Now in its 19th year, this years European Ford Event promises to be
bigger and better than ever.
and probably the last time on this location!! We aim for something much
Bigger in 2010, updates following after the event in Landgraaf.
The Ford XR/RS club of Holland will once again be holding their
huge XR/RS show (3000 people) on September 13th 2009.
After several successful years at Baarlo Speedway Track, and at Sevenum,
both near Venlo, the show moved south in 1999 to the
large Sports Stadium at Landgraaf.
The Show
There is usually an attendance of over 3000 vehicles, with Ford clubs
from all over Europe, and it is an opportunity to see all the stuff
you have never seen before. RS2600’s, 2-door Sierra XR, Taunus, German
Spec RS1600i’s, etc, etc. Dutch insurance rules allow any modification
except bhp at no extra cost, so they are into
customizing / modifications in a big way. UK Fords have taken many of
the honors in the concours, so if you have a tidy motor, get it entered.
They prefer totally original, even with the odd
scratch, rather than mint but restored. And you don’t need the RSOC
logbook. The XR/RS club traditionally run sprint events down the track
all day. Anyone can participate. Especially the sprint-
races are favoured by all Ford-fans and are a guarantee for a lot of
spectacle and quite a few embarrased drivers ... !
With the meeting being a 1-day event, the Saturday is normally
"Nurburgring-Day" for the RSOC-members who come over to Holland for
the weekend.
This legendary circuit (over 14 miles long) is just a one hour drive
away from Landgraaf.
The XR owners club shall be there like every year and shall display
there selfs on the Club-Lane!
