An all new, unprecedented, Finishing Ceremony

Traditional event closing the Rally France-Alsace, the Finishing Ceremony has been renewed for the 2012 edition. It will take place on Sunday, 7th October from 15:30, inside the Strasbourg Zénith, and will include an amazing performance, mixing variety show and sports results.

This new format is the result of the labor directed by the organization committee of the Rally France-Alsace 2012, with the support of the media partner France Bleu Alsace, the City Urban Community of Strasbourg (CUS) and thanks to the implication of several other partners: Lagoona, Weber and Stacco. All the protagonists of the Finishing Ceremony have gathered their respective competences and expertises (from organization to programming, from animation to management protocol, and including lighting, sound system, video, stage organization…) in order to provide a two-hour quality show to almost 6 000 spectators.

The ceremony will feature the DJ Philippe Roeck, Europa Park animations and an exclusive concert of the famous band “Chico and the Gypsies”. Special guests will also join the party to congratulate the ten first teams of each class; and, to honor all the competitors, each team will have the privilege to salute the public from the Zénith stage.

The partners of the Rally France-Alsace 2012 will organize different games and quizzes all along the Rally, with seats for the Finishing Ceremony to win (which will also be given at the “Information Point” at the Strasbourg Zénith). For those who can’t make it inside the Zénith, a giant 62m² screen will be set up in the Service Park to allow them to follow the ceremony.
