Dear friends of the Ennstal-Classic, preparations for the Ennstal-Classic 2026 (July 22–25) are in full swing – and this year, there are again new program highlights and improvements to make the experience even more enjoyable for participants.
Here’s a brief overview of the most important updates:
Tuesday, July 21 – Warm-Up at Stoderplatzl
Already on the eve of the rally, there will be a relaxed warm-up party at Stoderplatzl.
Additionally, Fritz Müller will give an exciting talk about his participation in the legendary Peking–Paris Rally – an evening full of rally stories and guaranteed wanderlust.
Further details about these two program highlights will be provided in due course via email.
Wednesday, July 22 – New Check-In Day
From now on, Check-In will take place exclusively on Wednesday throughout the day.
Around the Check-In, participants at the Motorpark Gröbming can enjoy a lively supporting program with:
- Food and beverage stalls
- Music
- A relaxed rally atmosphere to get in the mood for the days ahead
New: The roadbook will be handed out at Check-In, ensuring participants are fully prepared for the rally!
Ennstal-Classic Touring – the new side event
With Ennstal-Classic Touring, there is for the first time a format for everyone who wants to enjoy the rally route at a relaxed pace.
• Same route and all side events
• Only light barrier tests
• No regularity tests
• Separate classification
Participant numbers are limited to 10 starting spots.
New Catering Partner
From 2026, the culinary program will be provided by “Die Chef Partie” – a catering partner from Salzburg offering high-quality organic cuisine and creative gourmet concepts.
Look forward to an even stronger combination of rally, landscape, and gastronomy.
New VIP Tent
And there’s also a new addition in the finish area:
a redesigned VIP tent that provides more space for socializing and where everyone can celebrate together.
We look forward to welcoming you again this year in the Ennstal – for four days full of driving pleasure and unforgettable moments.
Warm regards,
Your Ennstal-Classic Team
