Step back in time to the golden age of motorsport at the Eifelrundfahrt1922, an exclusive event celebrating pre-war automobiles on the legendary Eifel race track. This unique occasion commemorates the very first car race held on the circuit in 1922, offering participants and spectators a nostalgic journey through automotive history.
Prepare for an immersive experience as vintage vehicles, strictly from before 1939, navigate a challenging 125 km route. This includes a thrilling 33 km section on the original Eifel race circuit, complete with its 86 iconic curves. The event is designed for enthusiasts who wish to drive their classic cars on historic grounds, rather than simply display them. An optional 'Eifler-Landpartie' on Saturday allows for an extended weekend of vintage motoring, culminating in a welcome evening. The main event on Sunday features the drive, a lunch break, and concludes with an award ceremony in Nideggen's town center.
The program includes an official presentation and start of the vehicles, followed by a skill tournament held at four different times throughout the day (10:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM), providing ample opportunity for spectators to witness active driving and for attendees to enjoy a relaxed display of these magnificent machines. Families interested in automotive history will find this event both engaging and accessible.
