Last weekend, the Staden Rally was on Andy Lefevere’s schedule. The Yprauto business manager drove his home race there, but to win like last year, the opposition was too strong, however… “In the opening stages I gave everything, but of course our Lancer is not an R5,” Andy laughs. ” And Vincent, of course, is also extremely fast… We lose about 0.3 second per kilometer. Winning was not in the cards this time… It is not easy when drivers like Vincent are at the start with an R5. “
However, the EXPERZA Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X did particularly well, as second place with both a Skoda Fabia in front of and behind them is a particularly good result. “In terms of budget the EVO is unbeatable, our Mitsubishi costs a fraction of a Skoda. As soon as my new Porsche GT3 is ready the Lancer will be for sale. We have been driving the Lancer for 5 years now, we have a large stock of spare parts and know the car inside out. If the car stays in the region I would certainly still like to support the new owner….“
The next race is the ConXion Omloop van Vlaanderen, the only national race on the program this year. For this race, the 6-speed sequential transmission must make way for the 5-speed manual transmission.
