Belgium Ypres Westhoek Rally 1999 - Freddy Loix (Champion's)

[rendezvous65]

Can anybody decipher the art of Loix's pacenote system? Not every note has to be translated but just some general terms.

[rendezvous65]

I found out that he uses the steering angle plus the speed. This pace note system has some flaws as that you have to be within the targeted speed and if you aren't then you lose time.

couperen = cut

afond = full trottle

T-1 to 5 left

T-1 to 5 right

hes using metres to corner to corner like 50m 100m 150m ... hes using hes own language and thats flemish sorry about my english its not so good

[rendezvous65]

I believe Sven Smeets is calling out the pace notes in Flemish and not German.

[potoker9]

@yoshibros123456 It's flemish. He's from belgium

[rendezvous65]

The Carisma's really just old Makinen car's. Makinen was the preferred driver and always got new cars while Loix got older used ones.

I think it is a Evo V

[rendezvous65]

No it's an Evo VI. It's labeled a Carisma but it's really the same thing. The display on Sven's side is consistent with an EVO VI.

[rendezvous65]

The front end is consistent with an EVO VI.
