Tuthill Porsche customer and former Belgian Historic Champion, Glenn Janssens, has taken his first win in the 2014 Yokohama Belgian Historic Rally Championship.
Round three of the 2014 championship was the three-day Rallye de Wallonie. Chased hard from the start by Raphael Borman’s Escort, Janssens could not relax when the Ford hit trouble. Right behind Borman was long-time rival Dirk Devereux in another Escort, closely followed by Patrick Mylleville in a Tuthill-fettled Porsche.
When the chequered flag fell after three days of flat-out action, it was Janssens and experienced co-driver Stefan Prevot out front, and on top of the championship. The Tuthill Porsche team could not contain their excitement with another strong European win.
“The Belgian Historic championship is a true test of rally machinery,” said Richard Tuthill. “The country may look flat, but the courses demand tough cars and precision driving: Glenn excelled himself with this win and rightly takes the championship lead.
“Nothing excites Tuthill Porsche more than great competition. Glenn is a great competitor and a pleasure to work with. The Championship runs to November, so we’ll be working flat out to keep the car on song, ensuring Glenn and Stefan get the support and equipment they need to fight hard and secure a second Championship title.”
Round 4 of the 2014 Belgian Historic Rally Championship is the Sezoens Rally, starting on May 16th. Here’s some video of Glenn in action:
