Rally France is the showcase of the Federation’s expertise, and it provides the FFSA with an exceptional opportunity to innovate and achieve irreproachability. With two weeks to go to the official presentation of the 2014 event, the overall summary of the 2013 rally by the Federal team confirms the progress made in terms of general organisation, safety, protection of the environment and promotion.
“The 2013 Rally France-Alsace was another great success from a sporting, media and popular point of view. This must-attend event for motor sport fans met the expectations of the Federation and all its partners. It is eagerly awaited by all the people involved in the organisation whose innovations will be announced in two weeks,” said a delighted Dominique Serieys, the director of Rally France-Alsace.
“Thus all the right conditions are in place for the fifth event between 2-5 October to help them enjoy a great sporting and human adventure in an exceptional setting.”
