See you in 2023 for the Lohéac Legend Festival

After the success of the Rallycross Legend Show which occurs during the rounds of the French Rallycross and World RX championship, in Lohéac among others, fans of Rallycross and Rally have a new event to discover: the Lohéac Legend Festival!

At the heart of the venue which has seen Rallycross develop in France and around the world, enthusiasts will be able to see “ the cars that made Rallycross and Rally famous » during a two-day event scheduled for May 20 and 21, 2023. On site, fans will be able to attend activities including drivers' parades in the village, concerts, events on the track, historic races, club areas, Fan Zone, Pilots Club, etc…

Philippe Tollemer, creator of the Rallycross Legends Show: “ The success of the Rallycross Legends Show in France called for international development and I am very happy that the Lohéac Legend Festival can see the light of day, moreover, in Lohéac. The idea emerged during a conversation with Jean-Jacques Bénézet, the President of AFOR, promoter of the French Rallycross Championship. The numerous contacts I have with other drivers, but also with the public, have convinced me that there is a real demand and a real enthusiasm for historic vehicles. The proximity between Rallycross and Rally cars is obvious and they will logically be associated in this event which can be described as a “Lohéac Classic”. If the first edition is launched today, we are also working on this festival being held in Mettet in Belgium, and we already have the date of August 5 and 6, 2023 in the cards, as well as in Great Britain »

Patrick Germain, President of the Lohéac Rallycross: “ When Philippe Tollemer told me about this project, with my steering committee, we immediately said yes! The success of the Rallycross Legends Show could only continue during a weekend focused on passion and festivities. No longer having the constraints of a championship, we have carte blanche to innovate and whether it is our 600 volunteers, the Manoir de l'Automobile or Lohéac with its inhabitants and its vital forces, we will mobilize as we know so well do it to offer a memorable weekend »

Michel Hommell, creator of the Lohéac Rallycross and owner of the Manoir de l’Automobile: “ When Patrick Germain told me about this project, I was immediately excited. The Lohéac Legend Festival fits perfectly into the DNA of Lohéac, made up of modern and vintage racing cars in a festive and popular atmosphere. We now have a year to offer an event that meets expectations! »

Information regarding Lohéac Legend Festival ticketing will be communicated soon, the organization indicated.
