Ypres Historic Rally – fired up Janssens takes the win

Former Belgian Historic Rally Champion, Glenn Janssens, has blitzed to an impressive victory on this weekend’s Ypres Historic Rally.

Janssens co-driver Stéphane Prévot, dominated in their Tuthill Porsche 911, wining all the stages bar one in the famous classic two day rally. Hot on their heals was the Opel Ascona of five-time British champion, Jimmy McRae.

“Stage results don’t show the skill and concentration required to win at this level,” said Richard Tuthill. “Glenn’s got exceptional natural pace, which is encouraged by complete trust in his Tuthill Porsche platform and partnership with such an experienced co-driver.

“A long-time European classic, Ypres Historic is the Monaco Grand Prix of the Belgian Historic calendar. To take a convincing win against strong competition underlines the pace of our cars and proves Glenn’s fire to win burns brighter than ever. Well done to Glenn and Stéphane from all of the Tuthill Porsche team.”

It is a busy summer for the Tuthill Porsche team, next weekend is the Festival of Speed, then they have five Porsche rally cars running at Carfest and then there is the small issue of launching a groundbreaking Porsche rally car on this summer’s European WRC events. Top secret at the minute Tuthill tell us but we are assured all will be revealed.
