Que les fans se r\u00e9jouissent, le Britannique Nicky Grist, qui fut \u2013 notamment \u2013 le copilote embl\u00e9matique d\u2019un certain Colin McRae, sera pr\u00e9sent au volant d\u2019une Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185&nbsp;!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 63 ans, Nicky Grist fait partie des piliers de l\u2019histoire du championnat du monde des rallyes. Au cours de la premi\u00e8re d\u00e9cennie d\u2019une carri\u00e8re entam\u00e9e au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es \u201980, il a copilot\u00e9 de nombreux Britanniques, dont David Metcalfe et Malcom Wilson, avant de voguer vers des sph\u00e8res plus internationales, avec Armin Schwarz en Mitsubishi Lancer Evo1 et Juha Kankkunen en Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 puis Celica GT-Four ST205. En cinq saisons, Grist s\u2019imposait \u00e0 quatre reprises avec le Finlandais.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En 1997, Nicky entamait une nouvelle page importante de sa carri\u00e8re dans les rangs de Subaru et Prodrive, en compagnie d\u2019un certain Colin McRae&nbsp;! D\u00e8s le Safari Rally, le duo imposait l\u2019Impreza S5 WRC, avant de r\u00e9cidiver au Tour de Corse, en Chine, au Sanremo, en Australie et au RAC Rally&nbsp;! Ce qui valait au duo le titre de vice-champion du monde.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Une s\u00e9rie de victoires qui se prolongeait en 1998, avec des succ\u00e8s au Portugal, au Tour de Corse, \u00e0 l\u2019Acropole, en Chine, et un top 3 au championnat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D\u00e9butait ensuite la p\u00e9riode Ford, avec la l\u00e9gendaire Ford Focus WRC de la premi\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, aux couleurs de Martini, avec des victoires au Safari \u201899, \u00e0 l\u2019Acropole \u201999, au Catalogne 2000, \u00e0 l\u2019Acropole 2000, en Argentine, \u00e0 Chypre et \u00e0 l\u2019Acropole 2001, puis \u00e0 l\u2019Acropole et au Safari en 2002. De cette p\u00e9riode restent aussi en m\u00e9moire quelques sorties de route tr\u00e8s spectaculaires, qui ont marqu\u00e9 l\u2019histoire de la discipline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicky Grist retrouvait Colin McRae lors de quelques \u00e9preuves sous les couleurs de Skoda en 2005, mais aussi celles de Kronos en 2006, lors du Rallye de Turquie. La disparition accidentelle de l\u2019Ecossais en 2007 allait mettre un terme \u00e0 la carri\u00e8re r\u00e9guli\u00e8re du copilote Britannique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, Grist s\u2019est produit avec sa Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 lors de diff\u00e9rentes d\u00e9monstrations, notamment lors de l\u2019Eifel Rallye Festival, en compagnie d\u2019Ellie Williams. C\u2019est donc une tranche oh combien prestigieuse de l\u2019histoire du rallye qui va se retrouver \u00e0 Vresse-sur-Semois au beau milieu des fans. Gageons que l\u2019embl\u00e9matique copilote britannique ne sera pas avare en anecdotes lorsqu\u2019on lui parlera de sa longue collaboration avec la l\u00e9gende Colin McRae\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Le rendez-vous est pris&nbsp;!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alors que les engagements en vue de l\u2019Ardenne Rally Festival 2025 continuent de rentrer, de quoi promettre trois jours d\u2019intense [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"acf":{"vhrs":false,"show_group":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nicky Grist au d\u00e9part de l\u2019Ardenne Rally Festival 2025\u00a0!
