Rehearsal at Rally van Staden

The organizers of the 11e Rally van Staden must have been delighted to see requests for entry from numerous drivers wishing to carry out a full-scale test session before the 9the meeting of the world championship. Staden is located 21 km northeast of the city of cats, which means that its asphalt course has the same characteristics as the WRC. Yohan Rossel is on the starting list with his C3 Rally2, but he is not the only WRC2 candidate to have seized this opportunity. Andreas Mikkelsen (Skoda), Stéphane Lefebvre (C3), Marco Bulacia (Skoda), Nikolay Gryazin (Skoda) and Chris Ingram (Skoda) did the same. The Belgian drivers who plan to perform in the elite are also at the start to practice their ranges. Patrick Snijers, Vincent Verschueren and Gino Bux will try to make their mark to shine at home. None of these drivers will be classified at the arrival of this van Staden which counts for the historic championship of Flanders and the 1-2 division of Flanders.
