In the name of the executive board of the Ivory Coast Federa-tion and the steering committee, I am happy and proud to wel-come you in Ivory Coast on the occasion of the 41st edition ofour queen event.

Happy — I always have a lot of pleasure to receive heresportsmen coming from diverse horizons because, thanks toour rally, they will have the possibility of discovering our beau-tiful Ivory Coast …� Proud — I measure the path browsed these last yearsand, yes, I am proud to contribute, with the team around me,to the revival of the Ivorian Coast sport automobile.�

Here we are at the beginning of the 5th decade of the BandamaRallye in Ivory Coast and we have the privilege to approachthis new stage with a certain "knowledge" last year, our eventwas classified at the 2nd rank of the African Championship bythe FIA (which count 8 rallies), over all criteria. This rankingmeans that we can still progress and, from this point of view,the presence last year in our country of Jean Todt, presidentof FIA, and of Michèle Mouton, which manages the commissionof the WRC, was particularly useful and enriching.

Other element of satisfaction, the crew which win our rally in2014 made then a beautiful continental campaign and retur-ned with the title there! So congratulations to our Championsof Africa, Gary Chaynes and Romain Comas they carried highthe Ivory Coast colors!

These extremely positive point show that we are on the righttrack! However, our ambition is not to satisfy us of this beau-tiful result, but trying to do better! By organizing in way moreprofessional our Bandama Rally which, been born in 1969, isa part of the Ivory Coast sports heritage and is, more thanever, the big continental event, it is not a coincidence if ourcountry grants him a particular interest.�Since a few years, theorganizers of the events mattering for the Africa's Champions-hip meet very often, work together and improve ceaselesslytheir structure to reach the ultimate objective: that an Africanrally will be again registered in the Rallies World Championship,it would be only justice! Let us remember ourselves that mostbeautiful pages of this tough competition were written doub-tless in Morocco, Kenya and in Ivory Coast, in a past which isnot so distant …

Then, our rally returning to the WRC? The challenge is consi-derable, but I am persuaded that we can do it … With theessential contribution of the volunteers who work beside theFISA on the success of the Rally … With the support of theYamoussoukro authorities and all the crossed localities …With the precious help of our numerous partners, among whomthe commitment and the optimism testify of their faith in thefuture of Ivory Coast and the car-racing in particular … With,finally, the forthright support of the Ivory Coast government -in the front row of which I allow to place Mister Alain Logo-gnon, our minister of the promotion of the youth, sports andthe leisure activities, who made a lot a lot for the triumph ofthe Automobile Sports in Ivorian Coast!

I say traditional "Akwaba" to the personalities of the FIA whowill, either to examine our rally through a magnifying glass,or to accompany us in its realization. And I welcome all thecompetitors, foreigners and national, who are going to be inconfrontation on the Rally Route which we carefully studied…I greet in advance their skills, intelligence and courage who,maybe, will lead them to the victory! With my team, I wantedto propose them a sequence of "mastered adventure": the timefor the competitive sectors on open road is passed, but I wantto show them that the Ivory Coast, secured tracks, continueto offer a magnificent ground to challenge the stopwatch! Maythe best man win!�Finally, I want our rally symbolize the sport and the party! Letus not tarnish its image — on the contrary, let us make itknown, here and somewhere else, and I count for it on ourjournalists friends. And for you, spectators of the big cities andvillages, you, so numerous and without whom the rally wouldbe nothing, thank you to respect safety instructions, to remainvery careful and to invest you in an approach of "sustainabledevelopment" … In conviviality!�We know that we can count on the commitment of all, for livemuch longer this Rally!��

Alain Ambrosino

A word from the President A mastered adventure

Nevertheless, the thirteen events whichtake place during these two decades allows numerous pilotsto make a name, such Servant, Molinié, Moriféré, Fané…Year 2013 marks the beginning of a real revival of the IvoryCoast car-racing, on the initiative of the new president of theFederation, Alain Ambrosino. The Bandama Rally completelychange size, its organization professionalizes and it finds itsplace in the African Championship timetable.

Finally, last year, the event welcomes two personalities ofthe International Federation of the Automobile: Jean Todt,FIA President, and Michèle Mouton, president of the WorldChampionship Rallies Commission … Their only presenceproved that Ivory Coast remained, more than ever, a magnifi-cent ground of sports challenges - the next one will it be a re-turn of Bandama in the World Rally Championship timetable?It is the Ivory Coast native Gary Chaynes who wins this 2014edition, what brings him to participate then in several otherround of the African Championship and to take win it! After 'Ambro' in 1983, 87 and 88, the country counts againa Champion of Africa in its ranks! Of good omen for the continuation …


Rally Guide 5

Rally history … Ivory Coast, ground of sports challengesNear one half a century ago, after Morocco, Uganda, Kenyaor South Africa, Ivory Coast joined the list of the Africancountries organizing international automobile events … �We are in 1969: on December 6th and 7th, Jean-Claude Bertrand and his group of buddies bring to a successfulconclusion the very first edition of the Bandama Rally. It is to the couple Marc and Hélène Gérenthon that returnsthe honor to inaugurate the prize list …Only two years later, in December, 1971, the event receivesits first foreign participants come, in particular Bob Neyretand Claudine Trautmann.�From December 28th, 1972 till January 3rd, 1973 takes place the fourth edition … But toDaloa, at the middle-route, there is no more a crew in race!Bandama has just built up its reputation of 'impossible' eventand it enters the sport automobile legend!One year later, in December, 1973, we crowd on the startingline, the undistributed prices of the previous edition havingbeen thrown in …�There is even of very high society: Larrousse, Mehta, Chasseuil, Fall, Mikkola, Mäkinen, Neyret,Nicolas, Guichet, Pescarolo, Beltoise … No less!�

From then on, the event becomes more important little by little and, in 1978, it is the consecration with the registrationin the World Championship: the Bandama Rally joins twoother African stage (Kenya and Morocco) in the most high-level. He will stay there during fifteen years.�During this period splendor, the Ivory Coast tracks will be the frame of wild battles bringing into conflict the most prestigious manufacturers, and the best pilots. Peugeot, Citroën, Mercedes, Datsun then Nissan, Mitsubishi, Opel,Toyota, Volkswagen, Audi, Renault … Nicolas, Thérier, Waldegård, Mikkola, Salonen, Vatanen, Kankkunen, Fréquelin, Eklund, Mehta, Ragnotti, Blomqvist, Rörhl, Mouton … �Local pilots also make speak about them (Ambrosino, Mitri, Assef, Tauziac, in particular), to the pointthat some of them are punctually integrated into officialteams. 'Ambro' is the first 'local' pilot to take away the trialof time of the 'World cup' - it was in 1988 …�

The epic time of the World Championship ends in 1992, butthe adventure continues in the Ivory Coast roads, within theframework of the national calendar and within the frame-work of some registrations in the African Championship.
