Tulpenrallye 2004

The story of 2004: Route setters Hans Brinkman and André Jetten had made it known before the start of the anniversary edition in 2003 that they would be bringing their activities to an end. That left the committee organising the Tulpenrallye facing a new challenge. After 10 exceptionally successful editions of the International Historic Tulpenrallye, and with the event hugely popular among the competitors, the search for a new route setter had to begin. That was no simple task. The number of available and experienced route setters was limited, and a suitable candidate was not to be found quickly. A conversation with the winners of the Tulpenrallye in 2000, Adrie Brugmans and Jaap Daamen, offered plenty to go on. They had experience of laying out regularity events, but had never yet laid out a large multi-day rally. The committee was impressed by the pair’s ideas and by the care with which they prepared, and therefore decided to go ahead with them, on the understanding that the committee would be on hand to support and assist them wherever needed. Starting abroad had gone down extremely well with the competitors and the organisers in the previous edition, and so it was continued. On the weekend of 8 and 9 May, Beaune, in the heart of France’s Beaujolais region, was taken over by an invasion of classic cars. A number of large transporters were laid on to carry the competing cars, although most crews chose after all to drive their car to the start themselves. In some cases that unfortunately did not work out, and a few crews were unable to reach the start. Poen and Rogier Buijs, for one, crashed their 1965 Ferrari 330GT in the rain on the French motorway and, with heavy damage to the front and rear of the car, were no longer able to start. In the end, 189 crews gathered at the Mercure Hotel in Beaune on Sunday 9 May for the documentation check, and afterwards for the cocktail party in the magnificent Bastion Médieval, built in the 17th century, in the centre of Beaune. For the first day a challenging route had been laid out from Beaune through the Jura, bringing the competitors back to Beaune in the evening. The route had been checked for the last time on the Sunday, but during the night 20 cm of snow fell. Part of the route was impassable and had to be altered. On Tuesday the route ran to Epinal, and from there too a loop was driven. On Wednesday the competitors took in all the great Tulpenrallye cols in the Vosges, returning to Epinal in the evening. On the Tuesday the hotel was unable to serve dinner to all the competitors on time, but on the Wednesday it showed that it did have matters well in hand. By way of the Champagne town of Epernay, where the reception was hosted by sponsor Moët & Chandon and where the Thursday night was spent, the route led on to Ypres. Around this well-known rally town a number of demanding sections were run over the routes of the special tests (“Kemmelberg” and “Dikkebus”) from the rally of the same name, and on the Friday evening the crews were received in the Lakenhal. On Saturday the route ran through Zeeland to the finish in Noordwijk. On the way to the final control at Duinrell, the road book gave the “de Kooltuin” sports ground. That turned out in reality to be Valkenburg military air base, where a 9 km regularity section had been laid out. In that way the tension was kept up right to the finish. The leading competitors included Bert Dolk / Erwin Berkhof, Cock Goedegebuur / Robert Rorife, Eddy van den Hoorn / René Smeets, Hans van Beek / Gerard Heimerikx, Jan Ebus / Jan Berkhof, Karel Westerman / Martin Roosenboom and Renger Guliker / Pim ’t Hart. Bert Dolk won the Tulpenrallye for the third time. He was navigated by Erwin Berkhof, who was only 21 years old. The organisers looked back on a thoroughly successful event. The new route setters had laid out a very fine and challenging route, and helped by the fine weather the atmosphere throughout the event was excellent. The new scoring system proved to work very well and kept the contest exciting right up to the very last day.
