https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY6ni2uFVDo Nice video from yesterday. ;) Wasn't a bad start of the season. A bit too dry for the type of stages in my opinion (except the gravel parts on SS Zepperen of course). I'll post some resume and photos later.

The car already has the looks. :p I doubt he could have won if Loix didn't retire, of course, IF. Well deserved victory for them. It's good to finally see him driving with a proper car in good conditions (lots of testing etc), he sure is driving in the best circumstances at the moment. I hope Cherain and Tsjoen can pick up the fight when they get used to the cars more. Both drivers started a bit unprepared, Cherain changed team only just more than a week ago, and Tsjoen knew he was going to drive for just over a week as well. Cédric Cherain said it's a big step from Fiesta R5 to DS3 R5, the DS3 is much more nervous, the Fiesta was much easier, more predictable.

Cherain drives with one hand.

Yes. Not sure if it's posted here, but a part of the time-loss of Tsjoen, Cherain and Grooten is caused by them using a short gearbox in stead of the longer one (which was used by Princen and Verschueren).

My little report of the first rally of the Belgian Championship 2015. It was a good rally for us, saw some decent action and fast passes.

Loix (Skoda S2000): Only saw him passing once, didn't look fast there... But had the scratch on that stage by a real big margin (I don't know anything about rally). Without his retirement, he would have won for sure.
Princen (208 R5): Good rally, some mistakes in the beginning (we saw one, a braking on gravel where he put 2 wheels on the grass and spon) but won easily in the end. I think he should be able to fight with Loix later on in the season (depending on the speed of the Fabia R5 ifcourse)
Snijers (Porsche): Didn't convince me, hadn't any concurrent in his class and retired pretty early on.
Verschueren (DS3 R5): Used his experience with the car from last year to finish a very fine 2nd! Could finish quite high in the championship, but will not take the title.
Tsjoen (DS3 R5): little rusty, barely any preparation, got a puncture and some ECU software problem. I expect him to become faster later in the season, maybe an outsider for the title, but I don't think so.
Cherain (DS3 R5): Disappointed about his performance. Seemed to struggle a lot with the behaviour of the car, seemed much faster with the Fiesta last year. I hope he improves during the year, because he has the speed, and can challenge for the title.
Grooten (DS3 R5): Carefull beginning of the season, he should improve a lot during the year.
Becx (Fiesta R5): Suprise of the rally, lot faster then with the DS3 R3 last year. Some mistakes and a puncture, but could improve during the year.
Van Woensel (Lancer WRC): Fast from the beginning, could have won even without Loix' retirement, but suspension collapsed on SS2).
Allart (Fabia WRC): good rally with a well-deserved 3th place.

Otherwise, Colsoul (EvoX grN, no rythm but still fast), Streel (EvoVIII grA, very spectacular driving style), Diels (M3 E36, very spectacular too), Vandenberghe (BMW 130i, clean but very fast, 9th overall with even a 5th time, only 2nd time in the car) were other names that stood out.

Young guys weren't very impressive in this rally. De Maerschalk (DS3 R3) was fast on some places, but I expected more from him. In R2, Geussens, Pacolet and Dolfen (no Junior) were fast but nothing special. Level in Junior category will be quite week this year i'm afraid...

Next up, the return of the Spa Rally in 2 weeks. Quite similar entry list, with Bonjean (Impreza S12 WRC), Casier (Fiesta R5) and some GT cars added.

I am afraid it is still a little bit to early for the stage maps of this years TAC rally. You can send me PM if you are interested in last year's stages, mostly they don't change much. I think by the end of the month the stages will be public.;)

Cherain => no pre tests, first time in the DS3 R5, new team just before the rally => 2x scratch + 3x 2° time. Made some mistakes, but the speed is there. When he gets used to the Citroën he will probably beat Tsjoen & Verschueren! We will see!

Good question... Bruno Thiry did a season (1993) with Opel Astra from Opel Team Belgium, mostly international events. But to find somebody who knows which event was done with which chassis will be nearly impossible I think. Don't forget it's 22 years ago and it's likely most of the people who worked for the team then aren't doing anything in rallying anymore... ;) I think the only chance is to get in touch with Bruno Thiry or Stéphane Prévot themselves, if you are extremely lucky they may remember something from it, both had a long career. :)

So Spa Rally this weekend... :)

http://spa.rallyresults.be/spa-rally - Live results can be found here.
Entry list:

6 stages (2x3SS) are run on friday, first at 16h15. The first one is next to the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, and is also using some roads around it, for me at least half of the stage is way too fast. Second stage is more technical with some gravel part, third is the well-known Clémentine. Less than half of the well-known gravel in the forest is used there, but before that part (last 3km before finish) the stage looks exciting as well, nice roads. On saturday 15 stages (3x5SS) are on the schedule. 2 stages are known from the old "Boucles de Spa", for the 3 other stages you need to go to the Condroz-region, the most Western stages of Spa Rallye are close to the most Eastern of Condroz. So a few stages (in my opinion 2 stages) are very similar to those of Rallye du Condroz. There are a few brutal gravel sections, and drivers are already fearing that punctures could play an important role in this event... Weather should be dry.

http://www.sparally.com/sites/default/files/files/SR%2015%20Engagés%20BRC.pdf Entry list for modern cars. Most important drivers for top positions are Loix, Cherain, Tsjoen, Princen, Verschueren, Casier, Becx, Grooten with S2000/R5, with WRC we have Van Woensel, Allart and Bonjean. In GT we have Snijers, Lejeune, Vanparijs and Claerhout. This event is the first event of the Belgian 208 Rally Cup as well, so quite a few R2 cars (including Bux, De Cecco, Geusens etc).

http://www.sparally.com/sites/default/files/files/SR%2015%20Engagés%20HBRC.pdf Entry list for historic cars. Not many drivers but some interesting names. Marc Duez is driving a BMW M3, in FINA colors! The car is similar to what he was driving some 25 years ago. Also interesting is Swiss driver Florian Gonon who is starting with an Escort MK1. Also François De Spa, man from the region, is someone to be watched. :)

HaCo

14th March 2015, 22:19

Damn, just reading why Verschueren and Van Parijs were excluded. Apparently they added a quite hidden checkpoint between the finish and start of 2 stages. Loix almost missed it as well, just saw the 0 passing it.
Shouldn't this be mentioned in the roadbook?
Van Woensel admits he was doing an illegal recce on ss2 to check the finish, apparently the organization added a chicane to the finish line (over a very tight bridge). So he agrees with the 3 minutes penalty, but the nominal times he got were way to high. One of the last stages he got a nominal time he got more than one minute more!

The region is awesome, but the delays and all the actions that were taken are not worth a Belgian championship :-(

Since a lot of R5 this time retired with mechanical problems and only three finished I'd like to ask if anybody knows exactly what happened to them? Tsjoen, Casier, Verschueren, Grooten?
Casier hit something and broke a steering arm.
Tsjoen had an off, I heard he complained about the rear end handling of his DS3, it is too loose (since Haspengouw apparently)
Verschueren excluded. But did break another drive shaft on day 1, had to do the second run of Clementine with fwd, I think he had this problem in previous rally as well.
Grooten, I heard he had a puncture, not sure.
Princen had to replace gearbox, why he got 1min40 penalty time.

Quite ok for R5 reputation ;-)

Coming back to retirement of Grooten. He had a puncture, replaced the wheel, later in the same loop he punctured again. He had to do a stage almost completely on the wheel. When he was going to service, maybe 500m from Service In, the wheel broke... Anyway I'm a bit disappointed by his performance in Spa as well, expected something better from him.

Seen a great event, beautiful fast stages. A lot of variety, on places you had open fields and could follow the cars for kilometers. On a place we could already see the next car coming before the previous one disappeared. Other places are in forest. Some roads are wide, some extremely narrow, bumpy/flat, gravel, uphill, downhill, everything is in it. A few parts were similar to what you can find in Barum Rally. Some gravel parts were too brutal in my opinion.Also the itinerary allowed you to see a lot of stages (we did 4 on friday night, 8 on saturday), if you didn't mind driving a lot.

Competition-wise this wasn't a good event. Some great battles, that's what we had. Freddy Loix in huge battle with Princen, before Princen got the penalty. I hope Princen can improve a bit more for when Loix will have the Fabia R5, because it will be quicker, probably only a few seconds on each stage. The organizers failed in every aspect. Chris Van Woensel (Lancer WRC) decided to stop after he lost some 3 minutes due to notional times for stages he couldn't drive because of accidents. With his WRC car he was starting behind the first R2 cars... Verschueren, Vanparijs and some others were excluded for missing some time control. A time control which Freddy Loix would have missed if he didn't see the 0-car stopping there in front of him!... Many things went wrong, leading to even more retirements than you usually have, but ok... Let's hope RACB will do something about it, but I expect nothing.

Tommeke: Those 3 minutes for Van Woensel are not a notional time. They are a penalty acc. to Article 20.2. That's written on the result page. I have no idea what it is in Your national regulations but somebody here wrote something about illegal recce of SS2.

Yes. These drivers got 3min penalty: Snijers, Van Woensel, Bonjean, Bouvy and Claerhout. They were all caught on the same stage (SS2/5) on friday morning. It's worth mentioning that official recce is always the weekend before the event, and organizers have put some hay bales on this stage that weren't mentioned in the roadbook, logically, drivers notes weren't correct. I would be very surprised if they were the only drivers who had a look at the stage on friday. It would be better if organizers check on illegal recce longer before the event. What I like is that the organizers give a time penalty in stead of a financial penalty. Last years sometimes there were penalties, but for some drivers 500 euros penalty isn't a big deal...

Both Van Woensel and Hermann stopped after SS8. On SS4 they got +36,7s. On SS6 1m04,6s. On SS7 +54,8s. It's normal they didn't agree on this, in normal conditions Van Woensel would lose maybe 20s on these stages together...

http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/videozone/v_opvallend/1.2271748 Amazing onboard with Freddy Loix on SS Clémentine 1, it's incredible how they do it, also big respect for the codriver! The stage was delayed by 45mins which caused it to be run in almost dark, and almost no drivers had their big light pods on. Somewhere after 4mins the most interesting part starts, from there to the finish it's all gravel, and they are driving with tarmac set-up. This year it was dry and then it's quite compact gravel, the grip level is quite high. You hear Freddy talking and saying many things like "a fond", "couperen" etc, those are things in notes that must change or that have to be added for the second loop. Also interesting to hear at the finish that he thinks he didn't do a good stage...

Armand Fumal
Bernd Casier

Cédric de Cecco
Chris van Woensel
David Bonjean
Pieter Tsjoen
Stephan Hermann

Armand Fumal: ex-circuit driver who isn't doing a full championship. Instead he wants to do some WRC rounds this year on asphalt, like Germany and France.
Bernd Casier: he doesn't has the budget for a full season. He will drive only a few rallies this season. Ypres is sure.
Bob Colsoul: for years, he is only competing in his home rally, the Rally van Haspengouw.
Cédric de Cecco: I don't know why he isn't at the entry list. For sure he will do the Rallye de Wallonië at the end of this month and the Condroz at the end of the season.
Chris van Woensel, David Bonjean: both are angry that WRC cars had so many notional times in Spa. In the worst case, we won't see them again in a round for the Belgian national championship this year...
Pieter Tsjoen: he is now co-driver of Stéphane Lefèbvre for probably 3 rounds in the BRC: Wallonie, Ypres and the Condroz.
Stephan Hermann: he was also angry due to notional times in Spa and he hasn't the budget to compete in the full championship. Very fast driver in an old Punto, but he lacks budget. We will see him in his home rally, the East Belgian Rally in September. Other rallies depends on his small budget.

Cédric Cherain not starting in TAC, he will do Rallye de Wallonie, and after that only a limited BRC-programme... 9 events in a national championship is simply too much, especially when the average length of an event is around 200km SS.

200kms/rally with a rentend R5 is too much for national rallies. Is like doing 9 Ypres Rally during the season!
This extension of kms could be just for the rallies with more prestige like Ypres and Condroz.
IMO, the ideal would be to have events around 120kms.

Well, I enjoyed the trip !
Loix really impressive. Fast, and, what made the difference : clean.
Princen pushed, pushed, pushed ... too much. always on the limit, we clearly saw he was losing time.
Beckx, I was really surprised. He expected him like a slow gentleman driver, but he was quite fast.
Verschueren and Grooten very slow, not at ease. Maybe the DS3 R5 is a difficult car to drive ...
Cornelis quite surprising for me too. I know he was correct with Impreza WRC, but here he was quite fast.

The junior rules has done his effect again. Allart stopped because each times he joined the DS3 R1 starting in front of him ...

http://www.velvetmotion.com/automobileclubnamur//rallye/brc2015_fr.php Entry list for Rallye de Wallonie is growing, 7 R5s, 2 S2000s and 3 (older generation) WRCs so far. If it's dry we need to keep an eye on Jean-Pierre Vandewauwer with the BMA 997 GT3 as well.

Some great news! Stephan Hermann becomes official Opel driver in Belgium. He will drive a rented Adam R2 in Wallonie, from events later on he will drive an Adam R2 purchased by Opel Belgium. For people who don't know Hermann, he was driving a self-made Fiat Punto the last few years, very fast and spectacular guy. He is codriven by Achim Maraite (former and first codriver of Thierry Neuville).

Will Kevin Demaerschalk drive in Wallonie :confused:

Not sure, he said a month ago he had budget for 6 rallies and was searching for more budget for more rallies and upgrade to DS3 Max. Hermann with Opel R2 seems own construction with his sponsors, support of Opel Belgium was a wrong report it seems.

Pitty about missing Opel support, but still a very nice addition to the R2 field!

It was a great rally this weekend. One of the best rallies I've ever seen (in my small career, have to say :p )

Not only in front (saw an incredible pas by Lefebvre in a forest, literally got goose bumps) but also in 2WD. And best thing was, fight continued till the very last stage!

Hopefully next rallies will be as good. But entrylist for next round (Sezoensrally in 2 weeks) is very weak up till now.
Yes it was really a nice rally!

Tomorrow there's the Sezoens Rally in Belgium, 5th event (of 9) in the championship. The event has around 30% gravel which isn't bad, but apart from that it has the most boring stages of the championship. Chris Van Woensel with his Lancer WRC is favourite for the win. Benoit Allart starts with his Fabia WRC. Loix will drive the Fabia S2000 for the last time, R5-competitors are Princen (208), Verschueren (DS3), Serderidis (DS3), Becx (Fiesta) and Irish driver Stephen Wright (Fiesta). This event has a weaker list, which is a bit logical, as the calendar counts too many events...

Very nice design for Loix, with the statistics on it (clearly inspired by the DS3 WRC of Loeb in Alsace a few years ago).

I am not agree with you Tom that Chris van Woensel is the favourite. I spoke to him today and he said me that he didn't drove a km since the Spa Rally, more than two months ago. There was also no test for him and we know that Princen and especially Loix can test a lot. Van Woensel also said that he has new Yokohama tyres and that Loix and Princen are the favourites for the victory.

It's easy to put the pressure on someone else their shoulders. I know Van Woensel will attack from the start, because he's that kind of driver.

He certainly has the talent, if the car is reliable... I know the first split we took on the Haspengouw Rally he was 4,4secs faster than Fast Freddy.

Cvw confirming the expectations, a victory would be nice for his sponsor Yokohama.
Just did the first stage which was 3 laps around a nice stageloop, really good view there. It's a new stage, well done by the organisation.
Now I'm at beek-bree, famous stage, quite close to the finish at some nice gravel part.
Must be really hard to pick tires, it's raining a little bit.

From the event website:

De Mitsubishi Lancer WRC ging aan hoge snelheid van de baan, raakte een paaltje aan de buitenkant van de baan en schoot terug naar de binnenkant, waar de Mitsubishi een toeschouwer raakte. De onfortuinlijke man werd afgevoerd met een gebroken been.

De Mitsu WRC went off at high speed, hit a small pole at the outside of the road en flew back to the inside where the Mitsu hit a spectator. The unfortunate man was taken to hospital with a broken leg.

New car for Dutch driver Hermen Kobus. He's going to drive a small event (Rally van Staden) in Belgium next week as preparation for Omloop van Vlaanderen (BRC). He's a well-known driver in the Belgian championship for several years now. In speed I think he could be close to Loix (he was with fiesta S2000), but sure he will need time to learn the car and to get back in the rhythm, his last event was Rallye du Condroz last year, I think.

4/5 September the Belgian championship will continue in the Omloop van Vlaanderen.
We will see a nice number of R5's at the start of the event. Loix with the Skoda, Princen continues the championship with the Peugeot, Verschueren with the Citroen, then we will also see 2 Fords from Floral Racing (Van Rompuy and Duquesne) and J-Motorsport should start with a Citroen as well. Normally this would be Lefebre and Tsjoen as his co, but it looks like Lefebre will have other obligations that weekend, let's hope they find another fast driver.
Serderidis will start with a DS3 WRC.

For victory we hope to see a big fight between Loix and Princen. Let's hope a third driver can battle with them.

I have no idea what to expect from him.

So Lefebere confirmed not to start. But 2 extra Ford R5's: Wright and Vanneste.

Allaert again with Fabia WRC, maybe a candidate for overall victory.

Unfortunately Beckx sold his Fiesta R5, he will start in a Fiesta R2.

Did he sell the fiesta because he will buy another car (fabia) instead?

dupanton

30th August 2015, 17:36

About Van Rompuy: He started in rallying with a Fiesta R2. Wasn't slow, but quite inconsistent. Then he switched to a old Opel Kadett. Then had a ban for 1 year (smoking stuff before Ypres Rally) and now he will make his comeback, straight in to an R5 car.
Strange carreer, but he has the money for sure!

About Becx: Apparentely Weijs Motorsport offered him a nice price for his Fiesta and he just sold it. He will buy something else, but doesn't know what yet. I would think it will be an R5 again.

The Fabia R5 doesn't have the perfect setup yet, still some work to do. On some bumpy places PSA R5 cars were handling it much better.

Results 56. Omloop van Vlaanderen:
1. Freddy Loix/Johan Gitsels (Fabia R5) 1h50'27"5
2. Didier Duquesne/Filip Cuvelier (Fiesta R5) +3'15"4 - best result ever for Duquesne in the BRC.
3. Jourdan Serderidis/Frédéric Miclotte (DS3 WRC) +4'39"4 - best result ever for Serderidis in the BRC, first time in a DS3 WRC.
4. Filip Pyck/Pedro Plancke (Lancer Evo 10) +4'45"5 - winner in Group N.
5. Guillaume Dilley/Louis Louka (DS3 R3T Max) +5'32"7 - winner in 2WD category and 2nd overall in the championship now.
6. Kevin Demaerschalk/Bram Eelbode (DS3 R3T) +5'39"8
7. Tom van Rompuy/Bert Feys (Fiesta R5) +5'40"2 - first time in a R5 car.
8. Bert Coene/Petra de Duytsche (Lancer Evo 10) +7'19"7
9. Tobi Vandenberghe/Bjorn Vanoverschelde (130i) +9'30"9 - winner of the 'M Cup'.
10. Stefaan Stouf/Joris Erard (911 RSR) +9'31"2 - winner 'Historics'.
11. Stephan Hermann/Achim Maraîte (Punto) +9'54"1 - Hermann really deserves a chance with a bigger car, but he lacks budget...

Most important retirements were again for the PSA R5 cars: Kris Princen (208 T16, mechanical), Vincent Verschueren (DS3 R5, oil pressure), Irish driver Stephen Wright (Fiesta R5) and in the Historic class Paul Lietaer (Legacy RS, mechanical).

Loix must only finish in the next BRC round, the East Belgian Rally at the end of this month, to have a 3rd consecutive Belgian title.

dupanton

7th September 2015, 12:31

Even if he doesn't finish or starts in East Belgian or Condroz, he will be champion. Dilley has to win overall with his DS3 R3 in both East Belgian and Condroz to take the title...

Anyway, it was a interesting start of the rally with scratches from Loix, Princen and Verschueren. Unfortunately, the big fight was over way to soon...

Hopefully, reliability will be better for PSA Cars in East Belgian Rally. Should be a nice entrylist and nice battle there!
