Tight Fight for Second Position

While Potty controlled the rally, an intense battle developed behind him.

Roger Hodenius fought closely with Bjorn Syx throughout the event.

Hodenius competed in a Škoda Fabia Rally2 while Syx drove a Toyota GR Yaris Rally2.

The fight ended dramatically after Hodenius and co driver Robin Buysmans retired with mechanical problems.

Syx therefore inherited second position and completed a strong result.

Historic Rally Cars Delight Fans

The event also featured the famous demonstration field from the Ardennes Rally Festival.

Fans enjoyed a large collection of historic rally machinery during the weekend.
