Dear Rally Friends,
Preparations for the 69th Tulpenrallye are proceeding as planned. Almost all volunteer positions have been filled again. We have started the production of promotional materials, printed materials and clothing. The applications for exemptions and permits were sent out some time ago and we are closely monitoring the feedback we get. The starting field is well filled, with a limited number of places available. So, maybe a chance for family, friends and acquaintances to participate in the Tulpenrallye?
Important news is that the Conformity check (Prologue) for Dutch equipes will be moved from Saturday, April 22 to Saturday, April 15 of 2023. This will be adjusted in the final regulations.
The Organizing Committee looks to meeting all participants, Partners/Sponsors and volunteers during the Conformity check (Prologue) on April 15, 2023 and the rally starting on May 7, 2023!
Kind regards,
Organizing Committee 69th Tulpenrallye

Rally car transport
Many participants annually make use of the car transport offered by the Tulpenrallye using Logicx trucks. This is an important part of Logicx’s sponsorship. For many participants, it is a relaxed idea that the rally car is ready at the starting location without having to drive the approach route to the starting location.
In this edition of the Tulpenrallye, flying or taking the train to the start location is a logistical challenge. The nearest airport for scheduled services is Lyon, about 2.5 hours’ drive from Vichy. Getting there by train is not easy either. Together with our sponsor Logicx we offer transfer by car/minibus from the airport to the Headquarter in Vichy. This service is exclusively for participants who that make use of the Tulpenrallye transport service powered by Logicx. The rally car will then be ready in Vichy. We offer this service on Saturday and Sunday. This offer also applies to anyone who has already booked car transport upon registration.
Car transport from 6 locations in the Netherlands, including transfer from the airport to Vichy, will cost €450. If you want to make use of this offer, all you need to do is send an e-mail to rallyoffice@tulpenrallye.nl. Make sure to mention at which location you wish to hand in the car. The choices are: Apeldoorn, Den Bosch, Valkenburg, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Oosterhout, all situated in The Netherlands. There is a maximum of 40 places.

Partnerrallye
Once again, this year there will be a Partnerrallye from Luxembourg to Valkenburg. This Partnerrallye is exclusively for guests of the Partners and Sponsors of the Tulpenrallye. It is worth mentioning that the Partnerrallye is not only a relation event for our sponsors but also brings some new participants every year. We expect a lot of enthusiasm for this final rally day again this year.
