2. The rally starts with an interesting day of Regularities and Tests in Flanders over some well-rallied roads. Along the way
there will be many poignant reminders of the battles fought between 1914 and 1918. From there it’s on to Spa,
another famous rally – and race – town for yet more competitive sections.

3. The next few days see us enter Germany and drive through
the Eifel with its wonderful winding roads and lush
vegetation. Then, onwards through the former East
Germany, where away from the main cities, one could often
imagine being in the 1960s, before arriving in the Czech
capital Prague for our first rest day.

4. Fully refreshed, we head southeast through the
Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Romania –
four countries in five days.

5. Rallying is a popular sport in these parts and we
are relying on local enthusiasts for some excellent
and varied Tests and Regularities. Our final rest day
is in the Romanian capital Bucharest where the
world’s largest parliamentary building, constructed
in the 1980s by former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu,
will be hard to miss.

6. From Bucharest we head east and spend a night on the shores of the
Black Sea, before heading back into the mountains around one of
Bulgaria’s major wine centres, Plovdiv.

9. Hospitality:
We strive to provide the best quality accommodation
available. In some of the remoter parts of the route our

locations the hotels will be top quality.

10. Navigation:
Non-competitive sections will be defined by a
detailed tulip Road Book. Regularity and Time
Control Sections may involve Road Book, map or
other methods of defining the route. However there
will be no “tricks”.
