For the third year running, the Eifel Rallye Festival is nominated as "Motorsport Event of the Year" in the International Historic Motoring Awards. The Festival is one of only three events that have been shortlisted in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and it is once again the only event for rally cars in its category. "The nomination for the historic motorsport's 'Oscar' is the reward for our hard work over the last years. We could only achieve this thanks to the help and dedication of our volunteers, the organising committee and the numerous fans all of whom have made the Eifel Rallye Festival famous", says Reinhard Klein, the head of Slowly Sideways. "It is great to see that the Festival is listed among great events such as Silverstone Classic, Le Mans Classic or the Historic Grand Prix Zandvoort."
