RTG Ypres to Istanbul mini-brochure FINAL - Flipbook - Page 2
20 days (18 driving), 5,500 km, “To the edges of the Orient”
A
brand-new event on the Rally the Globe calendar will take us from
Belgium’s rally capital of Ypres to Istanbul.
The rally starts with an interesting day of
Regularities and Tests in Flanders over some wellrallied roads. Along the way there will be many
poignant reminders of the battles fought between
1914 and 1918. From there it’s on to Spa, another
famous rally – and race – town for yet more
competitive sections.
Ypres
Prague
Bucharest
The next few days see us enter Germany and drive
through the Eifel with its wonderful winding roads
and lush vegetation. Then, onwards through the
former East Germany, where away from the main
cities, one could often imagine being in the 1960s,
before arriving in the Czech capital Prague for our
first rest day.
Fully refreshed, we head southeast through the
Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Romania - four
countries in five days. Rallying is a popular sport in
these parts and we are relying on local enthusiasts
for some excellent and varied Tests and Regularities.
