Indeed, rally in Lithuania has a history. Rally stars are remembered here for decades. In Russia as well as in Western countries, the names of our several rally masters are forever included into the Great Books of the most beautiful branch of motor sports. There are really solid arguments allowing to state that Lithuania is a rally country.

 

The economy of Lithunia is growing. Every year more and more viewers are attracted by competitions in special stages. Rally is reviving in all senses: higher competition level from technical and organizational point of view, car possibilities as well as culture of the viewers and participants. Where from does this progress come ? Not only due to increasing economy for sure. Having counted basketball stars, we should make calculations how many much more powerful and sightworthy cars in Lithuania fall on a thousand of residents, compared to ordinary vehicles. „Petrol“ indeed is present in blood of Lithuanians, therefore rally was here, is today and will be in future.

We have everything that is needed: good roads with solid gravel covering where fast and exciting competition stages are prepared, common infrastructure which allows to ensure the sufficient service and security level to the participants and the viewers, friendly people and warm atmosphere of rally championship of the country. Besides, Lithuanian girls are the most beautiful in Europe.

What makes Lithuanian rally so attractive for guests from abroad ?
No communication problems, guests from foreign countries are always in the focus of attention here. Rally documents are made ready in Lithuanian and English as well, the rules basically correspond to FIA rally regulations. It is also important that prices for participation in the competition are „friendly“ to the budget of your team: start competition fee is about 350 Euros. The crews which have participated in not less than three championship stages have a possibility to contest for a championship total position in any of A8, N4, N3 classes.

Every crew wants to make certain of its power not only in local competitions but also in real „battle“ conditions when special stages are new, the competitors are unfamiliar, and the driving speed actually depends not only on minor fortunes nor unfortunes in routes known by heart, but on the precision of stenograph just written down for the first time, possibilities and harmony of the crew and reliability of enginery. It may be for sure that Lithuanian rally championship is the best place for such self-challenge.

Long ago the days are gone by when marshals and officers were using manual chronometers. Today you can come, rent a rally car with maintenance team and enjoy good solid gravel enginery saving special stages, improve driving skills here in Lithuania.

The rather that competition schedule is „one day“ – Friday is dedicated to reconnaissance, on Saturday the competition takes place, and Sunday is a day off.

Lithuanian rally championship 2008 consists of seven stages: one - in winter, the other five take place later in spring, summer and autumn throughout all the regions of the country and one in Latvia.
