Next Sunday Andy Lefevere will start as an underdog in the ORC rally of Oostrozebeke. The Yprauto business manager will start with the familiar Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X R4 while his opponents have an R5.
“A few years ago you could drive at 110% to make the difference, but now those R5 cars have become too fast for our Lancer. We can only hope that there is a heavy shower, then they will have to take more account of us… Of course, don’t forget that our Lancer only costs half as much as an R5, ” said Andy Lefevere who, despite the not so fast car, will arrive at the start full of ambition. “When you race it is to win! Remember that the pressure is highest on our opponents, they can only lose…. “
Meanwhile, Andy continues to work in his workshop on the Porsche GT3 that he plans to turn out with later this season. But the new FIA rules mean that the Porsche project has already suffered some delays. “We have to mount a new FIA gas tank and makes that we have a few weeks delay anyway. I want to fully finish the Porsche right away, just like with Yprauto I don’t want to do a half job. Besides, we still have the Lancer to drive. “
There will be 4 laps of 3 tests on Sunday around Oostrozebeke where the race center is housed.
