WHY RALLY IN BELGIUM?
For many years, tales have been told in the bar at the local motor club of some intrepid rally team who broke out from the British single venue scene and went abroad to sample some foreign tarmac rallying. For years I would look at the reports from these folks and think, one day I will do that but for now, I can’t afford the huge expense of rallying abroad.
But do you know what? We Can! (and do!)
With the advent of the internet and cheap ferry and Eurotunnel crossings, Belgian rallies have become a very easy and cost effective way of getting your rally fix.
We decided to create this website as a guide to UK crews wanting to sample the delights of Belgium and to unashamedly plug the Flanders International Rally Challenge. This is a clubman’s championship set up by a team of Belgian rally lovers to help the foreign crews tackle some of the best closed road rallying available. This must be the easiest and least complicated way of getting to the start of your first foreign closed road tarmac rally.
We hope that the information contained on these pages is useful and hope that experienced crews reading this may wish to add / correct some of the info. You can contact us via the contact page with any questions and if necessary, any amendments.
Technical regulations are always a minefield but we hope that we have simplified them enough to make sense. Also a brief overview of how the rallies work is included as they do tend to run more to FIA schedules than the Brits are used to.
Need to convince the rest of the family? We will include some details of how to turn your rally trip into a short break.
