"The starting field will be very colourful and diverse," is how Reinhard Klein (Cologne) describes the entry list for the 12th edition of the Eifel Rallye Festival. When from August 15th to 17th over one hundred and fifty contemporary witnesses to rally history transform the Volcanic Eifel around Daun into the largest rally museum on wheels, fans will experience an impressive cross-section of the sport's history. "There will be just over a handful of vehicle types that are represented twice. From A for Alfa Romeo or Alpine to Citroën, DAF, Hyundai, MG, Peugeot, Rover and VW, almost every manufacturer that has ever been active in rallying will be represented.

"It always hurts not to be able to say ‘yes’ to everyone who wants to come to our Festival with their historic rally car. We had to close the application for entries, otherwise the list of cancellations would have become even longer," says Reinhard Klein (Cologne), explaining the early closure of the application for a entry in the Twelfth edition of the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival to be held from August 15th to17th, 2024.



Entry list closed for the time being

Due to the high number of entries received so far, no new entries can be accepted for the time being, and the entry list will be reopened at short notice should any starting places become available after the entries have been checked.

The rush to enter the 12th edition of the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival that is to be held between August 15th and 17th 2024 around Daun in the Volcanic Eifel is, once more, simply amazing. There were eighty-nine entries within the first 24 hours, and after 100 hours there were already one hundred and twenty-seven registrations for this Festival, the largest “mobile rally museum”.

Anyone who has ever been on the Hintertux glacier may already have sat in the gondola with the #53. Now it is standing in the middle of the rally mile in Daun at the EIfel Rally Festival and is being auctioned off to the highest bidders. But not just like that. Before leaving, three-time ski world champion Nicole 'Niki' Hosp signed the gondola.



The ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (July 27th/29th, 2023) is now past, the teams have taken down their colourful tents in the city centre of Daun, which has been transformed into the Rally Mile. The more than one hundred and sixty original and faithfully reproduced cars from the history of rallying once again attracted tens of thousands of fans from Europe – and beyond – to the Volcanic Eifel. The VIP’s present were World Champion Stig Blomqvist, Rauno Aaltonen, Bruno Thiry, Kalle Grundel, Nicky Grist, Harald Demuth, Rui Madeira, Rudi Stohl and Niki Schelle all of whom fulfilled countless autograph requests.



The final spurt is on for the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (July 27th/29th, 2023) and the preparations for the biggest rolling rally museum are in full swing. The first participants and guests have already taken up their quarters in the Volcanic Eifel. The organisation team is growing steadily as more and more helpers are joining the core team to assist with the tasks that now lie ahead. Over the Festival weekend, more than seven hundred people will be active on a voluntary basis to provide the participants and the tens of thousands of fans with the best possible conditions for this worldwide meeting of the rally scene.



The photo competition of the Eifel Rally Festival will take place again this year.

Attractive prizes await the winners, including the official book "Eifel Rally Festival 2011-2022" with VIP autographs.
