Viime vuonna Britannian rallisarjassa jatkuvasti kärkituloksia tehtaillut Jukka Korhonen oli nyt toistamiseen epäonninen, kun viikonloppuna Belgiassa ajettu EM-sarjan osakilpailu, Ypres Rally, päättyi toisena päivänä keskeytykseen teknisen vian vuoksi.

Cuckoomobile-team manager Stephen Vankemmel is looking at the final podium of the 50th Geko Ypres Rally with mixed feelings. He has a satisfied smile on his face as far as the young Finn Max Vatanen is concerned. Vatanen, in the Cuckoomobile Ford Fiesta R2, improved his over-all result of last year in his second asphalt rally ever. Then he was 38th, now Max is finishing 36th, despite the bad luck on the second day. On the other hand, Stephen ' the Boss ' Vankemmel would have loved to see his son Grégoire on that same stage. Only, for the 19-year-old debutant in Ypres the rally turned out unfortunately with an exit. But this is also part of becoming a good rally-driver, isn't it?
