Dear friends of historic rallying,
We don't need to explain how the ‘Coppa’ works to our regular participants, but also to those who have competed with us from time to time.
But, from this 20th, the anniversary Coppa, there are some minor changes. Among other things, the ‘rally days’ will be a little shorter, taking into account the age of many of our participants, and several things will be refined and made more participant-friendly - but the usual high quality will not be compromised!
For those who are not yet familiar with our ‘Coppa’, we would like to briefly list a few important things that set us apart from many other events:
At the ‘Coppa’, in addition to regularity sections and also sporadic tests, special emphasis is placed on fair orientation, as was common practice at the time when most of our participating vehicles were built. All tasks, graded according to the various difficulties in our 3 classes (plus GT class), are solvable. You won't find any lazy tricks, such as map manipulation or similar. We will also not work with ‘too modern’ things, neither in the tasks nor in the evaluations. What we don't want is inappropriate ‘modern rally sport including the latest technology’, but with old vehicles. We are old-fashioned in this respect, which is very positively honoured by many participants.
This year we are travelling through 5 countries (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and France), which makes our rally particularly attractive. The ‘old hands’ of the ‘Coppa’ will surely be able to confirm that our routes are among the best you can find north of the Alps. We traditionally stay in good (at least) 4**** hotels, which are included in the entry fee, and our catering is also of a high quality. We also offer a free luggage service and service team. The good camaraderie between us and our starters, who come from over 10 countries, is proverbial.
We would be delighted if you could decide to join us at the start in Maastricht on 26 March 2026....! You can find more information on our website, by e-mail or by phone.
