puncture does not normally do this as well.

So Breen not only lost the time from the flat tyre but then also for 3 more stages due to no brakes - all from one 'mistake' which may not have been Breen's error at all, just bad luck.

Puncture in Ypres is mostly own fault instead of bad luck..

But no-one actually knows the cause.

Every driver is taking big cuts so Breen wasnt doing anything different...

One person says the puncture is due to a mistake but no-one actually knows.

Eddie usually this problem occurs when you decide to go some kms in the stage with the flat tyre.
If you choose to change it because the stage has plenty of kms more,you avoid more problems from the ''flat tyre''
if you have some ie 4-5 kms to the stage end, usually you continue with the flat tyre because you will loose less vs change it which cost about 2 minutes.
But when you decide to continue with flat tyre you take the risks.When tyre will explode to pieces its normal to destroy everything near that place.And thats not the only risk,they can be more damages with flat tyres, like differential problems (due to the shorter diameter from the wheel )with the flat tyre.

Fair point, but I've seen many times drivers continue with a puncture and much of the corner of the car is destroyed... there appeared no damage to Breen's.

How far from the end was he when it happened ?

Anyone followed my splits? On langemark I was at the finish and compared to the real results my splits were accurate, and almost real time.

Was a nice day on the stages, good weather, nice battle. Pitty Roxx made a mistake and I'm feeling very sorry for Casier. Good rally from Cherain and super rally from Abbring! Anyone knows what happened with Thiry, he didn't pass in the last stage.

It was a bit more difficult with the 2 minute gap

I am just back after a nice day in Ypres. The most friendly drivers that I met were the Czech drivers, the Hungarian drivers, Esapekka Lappi, Bruno Thiry, Petter Kristiansen and Spencer Wilkinson. I had an old postcard (from 1981) and pressphotos of Ari Vatanen with me and Ari signed them, really happy about it.

In SS4 Langemark, #34 Philip Barbier went in a ditch in front of me. It was impossible to bring the car back on the road there.

It is also clear that the R5 cars, and especially the 208 T16 cars, are having a lot more torque after slow corners than the S2000 cars. The biggest surprise for me is Neil Simpson, who is much faster than I thought on this roads. Most spectacular drivers where Tibor Erdi jr., Esapekka Lappi, Luca Rossetti, András Hadik and Jaroslav Orsák.
