When the historic rally world gathers again in Daun on the last weekend of July (July 27th/29th, 2023), the fans can certainly look forward to watching a first-class entry. Just two weeks after the opening of the application list for this year's ADAC Eifel Rally Festival, it was not just the maximum available one hundred and fifty starting places that had been reached – there were more than two hundred crews wanting to participate. "We will close the entry portal on April 10th otherwise the waiting list will be too long," explained organisation manager Otmar Anschütz with one laughing and one crying eye

Olivier Hermans from Belgium also had his first Eifel experience before the festival in the Slowly Sideways supporting programme. "The tracks are beautiful, everything is perfectly organised and runs on time. The spectators are motor sport enthusiasts and last but not least, the "Trabi" is a German car. I am always thrilled when I see how many people from all over the world come to Daun, as participants or as fans.

Gerd Dicks was the engine man at Toyota, both in the World Rally Championship, LeMans and Formula 1. With his original Group B Toyota Celica Turbo from 1986, which was driven by Lars-Eric Torph at Olympus Rallye back then, he is a regular guest in the Eifel. "Already in 2010, when we drove in the supporting programme of the DRM, many fans came to Daun especially because of us.

Patrick Berghaus has been competing continuously since 2000, always with one of the two family-owned Metros. Until 2018 always with father Peter, after his illness with Karin John.
Even before the festival, when we drove at the DRM rally in Daun as part of the Slowly Sideways programme, many fans came especially for us. But with the festival, it suddenly became huge, really gigantic.

The presale of the programmes and tickets will start as planned on 01.04.2023. In order to optimise the dispatch and to expand the offer, the sale of the programme booklet and tickets will be organised via the RallyWebShop this year.

Entry list opens on 01.03.2023 at 09.00 o'clock. You can reach the entry form in the area Participants > Entry form.

You can find the approval - regulations and the regulations and further forms in the area Participants > Noticeboard.

Friends of rallying worldwide – and of historic rally cars in particular – should highlight the date of July 27th/29th, 2023 in their diaries. Between those dates, the Volcanic Eifel region around Daun will once again be transformed into a mobile rally museum. More than one hundred and fifty rally cars, either originals or faithfully built contemporary replicas, will be exhibited on the Rally Mile in Daun.
