ADAC Oldtimer Rallye Rund um die Hünengräber

Hünengräber as the namesake

The Wildeshauser Geest is one of the densest megalithic landscapes in Northern Germany. Several dozen Neolithic burial mounds (Hünengräber) are scattered around Wildeshausen — the Visbecker Braut and the Visbecker Bräutigam are among the most famous. The rally uses this landscape as a reference point and leads participants on routes that pass several of these archaeological testimonies.

Regularity Rally — Precision Instead of Speed

Unlike classic speed rallies, a regularity rally is about precisely adhering to predetermined average speeds and time targets. The teams — usually a driver and co-driver — must calculate their driving time to hit the target time as closely as possible at the measurement points. This makes the rally a competition of route planning, concentration, and vehicle control — also suitable for older classics that should no longer be driven at full throttle.

Oldtimer-Club Delmenhorst

For decades, OC Delmenhorst e.V. has been one of the most active classic car clubs in the region. With its members, it organizes rallies, regular meetups, group drives, and workshop appointments. The Rallye Rund um die Hünengräber is its annual flagship event and highlight in the club's calendar.

ADAC Weser-Ems

The event is held under the umbrella of ADAC Weser-Ems, ensuring its integration into the ADAC sports regulations and the insurance standard for participants. The route is approved, secured, and manned by marshals at important intersections.

U-25 Tariff as a New Feature

With the new U-25 tariff of 75 Euros, the organizer is responding to the general pressing question in the classic car scene of how to attract younger people to classic motorsport. The tariff underscores the ambition to pass the event on across generations.
