Ardenne Rally Festival First day between Vresse-sur-Semois and Orchimont

With three passes on the demo stages of Vresse-sur-Semois and Orchimont, the Friday stage of the Ardenne Rally Festival will be more than worthwhile. It is not only an excellent opportunity to set out the first lines but also to let the fans enjoy the spectacle to the fullest.

The cars admitted to the start will commence the inaugural edition of the Ardenne Rally Festival at 9 a.m., with a first passage across the starting ramp... before tackling the first demo run a few hundred meters further down the road! DG Sport had promised a fun event, and with the first stage just after the podium, spectators can enjoy the friendly atmosphere in the centre of Vresse and the spectacle of the iconic rally cars at the same time...

For this opener, the organisers of the Ardenne Rally Festival created a stage of 6.04 km, with a climb towards Conrad, followed by a descent towards Membre. An interesting route, providing all participants with the opportunity to immediately immerse themselves in the atmosphere!

The second stage of the day is also the longest of the week: Orchimont is 14.09 km long. The start consists of a show section, two laps around the church of Nafraiture, where there is also a drinks stand! Then it goes towards Orchimont, before descending towards the foot of the famous Bellefontaine hill. Once that climb is completed, the route takes the participants towards Petit-Fays, with a finish at the entrance of Monceau-en-Ardenne.

In total, the participants will complete approximately 60 kilometres of demo stages that day.
