Over 160 classic cars are entered into the rally this year, and even more are entered in the Slivretta E-Car Rallye that will run at the same time. The rally runs through the Austrian states of Vorarlberg and Tyrol. The rally is not for speed but for time and distance. Each stage has a time limit that the cars have to try to hit exactly or incur penalties.
