TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

All participating vehicles must be genuine 4x4 off-road vehicles. Standard SUVs and pick-ups are not permitted. Vehicles must be equipped with a low-range gearbox (reductiebak), which is essential to ensure true off-road capability.

Tyres
Standard road tyres, All-Terrain and Mud-Terrain tyres are allowed. However, extreme off-road tyres with large, aggressive tread patterns (such as Simex-type tyres) are not permitted in order to protect the terrain.

Wheels & Equipment
It is recommended to use wheels with a maximum size of 20 inches, as larger wheels significantly increase the risk of punctures and damage. In addition, each vehicle must be equipped with a full-size spare wheel.

INFORMATION ABOUT REGISTRATION

Given the limited number of places, we advise to apply as soon as possible. And your application is only deemed valid once your registration is completed and the entry fee is transferred.

Registration opens on the 2nd of April 2026.

The selection committee will meet between 30 April and 30 June to decide which cars will be allowed to participate.

SAFETY AS OUR PRIORITY

As always: safety — of everyone - participants and public — is our priority. The tests are conducted on closed circuits and the cars must comply with all Belgian and European rules of the road during the tour, which is held on public roads. All cars are equipped with a tracking system to ensure their speed is strictly monitored. This further improves the rally’s credentials as an enjoyable and safe event.
