Ten speed stages and more than a hundred pairs in the 55th competition
Almost 70 couples will measure themselves, along with Historic European Championship competitors and amateurs, who will be starting at the 55th Mecsek Rally, this year's fourth round of the Mercarius Rally1 national championship, which will take place from Thursday to Saturday - the organizers announced on Tuesday at their press conference in Pécs.
Tibor Markó, the sports professional leader of the competition, said that this year, the competitions will take place on ten speed stages - a total of almost 150 kilometers - on Friday afternoon and all day Saturday on the asphalt serpentines of Mecsek - winding in the western, central and eastern parts.
This year, the sprints are located between Hetvehely and Golgota, Árpádtető and Orfű, Hatos and Trefortpuszta, as well as Hosszúhetény and Pécsvárad, on which the Hungarian championship is almost 70 - of which 18 cars make up the top line -, the Historic field is represented by about 60 pairs, while the the audience can also watch the - expectedly spectacular - productions of about 20 Eastern car wonders in the field of Just4Fun and 2TaktMemory along the stages.
The organizers expect the largest number of spectators again this year on the section close to the city center of Pécs, on the winding serpentine between Árpádtető-Remeterét-Orfű, therefore the head of the sports industry asked those interested to fully comply with the rules, especially the requests and instructions of the sports judges.
Tibor Markó also reported that those interested in the competition can have fun not only at the speed stages, as there are also many other programs accompanying the event.
On Thursday afternoon, the field of veteran car marvels of the Ypres-Istanbul rally will be hosted on Széchenyi Square in Pécs, the same evening there will be an audience meeting with the stars of the weekend in the service park, while on Friday an exhibition of two-stroke cars will also be organized in the main square of the city, where the starting ceremony will also start at half past five in the afternoon. At the end of the first day of the competition, from 9:30 p.m., there will even be a night racing car exhibition in the Centrum parking lot in Pécs.
According to the rules, due to the serious competition distance, the championship points obtained by the pairs in the Mecsek rally are calculated with a multiplier of 1.2.
