It promises to be a very explosive Saturday, where fans won&#8217;t know where to look first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The common point between the historic demo runs and the D2 competition is the course: the four demo stages for the former become the timed stages for the latter! On May 30<sup>th<\/sup>, these stages are on the program in the region around the Semois:\u00a0<strong>Rochehaut<\/strong>\u00a0(14.49 km), also known as the former Vivy stage which is now run in the reverse direction;\u00a0<strong>Bellefontaine<\/strong>\u00a0(15.34 km), with two passes through the triangle formed by Bellefontaine, Monceau-en-Ardenne and Petit-Fays, after which the second part heads towards Les Hautes Roches; the\u00a0<strong>Circuit of Gedinne<\/strong>\u00a0(18.53 km), featuring an initial show section on the famous track \u2013 no fewer than three passes! \u2013 followed by a finish in Sart-Custinne; and\u00a0<strong>Bourseigne<\/strong>\u00a0(10.35 km), one of the most important new features this year, starting in Vencimont and following a route that winds towards Bourseigne-Neuve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For historic car enthusiasts, this constitutes 112.98 km of demonstration runs and a 242.94 km road section. Not bad! Two passes are scheduled on each of the stages, with a return to Alle-sur-Semois in the early afternoon (podium at 14:21), and the finish for the first participants around 19:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ardenne Rally Festival program in BRC2 mode is even more packed, featuring the Circuit of Gedinne and Bourseigne twice, but also\u2026 three times Rochehaut and Bellefontaine! At 8:30, the first car crosses the podium in Alle-sur-Semois, followed by a first return to the service park at noon (podium at 12:48). The second loop ends at 17:51 (podium), followed by a final half-loop and the celebratory finish at 20:16! By then, the names of the first winners of the Ardenne Rally Festival in speed rally format will be known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the fans, it promises to be a jam-packed day! Some will prefer the legendary rally cars, others pure competition, and still others a combination of the two\u2026 before everyone heads to Alle-sur-Semois for the festive closing of an event that promises to be as intense as it is spectacular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to the relocation of the competition&#8217;s HQ from Vresse-sur-Semois to Alle-sur-Semois, the major novelty this year is that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17074,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ardenne-rally-festival-2026"],"acf":{"vhrs":false,"show_group":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Demo and D2 ensure a jam-packed Saturday!
