With almost a hundred teams that have already registered for the first edition of the Ardenne Rally Festival on Thursday 2nd<\/sup>, Friday 3rd<\/sup> and Saturday 4th<\/sup> of May in Vresse-sur-Semois, DG Sport has already succeeded in arousing the curiosity of many a rally fan. There will be many original cars at the start, but some replicas will also ensure that everybody can browse through the history of rallying…<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the term ‘replica’ doesn’t have to be negative! As previously announced, a selection committee went through the many registration requests, to retain only the most beautiful cars. After all, not everyone has the means to acquire a Gr. 4, Gr. B, Gr. A or a WRC\u2026 but passion goes a long way and can be used to achieve beautiful things, completely in the spirit of the cars of the past!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the younger spectators, these replicas also provide a nice picture of rally history and an overview of the different rules that were followed. One can jump from a rally car from the 60s to a first-generation World Rally Car, in just a few minutes! A beautiful time machine, in short\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the demo runs, the oldest ‘clones’ will be represented by a Mini Cooper ex-M\u00e4kinen, Renault 8 Gordini ex-Nicolas or a Simca Rallye 3 ex-Snobeck, followed by a Talbot Sunbeam Ti ex-Jacquemin, Talbot Sunbeam Lotus ex-Toivonen, Lancia Fulvia HF ex-Munari, Fiat 131 Abarth ex-Andruet, Ford Escort Mk1 ex-Mikkola, Alpine A110 ex-Th\u00e9rier, Vauxhall Chevette ex-Jimmy McRae, Lancia Stratos ex-Waldegard, Triumph TR7 V8 ex-Pond, Porsche 911 SC ex-Beguin, Porsche 911 SC RS ex-Toivonen and Droogmans, Opel Ascona B ex-Biasion, Ford Escort Mk2 ex-Brooks, Mikkola, Vatanen, Waldegard and Airikkala, Renault 5 Alpine Gr. 2 ex-Ragnotti, Renault 5 Turbo ex-Ragnotti and Saby, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Audi Quattro, whose four-wheel drive system revolutionized rallying, will of course be represented as well, with copies of cars driven by Walter R\u00f6hrl, whether it is a Quattro A2, a Quattro Sport or 200 Quattro. Recent rally history is also highlighted, with twins of the Peugeot 306 Maxi ex-Delecour, Opel Astra GSI ex-Loix, Renault Clio Maxi ex-Munster, Toyota Celica GT-Four ex-Sainz, Toyota Corolla WRC ex-Sainz, Auriol and Loix, Subaru Legacy Turbo ex-Colin McRae, Subaru Impreza 555 ex-Holowczyc, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo6 ex-M\u00e4kinen, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During three days, you will be able to admire many pages from the great history book of rallying.
