Das ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (24. - 26. Juli 2014) lockt alle in die Vulkaneifel. Das größte rollende Museum historischer Rallye-Fahrzeuge entwickelt sich nicht nur zum exklusiven Zusammentreffen von nahezu allen Sportgeräten, die jemals Rallye-Pfade bezwangen, auch die damaligen Chauffeure finden immer mehr Gefallen daran, ein jährliches Treffen in Daun zu organisieren. Hubert Böffgen aus Gerolstein, der als Rallye-Leiter in der Eifel die sportlichen Festival-Fäden zieht, hat eine Erklärung für den großen Zuspruch: "Unser Orga-Mitglied Reinhard Klein hat sich in seinen langen Jahren in der Weltmeisterschaft ein riesiges Netzwerk zu  allen Teilnehmern geschaffen.

This spring, the Klein family from Cologne/Germany faced the usual “problem”. Once the entry list for the ADAC Eifel Rallye Festival (July 24-26, 2014) had opened, entries kept coming in via all possible means including e-mail, fax and regular mail. Reinhard Klein, the head of the Slowly Sideways group, was busy with his inbox, commented: “We have received 200 entries but can only allow 150 cars, thus we had to sort the various entries. In order to achieve our goal and reach a maximum variety of cars, we have only accepted one identically-liveried example of a particular model but we have still reached 120 participants easily.”



Highlights 2014

  • The legendary Walter Röhrl as patron of the event

  • Participants from 12 countries worldwide

  • Vehicles from at least 30 manufacturers and 5 decades of rallying history

    to the wild Group B supercars



Last year our Belgian friends came with no less than 3 Belga Ford Escorts to our Eifel Rallye Festival und they made a truly great show, especially our VIP guest driver Robert Droogmans. The Belga trio is also available as a model car set in scale 1:43 and with the original decals from the 2013 Eifel Rallye Festival. As you can see, the background picture shows the three cars during a photo shoot on the Daun airfield.



The entry list is officially open from today – Saturday, February 15th – and the organisers of the Eifel Rallye Festival are expecting to be overwhelmed by a flood of entries. They can accept 150 historic rally cars for their three-day demonstration event but the list is always over-subscribed and will fill up long before the event is held on the last weekend of July.

The message for owners of cars who want to participate in this year’s Eifel Rallye Festival is clear – get moving and get in the queue or you might just be unlucky !



The entry list to the Eifel Rallye Festival 2014 has been opened. The entry form and entry form to the service park are available in the download area. The registration to the service park is to be submitted with the entry form.



It has been announced that the date for the 2014 edition of the Eifel Rallye Festival will be July 24th/26th.
In 2013, more than 40,000 fans came from all parts of Europe to watch one hundred and fifty historic rally cars tackle two days of classic stages just south of the Nürburgring and at the same time celebrate the fortieth birthday of the World Rally Championship. The Eifel Rally Festival is not, however, a competition since the cars and crews drive the stages untimed merely to demonstrate the sights and sounds of rallying as it was in years past.

This DVD of the 2013 Eifel Rallye Festival comes back on the event with action videos, as well as presentations of famous cars, great onboard footages, and captivating interviews with the stars of rallying like Walter Röhrl, Stig Blomqvist and Björn Waldegård.



The special exhibition of Automotive Tradition, the “Bosch Fotogruppe” and the “Bosch Oldtimerschraubern” at the Bosch headquarters in Stuttgart is coming to an end and will soon move to Abstatt. The theme of the exhibition is the connection between emotions and Bosch recreational activities.



The organizers of the Eifel Rallye Festival are pleased to announce that the Eifel Rallye Festival in 2014 will be continued.



The winners of th spectator voting 2013 have been found. The organising team of the Eifel Rallye Festival would like to thank all participants in this spectator voting and we send our congratulations to the winners. We look forward to welcoming you back next year and wish you a lot of fun with the prizes.



729 pictures taken by 192 photographers from ten different countries, the photographic competition held in conjunction with the 2013 Eifel Rallye Festival was once again a huge success. But it was not just the quantity of entries that enthused the head judge of the competition, famous rally photographer Reinhard Klein, but also the quality and variety of the pictures submitted. "The fans have captured the action and the spirit of the Eifel Rallye Festival on really brilliant photographs. I am especially impressed how good the pictures of the 'amateur' photographs that do not have a press ticket are. In the end, we had selected around 15 images which were all good enough for a trophy. Thus it was really hard to pick the very best ones. And since there were so many great 'photoshopped' images, we decided to creat another prize for the best 'photo art' picture."
