Ypres organisers target 30 Super 2000 cars

Organisers of the Geko Ypres Rally, round six of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge from 24-26 June, are hopeful of attracting 30 Super 2000 cars for the asphalt event.

With a little more than two weeks to go until entries close for the 46th running of the rally, event manager Alain Penasse has confirmed there are already 27 S2000 cars on the provisional list of registrations with more in the pipeline.

"There is huge interest and it’s high quality also, which makes this a very exciting rally," said Penasse. "We have 27 Super 2000 cars and we’d very much like to breach the barrier of 30 cars, which would be the first time a rally has achieved that."

So far, 76 crews have entered the Belgian event, which can accommodate a total of 90 cars. Entries close at 24:00hrs on 11 June and organisers are urging competitors not to delay submitting their registrations based on the high level of interest.
