The calendar this year of the French Gravel Championship:
1. Rallye Terre de Provence (4-5 April)
2. Rallye Terre de l'Auxerrois (1-3 May)
3. Rallye Terre de Diois (6-7 June)
4. Rallye Terre de Langres (25-26 July)
5. Rallye Terre de Causses (29-30 August)
6. Rallye Terre de Cardabelles (10-11 October)
7. Rallye Terre de Vaucluse (14-15 November)

'Terre' is the French word for gravel.

Almost all cars are allowed to drive there: WRC, Group A, Group N, S2000, S1600, Kit Car's, R3 and R2 cars, Historic cars, 2WD cars... Good news is that older cars like as example a Celica GT-Four, Celica Turbo 4WD, Escort RS Cosworth, Impreza 555, 306 Maxi and even Lancia Delta Integrale are allowed. If your client drives a Group N Mitsubishi or Subaru, he can drive with a bigger restrictor in Group A if he want.

There is a Peugeot 207 R3T Cup with this weekend Brice Tirabassi as a driver. Foreign drivers in that cup are Laurent Reuche from Switzerland and Karl-Friedrich Beck from Germany.

Belgian drivers are very happy about this championship. Dominique Bruyneel (Impreza WRC S5) leads the championship now and Bernard Munster (Octavia WRC) is driving the whole championship too. Other Belgians that drives or drove some rounds of the championship this year are Patrick Snijers, Claudie Tanghe, Andy Gaban (Citroën C2 R2 Max), Belgian Group N champion 2008 Stéphane Lhonnay (now with Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 - A8), Bob Colsoul (Lancer Evo 10 - N4), Cédric Cherain (Subaru Impreza WRX STI - N4)... Former multiple champion from Switzerland, Olivier Burri, did a rally in this championship this year too with a Group N Impreza.
