An event can be the high-point of the Belgian rally season and one of the key races of the European Rally Championship and Intercontinental Rally Challenge but still remain accessible for the amateur drivers without whom rallying would not be the discipline it is. This is what the Geko Belgium Ypres Rally will prove again on 25 and 26 June by being one of the main event of no less than four single-make cups.
Promotion cups are without doubt the best way for young talented drivers to gain experience in road racing and prove their metal. They are also the perfect way to get noticed by the rest of the rallying community, especially when you line yourself up at the start of an international event like the Geko Ypres Rally. The organisers of the Citroën Racing Trophy Benelux, the Ford Fiesta Sport Trophy, the Peugeot 207 RC Cup and the Renault Clio R3 European Trophy clearly share our opinion as they all put the Geko Ypres Rally on their calendar. Given the intensity of these battles with equal weapons, one knows the heat will sure be on!
