2025 – Leg 1 – Nice – Grenoble

The 71st Tulpenrallye kicked off on Monday morning in Nice, following the welcome dinner the night before. The route heads straight into the Alps, with changing weather conditions — ranging from rain to sunshine. Participants quickly climb above 1,000 metres, later crossing a mountain pass that rises even beyond 2,000 metres. Lunch is served at Restaurant LE JUMP, not far from Gap. In the afternoon, the first regularity stage is on the agenda. The route then continues north through beautiful mountain roads toward the overnight stop in Grenoble. A long and varied opening day full of driving pleasure. The rally is underway!
