2016 Reject Rally Trophy
|
Previous: 2015 |
Next: 2017 |
The 2016 Reject Rally Trophy season is the inaugural season of the RRT rallying competition, featuring six manufacturers from around the globe. Legendary rallying marques Peugeot and Ford, alongside previous top names Suzuki and Hyundai, plus newcomers Lada and Great Wall, all entered factory efforts, along with customer teams for those marques.
The calendar incorporated many classis rallies from days gone, with visits to Monte Carlo, Sanremo, "Safari" (Kenya), Acropolis, and Japan. There will also be new events, primarily Rally China, thanks to the investment from native car maker there Great Wall into the sport.
Alongside the main series runs a support class, RRT², which exclusively runs Trabant 601s converted to rally specification.

Rally Calendar
The RRT calendar visits a variety of rallies, picking classic events from years gone by and grouping them together in a 19 leg world tour. Two rallies make their top-level debut - Barum Rally Zlin, a famous ERC round run entirely on Tarmac, and another sealed surface event with a prestigious past, the Belgium Ypres, which for the 2016 edition will run its final leg out to the Spa-Francorchamps circuit as part of the Spa SuperPrix.
