Thanks to Didier Doyen and Damien Cornet, spectators at the Rally 4 Passion will be able to relive their memories!

In 1987, Jean-Pierre Van de Wauwer was one of the leading lights of Belgian rallying with a car that has remained legendary: the Toyota Corolla 1600 GT in Fina colours, prepared by Thiebaut Racing, the company founded by Pierre Thiebaut in Verviers a few years earlier.

Although Didier Doyen has owned the original ‘Vande’ car for a number of years, unfortunately it is no longer roadworthy. So, as a true enthusiast, Didier set about rebuilding a Corolla AE86 in the colours of the famous Belgian petrol company.

Equipped with a high-performance engine producing some 195 bhp, a ‘straight size’ gearbox and a large autoblocker, this beautiful replica is sure to please the many Vande fans…
