Freddy Loix and his Kronos prepared peugeot 207 S2000 have dominated the Belgium Ypres Westhoek Rally from beginning to end. On Friday evening already Fast Freddy made the difference by setting 5 fastest times. Only the last stage of Langemark escaped him as he was slowed down by the crash of Jan Kopecky. On Saturday, Freddy continued his push until he lost his last rival Nicolas Vouilloz. Vouilloz spun in Westouter and lost about a minute. From that moment, Freddy loix and his codriver Robin Buysmans were counting down. They finished with a 58"7 lead in Ypres. Loix now holds the new record for the number of victories in the Belgium Ypres Westhoek Rally after also wiining in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999.

Luca Rossetti started to climb back up the ranking. Just before the start of the last two stages, Kemmel and Heuvelland that will be the grand finale of this Belgium Ypres Westhoek Rally Luca Rossetti came within inches of Patrick Snijers (2"6) who is in fourth position and he is at 7"7 of Bernd Casier. Giandomenico Basso had to let the guys go. The Italian came one minute early at the start of the Mesen-stage and got a one minute penalty. He is now in sixth position.

Fierce battle for third place |
|
Saturday, 28 June 2008 |
Last straight for the Belgium Ypres Westhoek Rally as we are setting off for the last leg. The final positions are at stake. The battle actually is happening behind Freddy Loix who again set a fastest time in Hollebeke (SS13) while letting Rossetti taking the 14-th stage. The Italian is still hoping to improve on his 6th spot.
Giandomenico Basso spun on stage 13 and let Vouilloz get in front of him again. On SS14 he had to stop to close his bonnet, which then meant Casier also overtook him in the rankings. Then the Abarth driver lost this spot to Snijers...
So just before the last two stages, he is under pressure of his fellow country-man Rossetti who is just 1"9 behind him and Snijers who is 9"2 ahead. This will be a close race !
