Based in the Bavarian city of Passau, the rally serves up a mix of roads unlike anything else on the calendar. One moment it's wide and flowing through the Czech hills; the next, it’s tight, technical and slippery through the forests of Lower Bavaria. Throw in autumn weather that can change by the hour and you’ve got a rally where conditions are never constant – and confidence is everything.
Launched in 2023, this event has already carved out a reputation as a modern asphalt classic.

About the Rally
The Challenge
Did you know?
- The inaugural Central European Rally took place in 2023.
- It’s the only WRC event to run across three countries in a single weekend – Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.
- Stages are notoriously changeable. Several WRC drivers described it as “the most difficult asphalt rally of the year.”
- The rally's service park is in Passau, Germany, but key stages are also held near Krumlov (CZE) and around Mühlviertel (AUT).
- Weather conditions in 2024 saw wet stages, heavy fog, and dry Tarmac all within the same loop.
