Sam Tickell was at the The Rally van Haspengouw and it signals the start of the Belgian Rally Championship season. Around Sint-Truiden, fields still damp from winter frame narrow farm roads that test drivers straight from the off. It’s less about spectacle, more about sharpness—finding rhythm after months away.
Crews return with fresh cars, new co-drivers, and cautious optimism. Locals line the lanes, wrapped in scarves, watching the familiar roar cut through the countryside. There’s a sense of routine here that feels reassuring: a new year, same challenge.
Our gallery captures that atmosphere—mud-splattered cars, quick hands on the wheel, and the understated charm of a rally that never needs to shout.
