Spa Rally Rally6: the ideal entry-level option for the national championship

The Spa Rally – the highly anticipated season finale of the 2026 Belgian Rally Championship – will showcase the full spectrum of categories that define the national championship. Fans will eagerly await the Rally2 and RGT machines battling for overall victory. Following close behind are the top Rally3 and Rally4 teams, each contesting their own "rally within a rally". Then, of course, there are the machines from yesteryear – gathered in the Historic and Youngtimer BRC classes – as well as the highly eclectic entry lists for Division 2 and the 2WD Trophy.

And now, Rally6 cars are part of the mix, too. These are machines that closely resemble their road-going counterparts yet are genuine rally cars. This category serves as the sole gateway to this year’s Junior Belgian Rally Championship, featuring talented young guns like Emilien Allart – who has already secured the Junior BRC title! – Nolann Lejeune (leader of the Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup Rally6), and Benoit Wauthier, alongside many other young talents hoping to follow in the footsteps of Belgian and international rally stars.

The RC6 (Rally6) category certainly warrants a closer look. It encompasses the Rally6 versions of the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208, and Lancia Ypsilon HF, proving to be the ideal entry-level formula for the national championship. The concept’s strengths lie in these compact yet authentic rally cars – all built by Stellantis Motorsport – which are available for rent at rates that make them among the most accessible of all modern rally cars.

The Spa Rally, organized by DG Sport, is a premier event that generates plenty of excitement among regional rally drivers – and not just them. They are eager to do whatever it takes to participate in this top-tier event, which also boasts an exceptional setting. We highly recommend that these drivers and teams take a close look at the Rally6 option and gather all the relevant information.

Not only does it allow them to get behind the wheel of compact machines that are powerful, safe, and reliable, but it also gives them the chance to be part of the Stellantis Motorsport Rally Cup for a weekend and enjoy the high-quality support that comes with it. Plus, it is always fun to compare your times with those of the young talents in the national rally championship!

The Rally6 category was specifically created to enable novice or less well-funded drivers and co-drivers to compete in the Belgian Rally Championship, making it both a sensible and an enjoyable choice. 

After all, we can already anticipate a thrilling battle between the Corsa, 208, and Ypsilon models in the Rally6 category over the two legs of this classic Spa rally on Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29!
