The rally starts with an interesting day of
Regularities and Tests in Flanders over some
well-rallied roads. Along the way there will be
many poignant reminders of the battles fought
between 1914 and 1918. From there its on to Spa,
another famous rally and race town for yet
more competitive sections.

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.

Rallying is a popular sport in these parts and we
are relying on local enthusiasts for some
excellent and varied Tests and Regularities. Our
final rest day is in the Romanian capital
Bucharest where the worlds largest parliamentary
building, constructed in the 1980s by former
dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, will be hard to miss.

the shores of the Black Sea, before heading back
into the mountains around one of Bulgarias major
wine centres, Plovdiv.
