Ardenne Rally Festival Demo on Friday and D2 on Saturday? Yes, you can!
As previously announced, the 2026 Ardenne Rally Festival will have a number of new features on Friday, May 29th, and Saturday, May 30th. The rally centre will move to Allé-sur-Semois, and in addition to the traditional demonstration runs of historic rally cars, there will also be a new round of the Belgian Rally Championship Division 2! The great history of rallying will unfold over the two days, and fans of a bit of competition will get their money's worth on Saturday.
Is the Ardenne Rally Festival a combination of two worlds? Yes and no. DG Sport is giving BRC D2 teams that run a car from the past, or own one, the opportunity to participate in both parts of the event!
This Demo-D2 combination could well be a good fit for many people, as the demonstration runs on Friday afternoon could double as full-scale test sessions!
It goes without saying that this dual entry is only valid for participants with a car that meets all the selection criteria for starting the Ardenne Rally Festival in Demo mode, whether it's in the "Original," "Replica," or "Historic" category. Participants who start on Friday with a different (and selected) car than on Saturday are also eligible. In any case, passing the technical scrutineering for the Demo and D2 is mandatory!
Teams interested in this dual entry can indicate this by checking an additional box on their D2 entry form. This option is offered for €350.
There will be something for everyone in the Semois region on May 29th and 30th, with a Demo-D2 combo adding an extra touch of originality to the Ardenne Rally Festival.
