Deflandre-Hugo (Porsche) first leaders of the Ostbelgien Classic 2022 - results

Ultimate proof of the popularity of the Ostbelgien Classic, especially in this 2022 edition serving as the final of the FIA Historic Regularity Rally Trophy, even... the snow was invited to the party in Eupen on this first day marked by a stage short but intense, acting as a perfect warm-up.
And it is the well-known orange Porsche 911 of Yves Deflandre, this time assisted by Jennifer Hugo, which is in the lead this Friday evening...
This time it's gone! It was cold, very cold even, when the FSO Polski of the Poles Postawka-Postawka passed on the starting podium of the Klötzerbahn at the stroke of 3 p.m.
Rich in two Regularity Tests (RT), but also a test in the very heart of Eupen, then another, optional, on the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, the first stage of the event set up by the The team of 'The Event' surrounding Michael Bartholemy served as the perfect warm-up. Nothing very difficult, except that the traffic on Friday afternoon did not make it easy for the competitors.
Around 6 p.m., the first cars were back in the heart of Eupen, and after analyzing the results and the various penalties, it was Yves Deflandre and Jennifer Hugo (Porsche 911, 16.35 pts) who led the way in the standings. general, a week after the pilot's victory at Ypres with the same mount.
This is followed by the Ford Cortina Lotus of Vanderspinnen-Vanoverschelde (20.88 pts), the Volvo PV444 of Martens-Pyck (23.80 pts), the Porsche 911 of Blaise-Lienne (24.20 pts) and the Porsche 911 of De Jaeger -De Jaeger (24.33 pts). A good start for Letocart-Gengoux (Opel Manta GSi, 24.99 pts) who are currently ahead of these other choice crews, Lambert-Noelanders (BMW 2022 Ti, 25.19 pts) and Reuter-Vandervorst (Porsche 944 S2, 35.05 pts).
Which means that this Friday, the Belgian crews shone on their ground against the international duos, Stanislaw and Anna Postawka immediately earning a very big penalty after missing a junction in the RT01! The game therefore looks difficult for the Poles. It is the Latvians Stanevics-Hmielevskis (VAZ Lada 1500) who are currently the best 'internationals' in 11th provisional place.
It should be noted, however, that the SS02, the optional test on the legendary Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, fell into the hands of the Postawkas, who were therefore going to be honored this Friday evening during the first official dinner.
This Saturday, place in a stage that should be described as a marathon, both very long and intense. The competitors will head for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and more particularly Weiswampach, where the ranking is likely to change significantly. Because if the conditions should be cold and dry this Saturday, the snow will still fall on the Ostbelgien in the middle of the night...
