Get ready to navigate the roads with your classic vehicle in the VFM Orientierungsfahrt in Niedersachsen 2026! After an eight-year hiatus, this beloved event returns to celebrate the club's 35th anniversary, offering a unique blend of sport and tourism for map-reading enthusiasts.
This event is designed for those who prefer the challenge of traditional map navigation over GPS. The focus is on the 'orientation' aspect, ensuring a fun and accessible experience for all skill levels. Participants can compete in various classes, including YO for vehicles 20 years and older, S (Schnupperklasse) for beginners without points, A (Anfänger) for beginners with points, B for advanced drivers, and C for experts. The tasks are designed to be straightforward, avoiding overly difficult challenges like jumps or fishbones, so everyone can enjoy the spirit of orientation.
