Rallye Coeur de France added to IRC SE programmeEurosport Events, the promoter of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, is delighted to announce the Rallye Coeur de France as the latest inclusion in its IRC Supporter Event programme - and the inaugural French event to be
run within the IRC framework.
Rallye Coeur de France is one of France's leading asphalt rallies - providing some of the most technically demanding stages in the country. The competitive action on this premier division rally runs between the towns of Tours and Amboise to the backdrop of the stunning Loire valley.
The event will start on August 29 and finishes after two days of flat-out driving on August 30.
Rallye Coeur de France is the seventh Supporter Event to join the IRC, following in the wake of the Arctic Rally - which ran to high acclaim in January. The other events – Sata Rallye Azores, Targa Florio Rally, Safari Rally, Rally Halkidiki and Poland Rally – are all running in the coming months.
The President of Eurosport Events, Jacques Behar, said: "We welcome the Rally Coeur de France into the Supporter Event programme and look forward to getting to know this new partner rally, increasing the event's profile and sharing the values that characterise the events on the IRC calendar.
We are proud to welcome the Rallye Coeur de France into the IRC Supporter Event programme, as the very first rally event in France to fit within the IRC brand."
Philippe Saillant, Vice President of the Rallye Coeur de France, added: "Joining the IRC Supporter Event programme underlines once more the determination of the event organisers, partners and local authorities from the Loire region to make the Rallye Coeur de France one of motorsport's key events, in the finest traditions of rallying."
