# Rally di Ypres

Il Rally di Ypres, chiamato anche Belgium Ypres Rally, è un rally che si disputa nella zona di Ypres, cittadina delle Fiandre Occidentali in Belgio; è stato organizzato per la prima volta da Frans Thévelin nel 1965; nel 1974 divenne tappa fissa del Campionato Europeo Rally e dal 2006 al 2012 anche dell'Intercontinental Rally Challenge. Nel 2021 entrò a far parte del campionato del mondo rally in sostituzione del cancellato Rally di Gran Bretagna.

Nella sua storia la manifestazione ha avuto alcuni famosi piloti e co-piloti partecipanti, come Didier Auriol, Colin McRae, Alister McRae, Juha Kankkunen, François Duval, Michèle Mouton, Jean Todt, Armin Schwarz e Ari Vatanen tra gli altri.
