INTRODUCTION / WELCOM : 1.1. Word from the President : It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Rally de France - Alsace, the 11th of the thirteen rounds of the FIA World Rally Championship 2010. From 1st to 3rd of October, the best drivers and top teams will be taking the start of this unprecedented event. Alsace, which welcomes you for the first time, offers an impressive variety of road profiles and coatings. The itinerary that is proposed to you has been carefully selected and promises to be particularly selective, ensuring a high level of competition. All Alsace is gathered to make this event a high quality rendez-vous. It is worth noting the strong and unreserved commitment of partners and elected officials in the realisation of this major project. I wish particularly to thank the Region Alsace, the General Councils of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin, the Urban Community of Strasbourg, the cities of Mulhouse and Haguenau - where Loeb was born - and the Crédit Mutuel, the main partner of the event. The first line of a prestigious awards virgin is to be taken and time references are to be established. On behalf of the French Motorsport Federation and its Executive Committee, I wish all success to everyone entering this first Rallye de France - Alsace, and a very pleasant stay in this beautiful region. Nicolas Deschaux Président of the FFSA 3 Rallye Guide 1 1.2. Challenges : An asphalt tradition to perpetuate 2010 marks a big change for the French row of the World Championship since the Rallye de France left Corsica, where it was held for 35 years, to settle in Alsace from September 30 to October 3. Eleventh of the thirteen rounds in the program, the Rallye de France - Alsace will run, from Strasbourg, a com- pletly new route of nearly 1300 kms with 20 Special Stages (10 different, the longest - Pays d’Ormont, develops 35,7 kms, and the shortest Haguenau, develops 4.1 km) totalising about 350 kms. The race will be one of the four on the 2010 calendar to run on an asphalt course. Ideally located in the WRC calendar, the Rallye de France - Alsace could be decisive for the allocation of one or both world titles involved: drivers and manufacturers. Indeed the new points allocation system which came into force this year (25 points to the winner, then 18-15- 12-10-8- 6-4-2-1) opens a possibility of knowing the world champions prior to the final rally of the season. Another plus: in addition to WRC class the French round will be one of only two this year to be eligible for the three WRC Support Championships: J-WRC (Junior), P-WRC (Production) and S-WRC (S2000 ). 1.3.
