For lovers of A Fléché, the trophy Alpine Elf Rally is the best way to express your love for the Berlinette while competing. Launched in 2020, the competition allowed entrants to battle at the wheel of the A110 Rally during different rounds of the French Rally Championship.

« We are all looking forward to launching the second act of the Trophy Alpine Elf Rally. The wait was long before the inaugural edition last year, but it is even longer this year, confides Philippe Sinault, director of Signatech-Alpine. We have laid a strong foundation for the future and we are excited to see it go from strength to strength after a hugely successful first campaign. Whether they are experienced drivers, young hopefuls or gentlemen looking for new challenges, we were able to see that a community was created around the trophy as is already the case on the circuits in Alpine Elf Europa Cup.

This second season should allow us to confirm the growing enthusiasm for the brand Alpine en rally. It's a real pleasure to feel the enthusiasm of the public and there is always a sort of communion when the A110 Rallys pass through the special stages. We would like to thank our partners Michelin, Elf, Bahco and Roole for continuing the adventure alongside us, but also the FFSA and the organizers of each event without whom nothing would be possible. We are convinced that the spectacle will be there again and we are already looking forward to meeting the crews in the most beautiful special stages in our country. »

For this second edition of the Trophy Alpine Elf Rally, the organizers have focused on a calendar of “ six rallies that have marked the history ofAlpine in discipline. » The start of hostilities is planned for the month of April with the Rallye Lyon Charbonnières Rhône before a series of historic rounds in Antibes, Rouergue, Mont-Blanc, Coeur de France and Var.

Via its team dedicated to technical support, Signatech will provide a spare parts service for customers for all trophy events, thus guaranteeing “ perfect fairness between participants. » In addition, a member of the structure led by Philippe Sinault will be responsible for “ to manage and lead the relationship with competitors throughout the season."

Concerning the rewards of this 2nd edition, the bonus system is intended to be “generous” with rewards for the first 5 in the general classification as well as for the best gentleman driver of each race weekend with more than “ €8 in prizes at stake » per weekend. The successor to Julien Saunier, first winner of the trophy, will leave with 5 euros in bonuses and 000 euros in parts vouchers at the Signatech Automobiles store. The winner in the Gentlemen category will also be rewarded.
