WRC RENTIES YPRES RALLY BELGIUM
IA and WRC Promoter today confirmed an adjusted 2020 WRC calendar, with Renties Ypres Rally Belgium joining the fixture list for the first time. The asphalt event takes over the prestigious season-closing slot as the final round in Japan is called off due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.
Belgium will host a round of the FIA World Rally Championship for the first time after Renties Ypres Rally Belgium was added to the 2020 calendar. The asphalt event will take place on 19-22 November, replacing Rally Japan as the eighth and final round of the season.
Japan’s return to the WRC after a 10-year hiatus has been regrettably called off due to border entry restriction policies imposed by the government due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Belgium will become the 34th nation to stage a WRC round since the series started in 1973.Ypres was first held in 1965 and has become established as one of Europe’s most demanding rallies. Previous winners include current Hyundai Motorsport WRC driver and home hero Thierry Neuville in 2018 and team-mate Craig Breen last season.
It will feature about 300km of special stages across three full days of competition. Sunday’s final leg will be focused on the iconic Spa race circuit, with the rally-closing Wolf Power Stage featuring the famous Eau Rouge / Raidillon section of the track.
A service park in the heart of Ypres’ historic Grote Markt will be the rally hub and Simon Larkin, WRC Promoter’s senior director events, said the rally would provide a unique test for competitors.
