Conrad Euregio Rally 2008 Results and videos: Dutch rally champion Erik Wevers wins his sixth event of the series this year

Erik Wevers claimed his sixth victory of the Dutch championship this year on the final round the Euregio Rally in his Ford Focus RS WRC 06.

Conditions were wet and muddy during the event and Wevers took the lead from the start ahead of Rene Kuipers in a S12 WRC. Kuipers retired though, with engine management problems on SS11 and this allowed Peter van Merksteijn jr into second driving an 07 Focus. 

Third went to Dennis Kuipers in a Focus 06 who finished just ahead of Dirk Boers Subaru S7. Martin van den Brink won Group N in an Evo 9 finishing 8th overall.
