The pinnacle of rallying remains true to the Central European Rally: the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) has included the event in its calendar for 2025 and will visit Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic from October 16th to 19th. The schedule will once again feature the spectacular asphalt stages that caused such a stir when the Central European Rally made its world championship debut last year.
The unique concept of the multi-country rally in the heart of Europe has impressed not only its visitors but also officials of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and the WRC promoter. They have recognized the efforts of the international organizational team by including the event on the WRC calendar at this early stage in proceedings. As such, fans can already look forward to the spectacular displays from the mighty rally cars in the future.
The cars transfer well over 500 hp to the asphalt roads when they call upon the combined power of the 1.6-liter turbo engine and the plug-in hybrid drivetrain simultaneously. The FIA World Motor Sport Council resolved in June to continue this technical basis, which is perfectly suited to the concept of the Central European Rally. The combustion engine aspect also has sustainability in mind in the WRC, as the pinnacle of rallying uses 100 percent fossil-free fuel.
125,000 spectators attended last year’s brilliant premiere of the Central European Rally (CER), and the countdown for the second edition is already underway. Tickets for this year’s rally spectacle in the border triangle are already on sale. The FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) will once again take place over four days of spectacular tarmac stages in the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany from October 17th to 20th. Information and tickets to experience the action-packed, world-class motorsport event this year are available at centraleuropeanrally.eu.
