PAGINA 3 - VOORWOORD
Dear Competitor friends, It appears to me that the organizers of the Winter Trial are trying to find the most challenging roads in Europe for you. This time you even have to travel up north, close to the polar circle were the roads are guaranteed 100% covered with Winter Trial snow. It must be a dream to drive the roads were so many rally champions lived and had their education in the backyard. Not how to be the best in school, but how to be faster on gravel snow or ice than the neighbours and these snow shy Europeans. I envy you, being able to play around on these holly rally roads. Again I will be there to wave you out, wish you success and have a week full of excitement, fun and camaraderie. By now you should understand that I am a real fan of you, your sport and your cars and again I am here with a full agenda ahead of me. But having said that, just keep pushing me and one day I will be there. Have a wonderful Winter Trial and I look forward to meet you at the start in Sunvolden. Jan Peter Balkenende

PAGINA 5 - VOORWOORD
The 15th Winter Trial. Fifteen years ago the idea was to organise one winter Trial and we did, without knowing that now 15 years later we are still organising this wonderful event. This is spite of the fct that authorities, landowners and all those organisations which we need so badly, are making things a little bit more complicated year after year. In fact to a point where you are asking yourselves is it worth all this trouble. Fortunately we have wonderful friends helping us out on knocking on doors of land owners asking for permission to ruin there front door roads , to plough the snow just in time for us to pass. Thank you Tom Granli, thank you Jan Meester and thank you Jonas Ohman for fighting burocracy. Just to give you an example, we need to hand in our route 6 months in advance, than it goes silent and only weeks before the event we do get (or not) the permissions. Are we discouraged, no we are not. As long as it possible to enjoy our hobby we will do so and in fact we go even further. Some 10 years ago I had a dream. The dream was about a new concept that had crossed my mind when I met again with an old rally friend who had been active with both airplanes and rally cars. The old friend was Rob Koch, who acted as the competition team manager and the DAF Londen to Sydney team in 1968. He used a Dakota to move the spare parts and mechanics to the various halts along the route. In the early seventies I supplied the team with light weight rally wheels. We were than also both members of the same flying club in Budel and when we met again at the Concours d’élégance at Paleis het Loo, I discussed this innovative idea with him. He also saw the potential and we worked out a formula but thought it to be impossible. So we left it. It was not until 2011 that I met classic car enthusiast Gerard van Pelt, and told him about my crazy plans. I changed the formula and was now sure that it should be possible, but to realize this dream I had to be certain that we would be able to find enough airplanes to make it happen. However, he asked me if I was sure that I could find enough pre war cars willing to participate, because airplanes was not a problem he said! What do you think, we found the planes, the cars, the pilots and the navigators and the Great Race was born. Come and join us for the second running in June 2015 at Teuge airport near Apeldoorn.

PAGINA 12 - STICHTING GROOT HART
KUNNEN WE OOK OP UW STEUN REKENEN?
STICHTING GROOT HART
ROB KAMPHUES Mijn naam is Rob Kamphues. U kent mij wellicht van de televisie, maar in mijn vrije tijd ben ik al jaren fanatiek autocoureur. Een tijdje geleden richtte ik met een paar autosportvrienden de stichting Groot Hart op. Doel: zieke kindjes trakteren op een rondje in een echte raceauto tijdens echte autoraces. Ooit ben ik zelf aan mijn hart geopereerd en ik geniet er nog elke dag van dat ik nu volledig gezond ben. Vandaar. Maar, Groot Hart is er niet alleen voor hartpatiëntjes, alle families met een kind met een bedreigende ziekte zijn welkom. Inmiddels is Groot Hart bijna niet meer weg te denken van de Nederlandse circuits. In samenwerking met de internationale raceorganisatie Supercar Challenge rijden talloze coureurs zieke kinderen rond en genieten honderden families van een dagje uit naar het circuit. In 2014 waren we ook te gast op VKV City Racing We reden vol gas door de straten van Rotterdam en de kinderen hadden de rest van de dag ogen die bijna uit hun kassen vielen van opwinding.
Rob Kamphues, samen genieten van de eerste rondjes op een echt circuit.
Tijdens onze evenementen ontdekten we iets: veel families worden niet enkel geteisterd door de ziekte van één kind, maar vaak zijn er nog meer zieken in de familie: een broertje, een zusje of een ouder. Het hele leven stort daardoor in. Papa is ziek, mama werkt niet meer, want speelt taxi naar doktoren en ziekenhuizen en de zomervakantie schiet er soms al jaren bij in. Groot Hart wil komend jaar een paar families trakteren op een bijzondere vakantie: een midweek arrangement naar Ronda in Zuid-Spanje, net buiten het seizoen. De zon is niet meer zo heet, het zeewater nog lekker warm en….. in de Spaanse bergen ligt een van de mooiste race resorts van de wereld: Ascari. Een dag lang rijden we dan iedereen, ook papa en mama, net zolang rond als maar kan. En daarna mogen ze nog een paar dagen bijkomen aan het strand. De komende jaren willen we met minstens dertig mensen die kant op, medische begeleiding en vrijwilligers inclusief. Geschatte kosten: 25.000 euro.
UW BIJDRAGE KUNT U STORTEN OP: NL25ABNA 0602506298 t.n.v. Stichting Groot Hart, Utrecht. Onze stichting heeft de ANBI status

ADRENALINE HARM LAMBERIGTS
Harm Lamberigts ondernemer uit Weert geboren in 1963. Mijn eerste keer achter het stuur was toen ik 16 jaar was. Mijn ouders woonden in een bosrijk gebied waar ik met een 2 liter Opel Manta van mijn zwager mocht rond racen. Ook mocht ik toen ik nog heel klein was op de schoot van mijn vader zijn auto sturen, waarschijnlijk is toen al de eerste passie voor de rally sport al ontstaan.. De liefde voor het rally rijden kwam van mijn vader. Hij was heel erg bedreven met de rallysport en is ook een van de grondleggers van de Hornelandrally, waar ik altijd mee mocht als ze deze gingen uitzetten...
Ik zal samen met mijn navigator voor 100% met het spelletje bezig moeten zijn en ervoor zorgen dat de auto helemaal top is!
In het dagelijkse leven verdien ik mijn geld met het exploiteren van twee horeca zaken en een 5 zalen bioscoop in Weert. Harm bezit meerdere Ford Escorts MK1 die variëren van 1300 tot 2000cc, zodat per evenement de meest geschikt auto kan worden ingezet. Mijn mooiste rally ervaring was mijn eerste overwinning van de Hornelandrally samen met de nu inmiddels 88 jarige Willy Cave. Deze rally deed mij de mooie momenten die ik heb gehad met mijn vader weer naar boven brengen en uiteraard de gene waar ik hem mee heb gewonnen is uiteraard ook een legende in onze sport. Cave had his first works-drive as a navigator in 1954, in an MG Magnette for the soon-to-be-famous BMC Rally team. He would go on to co-drive John Sprinzel in various Sprites and to campaign TR4s and Rover 3 litres on rallies such as Monte Carlo, the Alpine and Liege-Sofia-Liege, as well as taking BMC Special Tuning’s 1800 Landcrab on the London to Mexico World Cup Rally. Now in his 80s, he’s still rallying, making him one of the oldest – if not the oldest – continuous competitor in motorsport.
JE HEBT TWEE KEER DE WINTER TRIAL OP JE NAAM MOGEN SCHRIJVEN, WAT MOET ER GEBEUREN OM NR. DRIE TE SCOREN?
Ik zal samen met mijn navigator voor 100% met het spelletje bezig moeten zijn en ervoor zorgen dat de auto helemaal top is!
WELKE ANDERE HOBBY’S ZIJN ER NOG VERDER?
Mountainbiken tennissen lopen reizen films kijken en verder hou ik van een heel lekker glas wijn en van lekker eten.
HOE PREPAREER JE JE AUTO VOOR DE WINTERTRIAL?
We hebben een lijstje gemaakt van a tot z met alle punten erop waar de auto voor zo’n rally aan moet voldoen.
WAAROM IS DIE AUTO (ESCORT) ZO GESCHIKT VOOR RALLY’S? Hij is licht, erg wendbaar en soepel dus makkelijk stuurbaar.
PAGINA 21 - HARM LAMBERIGTS
DE FORD ESCORT In Groot-Brittannië werd in 1968 de Escort geïntroduceerd als de opvolger van de Anglia. Het was een vrij conventionele auto voor die tijd, met een motor voorin die de achterwielen aandreef. Aanvankelijk werd de auto alleen verkocht als 2-deurs sedan, later kwam een stationwagen met drie deuren en een bestelwagen erbij. In 1969 werd een vierdeurs-versie voorgesteld. In die tijd waren er nog niet veel dieselmotoren in kleine gezinsauto’s, en aanvankelijk was de Escort dan ook alleen maar in een 1,1 en een 1,3 liter versie verkrijgbaar. De Escort was een goede verkoper, zeker in Groot-Brittannië.
MIJN MOOISTE RALLY ERVARING WAS MIJN EERSTE OVERWINNING Eind jaren zestig werd door de competitie afdeling in Boreham de compactere en lichte Ford Escort (Mark I) geïntroduceerd, waarvan de competitieve versie bekend werd als de Ford Escort Twin Cam (TC). In 1969 werd deze omgedoopt als de Escort RS1600, die vanaf dat moment ook beschikte over een Cosworth BDA (staand voor ‘Belt Drive, A type’) motor. Natuurlijkerwijs wist de auto grote overwinningen binnen te halen. Zo won Hannu Mikkola de Rally van Finland drie keer op een rij in 1968, 1969 en 1970, en schreef in het laatstgenoemde jaar ook de London to Mexico World Cup Rally (met de zogenaamde Escort 1850GT) op zijn naam en de Safari Rally in 1972. Roger Clark won er tal van rally’s mee zoals de zware Rally
De hoop op een derde overwinning, kwam in deze grepel ten einde.
van Griekenland mee in 1969 en in 1972 de RAC Rally. Ook rally baas Bart Rietbergen boekte vele successen met een Escort MK 1 voorzien van een 2100 CC BDA motor. Naast rallycross successen midden 70 schreef hij ook de STAR Rally op zijn naam. 2100 cc vraagt u zich af, bestonden die dan? Nee officieel bestonden ze niet maar ze waren er wel.
Ton Rabeling Het is een combinatie van factoren. Natuurlijk mijn passie voor klassiekers, het avontuur om per auto de wereld rond te reizen en het sociale aspect.
PAGINA 23 - INTERVIEUW
TON RABELING Q: WAT WAS JE EERSTE ERVARING MET EEN AUTO? A: De rode Deux Cheveaux van mijn moeder en las we naar de garage gingen voor onderhoud wegdromen bij de DS die bij de Citroën dealer in de showroom stond.
Q: WAAR KOMT JE LIEFDE VOOR KLASSIEK RALLY RIJDEN VANDAAN? A: Het is een combinatie van factoren. Natuurlijk mijn passie voor klassiekers, het avontuur om per auto de wereld rond te reizen en het sociale aspect. Heerlijk om mensen tijdens een rally te ontmoetenen naar hun verhalen te luisteren.
Q: WAT DOE JE IN HET DAGELIJKS LEVEN? A: Na een lange carriere als trader in commodoties (graan en eetbare olie) heb ik 6 maanden geleden het roer omgegooid om mij volledig te focussen op de commerciele activiteiten van ons wijndomein “Villebois”. Samen met mijn zwager en 2 vrienden hebben wij 10 jaar geleden geïnvesteerd in een wijndomein in de Loire en recent een groot domein in het hart van de Sancerre overgenomen. Er ligt een fantastische uitdaging om Villebois als merk op de kaart te zetten waarbij het ons doel is om de Loire Sauvignon Blanc specialist te worden. Ik noem het een BMW concept, de Petit Villebois als 1-serie, de Villebois Sauvignon Blanc als 3-serie de Sancerre als 5-serie en de Pouilly als 7-serie.
Q: WAT IS JE RALLY AUTO? A: Een paar jaar geleden liep ik tegen een DS rally aan die rechtstreeks uit de fabriek door Carrossier Mounier is opgebouwd. De omgebouwde 2-deurs versie zoals in de rally du Maroc werd gebruikt en voorzien van een vloerschakeling uit een Citroën SM en een sperdiff. Helaas was de orginele 180 PK sterke motor niet te redden maar ik ben bezig een getrouwe kopie te laten maken.
Q: WAT IS JE MOOISTE RALLY ERVARING EN WAAROM? A: DE WINTER TRIAL!! Je komt in gebieden waar je normaliter niet zo snel komt en het blijft spannend of je niet met min 20 vast komt te zitten in een greppel… In de avond lekker ervaringen uitwisselen onder het genot van een goed glas wijn!
Als de organisatie op hetzelfde niveau blijft en ons steeds weer weet te verrassen met een prachtige omgeving ben ik van de partij!
Q: JE HEBT TWEE KEER DE WINTER TRIAL GEREDEN, WAT MOET ER GEBEUREN OM DEEL TE BLIJVEN NEMEN? A: Als de organisatie op hetzelfde niveau blijft en ons steeds weer weet te verrassen met een prachtige omgeving ben ik van de partij! Ik heb trouwens al het vertrouwen dat het niveau in de toekomst gewaarborgd blijft met dit gepassioneerde Winter Trial Team.
Q: WELKE ANDERE HOBBY’S ZIJN ER NOG VERDER? A: Sport in het algemeen… Onze dochter Isabelle speelt hockey, zoon Tobias kart fanatiek en onze jongste zoon Ole voetbalt… divers en heerlijk om daar bij betrokken te zijn.
Q: HOE PREPAREER JE JE AUTO VOOR DE WINTERTRIAL? A: Ik ben meer een poetser en zorg dat aan alle rondvoorwaarden (schep, sleepkabel, reserve lampjes etc) wordt voldaan. DS garage Jan Konijnendijk verzorgt het technische gedeelte en checkt de auto voordat zij op transport naar Noorwegen gaat.
Q: WAAROM IS DIE AUTO (DS) ZO GESCHIKT VOOR RALLY’S? A: Eerlijk gezegd weet ik niet of mijn DS bij uitstek geschikt is voor rally’s. Voorwielaandrijving heeft bij gladde wegen bergop zijn voordelen maar je mist toch wel het onderstuur karakter van een achterwielaandrijver. Het verkorte chassis zorgt wel voor een betere wegligging en hij helt minder over in bochten maar ik mis wat power. Een ding is zeker…. Het is bij uitstek de auto om de Winter Trial comfortabel te beleven!
It was a giant Eland crossing the road that forced us in the ditch, honest. It was not my driving!
Grand Trourism at its best. Empty roads blue sky’s and great Camaradery. That is the Classic Legends.
PAGINA 25 - CLASSIC LEGENDS
Team Ivo and Lilian Nijs are storming the Col de L ‘Iseran
The next Classic Legends, a rally for prewar cars will take place between September 27 and October 2 – 2015. As we go for the most characteristic venues we are only able to accept a maximum of 30 cars.
MIND BOGGLING ROADS, GREAT VIEWS AND BLUE SKIES. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT IN A RALLY FOR PRE WAR CARS? 2014
The Belgium couple Ron and Rheinhilde Cryns in the beautiful Lagonda have been leading the Vintage class for 3 days. Than the clutch started to produce problems, this was fixed by the ever so quick LMB mecanics, but in spite of that he lost three costly hours and first place. It was expected that The other Belgium Lagonda team would take over first place but one little mistake saw Bert Kersten/ Wim van Bokhoven in the Bentley take over the lead. The Irish team of the Callanan’s had to give up on day to already with serious engine problems, but another Irish team Richard and Jo Mc Allister defended the Irish colors by winning the first three days of the Trial class. The whole week is filled with sunshine and one competitors said that the memory stick was almost incapable of importing the breath-taking beauty of the scenery. Luc and Gratia de Vos where ever so filled with joy after setting the fasted time of the day twice on the little kart track, which also brought them high up the leader board.
sad los is the Alvis from CLIMB Another John Rowe. The climb up to the top
of the Col d’ Iseran was just a col to much. The Alvis failed to proceed and needs to see a doctor. Speaking about doctors, Pit Lindner is playing dr Rossi. He has ordered a pharmacy to bring the whole stock of immodium and distributing this to his fellow competitors, trying to poison them as a last trick to beat the Mc Allisters. Like a number of other competitors they are attacked by an invisible enemy, called virus. Both leaders in Vintge and Trial class did not make to many mistakes on the last day of the rally and it looks that the cards have been shuffeled. Few more hours and the winners will be known.
A great welcome at the BORA BORA beach Club in St Tropez offered by Wajer and Wajer.
The final day is the Wajer and Wajer Grand Prix. A day out with one of the Osprey boats was the much appreciated prize won by Tom Calanan. At Bora Bora beach in Saint Tropez the prize giving party was more than another special occasion presented by BRM in the spirits of the Voiles de Saint Tropez. Worlds biggest Classic sailing race. Our sponsor Wajer and Wajer had prepared a special welcome. Below one of the five speed boats that transported all crews to and from the prize giving party.

BEACH TO BRIDGE LIBERATION RALLY
NORMANDIE/ARNHEM
From the start at the Pegasus bridge in Ouistreham, following the coastline to the Pillboxes at Arromanches, where we can still see the German canons, we make our way to Chartres via the Faillaise Pocket. From Chartres we follow the “Voie de la Liberté”, the route that General Patton followed to Bastogne and the Battle of Via Reims, our next overnight halt, where we will have our dinner in one of the famous Champagne caves beneath the city, we continue our way past the Maginot lines to Bastogne for a visit to the magnificent museum about the Battle of the Bulge. Our next overnight halt will be in Marche en Famenne, just north of Bastogne. Passing through the Ardennes we make our way to The Netherlands via Trois Ponts and Stavelot to a small town called Mesch, the first town in The Netherlands to be liberated by the Americans to our final overnight Halt in Vaals. From here we head up to Best and the “Wings of Liberation” museum. On the grounds of this former military comlex we will have a nice driving test to sharpen the senses for our inal run over “hells Highway”. The road to Arnhem and Operation Market Garden. We finish our 5 day journey on the John Frost Bridge to have our prize giving in the wine cellars of Robbers and van der Hoogen Wine sellers.

PAGINA 32 - SAFARI RALLY
• Marvel at the world’s highest sand dunes of the Kalahari Desert in Sossusvlei. • You visit the only game park which allows you to drive your own car. • You feel the thunder of the Victoria Falls. • You follow the blooming garden route along the beautiful coast of South Africa. • You visit wineries near Stellenbosch. • Best of all, you drive in your own car through one of the best Game Reserves to meet up with the other “Big Five”
From October 24 till November 15 - 2015 we organise the second Safari Rally. This is the most spectacular drive through South Africa, Namibia and Botswana for Classic Cars and 4x4s. The twenty two day event will take you through the most exciting territories of “The Big Five” game animals, as well as great scenic highlights not to be missed.
BEST OF ALL, YOU DRIVE IN YOUR OWN CAR THROUGH ONE OF THE BEST GAME RESERVES TO MEET WITH THE ‘BIG FIVE’ those interested in competition sections there will be two or three a YES... For day, but if you prefer a gentle drive, there is the Safari Class which just
visits the important controls. Due to the nature of the countries we are passing through and the limited high quality accommodation available, there is a strictly limited number of entrees. Full brochure and information can be obtained from our Rally Office – mailto:info@thetrial.nl For pricing www.safarirally.nl/downloads” download the entreeform. Yes man this is Africa. The Desert Landscape of Sossusvlei
One of the most compelling features of Namibia is the astounding landscape of Sossusvlei, a part of the Namib Desert. We take a tour of this desert landscape of Sossusvlei in Namibia – part of the World’s Ten Greatest Attractions. The most spectacular moments to visit the dunes of Sossusvlei are the minutes before sunset and the minutes after sunrise. It is sometimes windy, sometimes very, very wet. The only noise you hear is your own heartbeat.
PAGINA 33 - SAFARI RALLY
ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK
Namibia and Etosha National Park is an unspoiled safari and adventure destination. There are plenty of parks and places with great opportunities to watch the wildlife and “The Big Five”. Namibia’s bountiful sunshine, abundant wildlife, scenic beauty and rich diversity of geological phenomena make the country a sought-after tourist destination to which visitors return again and again. Additional plus points are the friendliness and cultural diversity of its people, a well-developed infrastructure and an extensive choice of parks, resorts and accommodation. The latter range from five-star luxury hotels to upmarket guest lodges in the quiet seclusion of the bush.
VICTORIA FALLS
Victoria Falls, so named by the 19th century (Scottish!) explorer Dr David Livingstone, is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. He saw the falls for the first time in 1855 and said “scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. The spray rising above the falls has given them its local name “The Smoke that Thunders”. The falls are almost too beautiful to paint. The width is 1.6 kilometres and the height up to 108 metres, twice the size of The Niagara Falls. A truly magnificent marvel of nature.
CAPETOWN
Visit Table Mountain overlooking Capetown. Eye to eye with the ocean’s gentle giants. South Africa prides itself on the best land-based whale-watching in the world. Watching whales in their natural environmnent is an overwhelming experience of nature at its most glorious, making a memory to last a lifetime.
THE ROUTE
The 9,000 kilometre route has been carefully selected and will take you over great asphalt roads as well as smooth gravel, to places where the tourists never go. Our motto “the best available” also goes for the carefully selected hotels, lodges and guest houses, but bear in mind that we also seek the best available routes, which are not always where the fairy-tale hotels can be found. As capacity is limited, we can only take 25 crews for this adventure.
SERVICE
Experienced Service Crews will follow the rally to make sure that nobody gets stranded. They are there to get you going again when you are stuck, not to do your daily maintenance.
ENTRIES
The Safari Rally is by invitation only. With the enclosed form you may apply to compete. Note that there is a limit on the number of crews that we can invite. Within four weeks of receipt of your application form you will be notified if you are invited. For information contact: info@thetrial.nl + 31578 561115 Another event from Classic Legends, Paarl – South Africa
The big Bentley of Bert Kersten and Huib Vroenhoven failed to proceed. Electricity problems caused them to move to the 4x4 class.

An old dream of Bart Rietbergen came true when 40 classic planes and the same number of prewar cars gathered at Teuge airport in 2013. During the lunch break a sensational air show was presented to the crowds and the participants of the show. This first running of Wings Wheels and Goggles filled us with joy, excitement and satisfaction. What an event it was. So all in all a very good reason to do it again and as always we like it to be bigger and better where possible.
HOW DOES THE GREAT RACE WORK? We team up a plane and a prewar car, this is - the team. The team will receive a few tasks. The Car has to visit 10 exact marker points at an exact given time. You may not be late or early. The route is given on a map. The Plane has to visit 10 Marker points and fly within a 50 mtr radius over it in a dedicated from and to direction at a given altitude. The route is given by GPS points. To late or early is a penalty and to high or to low is also a penalty. The times and altitudes will be recorded by our logger system. The difference between ideal and actual is the
penalty and the team with lowest penalty wins. On Saturday we will fly/drive 2 legs and we drive/fly 1 leg on Sunday. In one of the three legs the navigator will have to swop his place with his team mate. So codriver from the car goes into the plane and vice versa.
Have fun. The organizing team.
