The route planners had predicted a stage full of driving pleasure in advance — and they were absolutely right! A day characterized by highly varied terrain. The Pre-2000 class also made its official debut in the Tulpenrallye 2026.
Plenty of circuit action on this rainy day. After lunch, competitors faced bogey times and a flying finish at Circuit de L’Enclos, followed later in the afternoon by a lap consistency test at Moto-Club de Villars and a regularity test at Stellantis Belchamp.
In the evening, an additional evening leg was scheduled for the Expert class. As the standings gradually take shape, the crews drive through the hilly area near Héricourt in the dark. For many participants, this is one of the highlights of the rally and guarantees both challenge and spectacle.
