| With the addition of Ari Vatanen, the Legend Boucles De Spa will now have three former World Champions cross the start line on Saturday. Vatanen, World Champion in 1981, former winner of the Dakar Rally, former member of the European Parliament and opponent to Jean Todt in last year's bid for presidency of the FIA will be reunited with an Opel Ascona of the type that he rallied on his debut in 1974.
This time, he will share the car with his youngest son, Max aged 19. Although a coup for the Boucles De Spa to get Vatanen to the event, he will not actually be competing but rather will be driving a course car designated 'S1' but maybe that will give him even more freedom to play to the crowd!
Ari said "I have heard many good reports of the Legend Boucles De Spa and I have many friends in Belgium so I am pleased to be able to attend with my son"
