Via Flaminia - Peaks of the Alps

From September 4 until September 11, 2021

One of the major challenges in Austria is to get to know your way. In Italy authorities are much more welcoming, in Austria, you need to know your way. This is way we approached Kurt Dichtl, who – for many years – has been organising the Austria Classic. We will be running his 2020 event. Of course we add a bit of our Via Flaminia “sauce”.

The rally is supported by the department of tourism from Osttirol.

Actually, many of our participants have participated to one of his rallies, and to great satisfaction.

The rally will centre on the 5-star Grand Hotel Lienz. Each day will see a different route into the mountains, sometimes into Italy onto the Dolomites, some days we remain in Austria.

The challenge is not so much in finding the correct route. It is much more in driving some of the narrow and steep stretches and taking the numerous hairpins. The welcoming hotel with all the facilities and especially with a well stocked bar at the terrace is crucial after each day at the wheel.

As with all the rallies organized by Via Flaminia the competition serves the atmosphere, winning is not a goal on itself. Those who want to have a stop for a coffee can do so. No time constraint. The classification is done through navigation and some special stages. The competition for the last place can be fierce.

There are 30 entry positions for cars up to 1980.
