The Ardeca Ypres Rally, a world class event with international appeal
The Ardeca Ypres Rally, will see its 59th edition being run this year, is a competition with an illustrious history. For many years, the Ypres Rally was one of rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship that all the drivers wanted to win, and in 2021 and 2022 it became the only Belgian rally to be a part of the FIA World Rally Championship. The Ardeca Ypres Rally has a strong international appeal, meaning that we see some of the best international drivers at the start every year. This year the rally is marked on the calendar for 21 and 22 June, with shakedown taking place in Boezinge on Wednesday evening and the qualifying stage in Nieuwkerke on 20 June.
The Ardeca Ypres Rally will host the Belgian Rally Championship this year, with both the Division 1 and Division 2 up for grabs. On Saturday, the longest day of the rally, the D2 event will be held.
The rally headquarters, the stage and the service park are located on the Grote Markt of Ypres, in a unique, historic and, above all, cozy setting.
