The Tintin Rally

The  Tintin RallyReady, steady, go!

Once again this year, Moulinsart is joining forces with the Comics Festival to whisk visitors away into the world of our favourite little reporter. More than 60 classic cars and bikes featured in the Tintin stories will be on show on Sunday 7 September.

The rally will be setting off on a journey around some of the comic book highlights of Brussels, taking in the Hergé Museum in Louvain-la-Neuve as well. The vehicles will end up in the Place des Palais, where they will stay for the rest of the day so that members of the public can take the opportunity to admire them.

There are still places available so if you own a vehicle that was featured in Tintin’s adventures between 1946 and 1993, you still have time to apply to take part in the rally. Given the huge success of the first rally, this year more than 60 vehicles are due to take part in the event.

At the end of the race, a panel of judges from Moulinsart will award the prizes for the cars that best match Hergé’s drawings. A non-exhaustive list of the cars involved along with the registration form can be found on http://fr.tintin.com/news in the article entitled “le Rallye du Journal de Tintin”.
