About Rust'n'Dust Jalopy

Rust'n'Dust Jalopy transforms the historic Bergring Teterow into a journey back to the 1940s and 1950s for a weekend in early summer. Only vehicles manufactured before 1962 compete on the grass track – a unique combination of hill climb and dirt track race in Germany. Rock'n'Roll bands, DJs, a festival tent, and a paddock create the atmosphere of American race-and-party weekends.

Race & Rock'n'Roll on the Bergring

Rust'n'Dust Jalopy is not a classic motorsport event, but a vintage festival in the style of the 1940s and 1950s. The venue is the traditional Bergring Teterow, whose grass track with its inclines and declines perfectly matches the nostalgic character of the event.

The special feature: only classic cars and classic bikes manufactured before 1962 are allowed on the track. A unique combination of hill climb and dirt track race in Germany is held – a spectacle for lovers of historic vehicles.

More than a race

A complete festival weekend is created around the racing activities: classic cars and bikes are parked right in the middle of the action in the paddock with catering stands, beer stands, bars, and exhibitors. In the evenings, live Rock'n'Roll bands and DJs take over the festival tent, creating the atmosphere of American race-and-party weekends of the 50s and 60s.

Camping in the middle of the action

The festival is designed for overnight guests: the campground opens as early as Thursday evening, and the infield of the Bergring offers ample space for campers and vehicles.
