There is room for two events of this type but not one week apart
”It’s clear that it’s complicatedadmits organizer Yves Matton. Not only with the competition with these two other rallies, but also with the concordance of dates with the modern Wallonia, the Spa Revival and historic races at Francorchamps, the Rallye du Maroc and the Tour Auto. But interest in this type of demo exists. We will simply have to find a better date in 2025. There is room in Belgium I think for two rallies of this type, but six months apart, not a week!”
In the meantime, the first of the Rally4Passion takes place this weekend with two specials this Friday at 6:45 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. (departure in reverse order of numbers) near Ben-Ahin, one of the Condroz classics but especially the garden of Yves Matton . “There will be a show part and therefore the public will be able to see the cars pass six times near the Solières mill where there will be a lot of entertainment. The entry price is set at 10 euros for the evening. 7 euros for the rest of the special with the passage towards the famous Cabin.”
Audi Quattro Sport and R5 Maxi Turbo
On Saturday, the competitors will compete in two loops of four special stages after the modern stages of the Rallye de Wallonie.
No foreign star, alas, for this premiere nor François Duval or Thierry Neuville, but all the same four big names of Belgian rallies with Bruno Thiry on a Ford Escort Cosworth Group A in Giesse colors, Grégoire Munster on a Martini example, Robert Droogmans in a Porsche 911 and GO Yves Matton in his Toyota Celica GT Four. In addition to Xavier Baugnet in Fiesta S2000 or even a Toyota Corolla WRC, Audi Quattro Sport Evo2 or Renault Maxi 5 Turbo. Enough to have a good nostalgia evening with the key word of this Rally for Passion: pleasure.
