Picture: Philip Knoof och Arne Hoffmeister from Germany started in swedish gravel rallye Dackefejden 2009 in Wäxjö. The rally now invites all foreign Volvo Original Rally drivers to the rally 2010 without paying any entry fee and with living for free at the school some 200 meters from the start- and serviceplace.

For heavens sake. Let us make a Volvo Original Euro Cup even 2010!
Karl Rumpler in Austria loves the idea to go rallyeing abroad.
And that is why other countries now says ok, even its very late in the season.

At the moment the 6 Volvo Original Countries tryes do make a Cup. 
However is great problems to find dates fitting all countries (as usual) but two rallies are in the Cup already:
1) Gravel rally Triesingtal in Austria April 17 and
2) Swedish gravel rally Dackefejden in Växjö June 19.

The dutch drivers already decided to start in german asphalt rally Sulinger land May 1 - so that rally also is on the list too (as usual - its a very nice and popular rallye). But we have not talked with the "rallyleiter" yet.
- Now we try to find a alt least one rallie in Denmark or maybe some more in Germany in the end of the year. We will come back with more information, "Volvo General" Carleric Johansson says.

The Cup winner 2009 Henrik Levin, Sweden is not sure about his rallyeyear 2010:
- We are going to have a baby so we are unsafe about the future.
Henrik won bot the overall Cup and the Gravel Cup 2009.
- However I recommend all Volvo drivers (and other drivers too, of cause) to take the chanse and go abroad fo a rally. Its really nice to meet drivers from other countries. And the spectators of cause!
- I must say I really love the spectators, specially in Austria.

So - We keep working to make a Cup.
Until Then:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
