World Rallycross Championship R9 2017 - Loheac
The last of my World Rallycross outings for 2017! I took a lot of pictures, so here are a handful of my favourites:

It wasn’t the best conditions for spectating in, but it made for some great racing: and there was lots of water splashes! https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4341/3...7deb1446_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4355/3...96329bb0_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4335/3...b794f2d1_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4378/3...bc02c2e9_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4439/3...dcda20e8_b.jpg European Supercar leader Anton Marklund started off fast, but seemed a bit more cautious in the wet. With a decent point lead though, just finishing the final was enough to keep him ahead. Marklund went on to win the Championship in Riga last weekend! https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4415/3...6799d2b7_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4407/3...3db492e9_b.jpg Dan Rooke has been the strongest challenger in RX2 and a win in Loheac would have put him in with a shout of the title. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be and a series of bad heats and mechanical issues left him out of contention. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4377/3...db296837_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4359/3...38b814b8_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4333/3...51925f24_b.jpg With Marklund playing it safe, Thomas Bryntesson was on a charge and he took the win in the European Supercars. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4360/3...f29b33c3_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4382/3...bb4a54c3_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4363/3...716f3043_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4440/3...2b4856c8_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4374/3...92564298_b.jpg In the dry conditions it looked like the Peugeots might be in with a shout, but in the wet Johan Kristoffersson was the class of the field and he won the final by a comfortable margin. Johan took the World title with another win in Riga at the weekend. Despite getting rather damp it was a brilliant weekend of racing, Loheac is far more interesting when it's wet. Loads more pictures here if anyone is interested! |
