Toyota 222D - 1986, Gr. S - Ernst Kopp/Marcus Kopp
Waldegård
Ernst Kopp acquired this car from Toyota Motorsport many years ago when he was their main workshop manager for their WRC and F1 program. This 222D is completely original and unrestored and thus is a very exclusive showpiece. But just exhibition only did not satisfy Ernst and he prepared this car for the Eifel Rallye Festival in 2017 where it drove its first stage at all. This is the 222D prototype with the longitudinal engine that Björn Waldegård tested in Scotland in 1986. Mehr >

Participants and fans alike are eagerly awaiting the thirteenth edition of the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival, which will take place from July 24th/26th, 2025. The world's largest rolling rally museum will again transform Daun and the surrounding Vulkaneifel region for a weekend into an international meeting place for the historic rally world. Thursday is “Daun Town Day”, offering fans the chance to experience the vehicles and teams up close in the Daun Rally Mile. Highlights include the public scrutineering of the cars followed by the presentation of all vehicles and teams on the starting ramp, the autograph session and the Welcome evening with open-air cinema.
In addition to some innovations, such as the changed festival schedule - instead of the shakedown on Thursday, an additional demonstration track will be run twice on Friday morning - there have also been some changes in the merchandising area. The sales stand for fan merchandise has now moved into permanent premises, just a few metres next to the ADAC container for programme and ticket sales.
In the new ‘home’, visitors can look at the articles at their leisure and the sales staff can look forward to any changes in the weather.
The entry list for the thirteenth edition of the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival is extremely diverse and top-class. From July 24th to 26th, the Vulkaneifel region around Daun will be rocked by one hundred and sixty-six original or faithfully reproduced cars from rally history, all of which were previously driven by eighty-six different stars of the rally scene as it then existed. “Our idea of showing the cars of various stars this time around was a real hit. We never expected such diversity,” says Reinhard Klein, head of Slowly Sideways and the man responsible for putting the entry list together.
Fans of the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (July 24th to 26th 2025) can look forward to an additional highlight. Reigning 2024 World Rally Champion Thierry Neuville will once again come to the Vulkaneifel region around Daun and take over the patronage of the largest rolling rally museum. This is what Neuville says about his reasons for taking on this role: “I was very pleased to be able to take on the patronage of this very special event. I have already attended the Eifel Rallye Festival as a fan as well as driving in it myself. In Daun, you only meet people who are interested in our sport and its history.
Looking back at last year's field of participants, we would like to extend our best wishes for a happy and blessed Easter, a nest full of colourful eggs and a relaxing holiday! And another important note: From 1 May, we will be presenting the cars of this year's participants.

This year too, the entry list for the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (July 24th to 26th, 2025) has to be closed early. “Less than three weeks after the opening of the registration portal, we already have over two hundred entries, but we can only accommodate around one hundred one hundred and sixty rally cars in the centre of Daun. For this reason, we are definitively closing the entry list on February 28th, 2025,” explains Reinhard Klein (Slowly Sideways) with a smile but also a sad eye. “The huge interest from the international friends of historic rallying is inspiring. The variety and quality of the registered vehicles are impressive. We are closing the entry portal to keep the number of rejections down”.
A very important step in the preparation for the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival that will run from July 24th to the 26th 2025 is the opening of the entry list. From February 1st, 2025, the race for the coveted starting places will begin. The first enquiries show that there will be great interest again this time in the demonstration drives in the Vulkaneifel region around Daun of the largest rolling rally museum. The selection of the entry of original or faithfully reproduced rally cars from the last sixty years is this year will be based on their former drivers.
Every year, fans eagerly await the maxim that guides the basis of selection for the line-up at the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival. On the weekend of July 24th to 26th, 2025 the focus will be on the selection of historic rally cars driven by famous drivers. ‘We will try to get the cars of as many great rally drivers as possible to the start. From Aaltonen to Zasada, the number of different cars of these former drivers in the entry should be as extensive as possible,’ explains Reinhard Klein (Cologne) who, of the organising team, is the one responsible for putting together the entry list. ’To ensure the great variety that is desired, we will not be able to allow absolutely identical cars.
The historic journey continues since the next ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival will once again take place in and around Daun in the Vulkaneifel from July 24th to the 26th, 2025. Over one hundred and sixty original or faithfully reproduced rally cars from the history of this fascinating sport will once again delight tens of thousands of fans who will be watching the largest rally museum on wheels. “What started as an idea in 2012 has now become an important part of safeguarding the history of rallying.” says Reinhard Klein happily, “Our participants are realising more and more how important it is to preserve their cars true to the originals.
The winners of the 2024 photo competition have been announced. We would like to thank for the many photos submitted. The winners have been notified in the meantime and will all receive a fan package 2025 (2 weekend tickets, 1 program booklet, 1 voucher for the welcome evening, 1 baseball cap, 1 complete set of autograph cards and 2 event stickers). The winning photo 2024 was “shot” by Jiri Fiser (Czech Republic). Congratulations to him!
The twelfth edition of the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (August 15th to 17th, 2024) is now history.

Thorsten Krämer, Mayor of the Shakedown Centre in Bodenbach, puts it in a nutshell: "The local community of Bodenbach warmly welcomes the international field of participants and fans from all over Europe".
