Round 5 of the 1970 European Rally Championship, the Tulip Rally challenged crews over a mixed international course from the Dutch coast into the French Alps and back, testing both high-speed precision and endurance on asphalt stages.
Competitors tackled nine closed‐road special stages totalling 76.9 km, linked by over 3000km of liaison through France and Belgium:
Heavy snow in the Alps forced last‐minute diversion routes, while the mix of high‐speed runs and technical Alpine tests demanded flawless navigation and tire choices.
The BMW 2002 Ti’s balance of power and handling proved decisive, while the Opel Kadett Rallye and Lancia Fulvia rounded out a podium of agile, lightweight machines.
This edition of the Tulip Rally is remembered for its blend of flat‐out speed, Alpine adversity, and the first major ERC victory for the BMW 2002 Ti.
