Is the main rally not under an International permit (International licence required)? The Historic event is presumably National/NEAFP, whether runing to Appendix K or Brit Hist Championship regs, so Nat A only required.
Oh for the days of old in Belgium with free entry, free accomm (incl service crew) and start money. Prize money only goes to those who don't need it...

You only need a Nat A licence for all the Belgian championship except ypres which is an IRC round.

I agree with the old days but unfortunatly they have banned tobaco advertiseing. I think this type of deal is a lot better than giving the WRC cars start money. It helps the clubman quite a bit and a well driven GpN car should get the money.

We all used to get start money, not just top spec cars! (although not on Flanders - it was the events without UK agents that were the best deals...broke even on direct costs occasionally!).

[merlin]

Now to get the money in they have to sell spectator passes. Hence they want the big cars.

Nothing new there then...

Any drivers who are already sure they will come to Flanders?
