Get ready for the 17th Niederelbe Classics, a beloved classic car rally returning on July 11, 2026! This year marks a significant change as the event's center moves to Jork, serving as both the starting and finishing point. Prepare for a day filled with stunning historic vehicles, scenic routes, and exciting timed stages that will captivate both participants and spectators.
Visitors can expect a full day dedicated to automotive heritage. The rally kicks off at 8:31 AM, with the first historic vehicles departing from Jork. A major highlight will be the regularity trial held on the Estering in Buxtehude between approximately 2:00 PM and 4:45 PM. This unique challenge focuses on precision and consistency, as drivers aim to maintain a set average speed rather than achieving maximum velocity. Spectators will have ample opportunities to admire these meticulously maintained classics before the start, along the route, and witness their return to Jork around 4:00 PM.
