The story is beautiful! Patrick Germain and Philippe Tollemer for Lohéac, Pat and Liam Doran for Lydden Hill. These four enthusiasts decided to organize a vintage event alternately. After Great Britain in 2024, it's Brittany and Lohéac's turn to host a rolling museum with the Lohéac Legend Festival!

Rallycross, Rally, Rally-Raid, four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive, modern, vintage, the organizers of the Lohéac Legend Festival have managed to bring together all the cars that have made the legend of the disciplines associated with the rally. "The term festival, Philippe Tollemer's idea, allows us to count on a very wide range of cars that have made the legend of Rallycross and Rally, specifies Patrick Germain. We are in a festival of originality and the alternation created with Lydden Hill and the Doran family allows us to welcome exceptional models and pilots."

On the model side, with 126 starters, spectators can see the most beautiful models in action, including 36 Group B models. “Philippe Tollemer worked hard to have many different models”, continues Patrick Germain.

Editor's picks!

Obviously the 205 Turbo 16 are among the most popular! “What a noise, what a finish! I’ve always had a soft spot for the 205 Turbo 16, but what a pleasure to see all these cars on track, including the modern ones, including the latest FC2 designed by Andreas Eriksson.”, admits Patrick Germain

Andreas Eriksson took advantage of the Lohéac Legend Festival to bring out a legendary car, his orange Fiesta Rallycross Supercar in Olsberg colors, also seen in the hands of Marcus Grönholm (World Rally Champion 2000 and 2002). Not to be missed!

La Porsche The 911 SC RS 3.0 Group B does not leave us indifferent. 

For Rallycross and Lohéac "purists", this event allows them to see it in action again, like the generous Laurent Chartrain who reconditioned a good "Saxo Challenge watch" for the occasion. "I'm having fun", confided the man who was a reference in Super1600.

As you can see, the 10 people in attendance were blown away! Tickets are still available online or on site for a second exciting day. Don't hesitate!
