Liam Doran and the Monster Energy RX in the lead at Spa

Liam Doran (Audi S1) a été le plus efficace dans les deux premières manches qualificatives du World RX à Spa-Francorchamps (Belgique). Le pensionnaire du Monster Energy RX Cartel, auteur du 7e chrono en Q1, a été le plus rapide dans la deuxième manche. Le Britannique précède son coéquipier Andreas Bakkerud au terme de la première journée, tandis que le wildcard Joni Wiman (Hyundai) réalise de brillants débuts en s’octroyant la 3e position devant Timo Scheider (Seat Ibiza) et Krisztian Szabo (Audi S1).

Despite a few mistakes, Janis Baumanis (Ford Fiesta) is in 6th place ahead of Cyril Raymond (Renault Clio RS RX) and Timur Timerzyanov (Hyundai i20). Author of the second time in Q1, Anton Marklund (Renault Mégane RS RX) had more difficulty in the second heat and only placed 9th position.

It was a difficult day for Team Hansen MJP. Timmy Hansen (Peugeot 208) is only 10th in front of his brother Kevin who precedes former champion Mattias Ekström (Audi S1).

Guerlain Chicherit (Renault Mégane RS RX) is first in the elimination zone, ahead of Guillaume de Ridder (Renault Clio RS RX) and Oliver Bennett (Mini Cooper). Despite great potential, Rokas Baciuszka's replacement, François Duval (Skoda Fabia), is only 16th between Oliver Bennett (Mini Cooper) and Pal Try (Ford Fiesta). Rookie Enzo Ide (Audi S1) is 18th ahead of Hervé Knapick (DS 3) and Grégoire Demoustier (Peugeot 208) who retired due to contact in Q2. Niclas Grönholm (Hyundai i20) is absent this weekend due to appendicitis.
