Nu zondag 23 april is de regio van Beaumont en de meren van l’Eau d’Heure het decor voor de Rallye Salamandre. Organisator Hainaut Motor Club verwacht niet minder dan 150 deelnemers voor een ongetwijfeld spectaculaire en spannende strijd op de uitdagende proeven. Proeven die ons de hoogtepunten van de Bianchi Rally laten herbeleven met spectaculaire passages in Leval, Thirimont, Renlies et Strée.
De wedstrijd telt mee voor het ASAF kampioenschap (Div 4, Div 3-2-1, PH, SR), de WRC 2.0 Challenge, Classic Rally Challenge, Flanders International Rally Challenge en het RAC Historic Asphalt Championship. Er staan dan ook heel wat buitenlanders aan de start. De grootste delegatie komt van over de plas met een 50 Engelse deelnemers.
Bij de moderne wagens staan er enkele snelle EVO’s aan de start die het moeten opnemen tegen de Ford Fiesta WRC van Vincent Christiann. Daarnaast is het ook uitkijken naar enkele ‘speciale’ wagens. Huw Reed en Ashley Field brengen een Darrian 2500 aan de start, David Tinn een Proton S 2500.
Bij de historics 3 Porsche 911’s waaronder deze van Rudy Buyse. Met 31 op 47 wagens bestaat het grootste deel van de historic wagens echter uit Ford Escort’s. Zo staan naast enkele Engelse toppers bijvoorbeeld ook Paul Lietaer en Gunther Monnens aan de start. En ook de winnaar van de vorige editie, de Zwitser Florian Gonon, is van de partij.
