The Tour of Flanders Car Rally is based in the busy City of Roeslare, just under 70 miles from the Port of Calais - a mere 1hour 30 minute drive away. With a regular ferry service from Dover to Calais, it is easy to reach.

The Flanders Car Rally as proved over its 50 years to be one of the most friendly overseas events to compete on, always reserving a special welcome for British and Irish competitors alike.

The 51st Tour of Flanders Car Rally Omloop Van Vlaanderen and 6th

Historic Tour of Flanders will be held

on the 11th -12th September, 2010.

 

In 2005 the first Historic Omloop Van Vlaanderen Historic Tour of Flanders

Car Rally ran independently alongside the Modern event .  The main field of entry for the Flanders Historic Rally comes from the Historic Rally Car Register.  The Historic Tour of Flanders is a round of the MSA British Historic Rally Championship.

 

Servicing for both events is centralized

at the Hallen (Sports Centre) on good tarmac. The centre offers full facilities with a permanent café/bar serving all

day food and drink, and a special set

up for the rally in the main sports hall.

The Flanders Rally stages are all in

close proximity of the Rally Centre

with very limited road mileage. The

cars return to the Hallen at the end of each leg and re-start via a ramp in the main sports hall, where you can drink and dine and see action on a tv screen. This also shows the cars live on their restarts.

One the most successful and popular British drivers to compete on the Flanders Car Rally was the late Tony Pond. Tony enjoyed Belgium, and

was known for taking time out after

the event was over to visit the WW1 airfields on his bicycle. History was

one of his passions.

During the years that the Rover Metro Cup/Challenge was running, Tony Pond

           

was a great inspiration to the young drivers competing for their first time on the Flanders Car Rally and in Belgium.

The Flanders Car Rally takes you close to the historical site of Passendale, remembered for one of the bloodiest and worse British military blunders of World War One.

If Rallying in Flanders teaches you one thing only, it will teach you respect for the lives given in World War One for our freedom today. Be sure to take time out and pay your respect and gratitude to the boys who gave their day for our freedom.

The Flanders Car Rally – Omloop Van Vlaanderen has been won many times by Snijers and Droogmans both these drives

had a close association in their Ford days

with Jeff Churchill of JC Hire, a Welsh based hire company who worked closely with Ford’s competition department at Boreham and offered the latest technology for hire.

Jeff Churchill himself was a very competent driver, although self funded in his Rallying and backed by father Bill.  Jeff always was loyal to Ford and competed in the latest Ford machinery and should have had the honour of being a full works driver.

Jeff is a regular visitor to Belgian rallies and may well be seen around the Flanders Rally stages and service area during the event.  Many of his previously owned Escorts will be competiting there now in the Historic section.

For Competitors of Spectator deals please contact Fairfield Motorsport by telephone on 01 656 725000 or fax on 01 656 725062, E-mail us at info@fairfieldmotorsport.com

John works closely with the organizing team of the Flanders Car Rally / Omloop Van Vlaanderen and will always do his best to answer any queries you have and organize your competitive entry in the modern section of the Rally.

The event for the last few years as been in the Historic Rally Car Championship which as brought many British competitors back to its stages. 

In the heyday of the Peugeot Challenge it was the challenge’s main overseas event and likewise being part of the Rover Metro Challenge/Cup gave many young drivers their first of overseas rallying debut.

For a friendly and enjoyable event come and join us on the Flanders Rally / Omloop Van Vlaanderen !
