Mountain rally

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Bergrallye is an additional Austrian special form of automotive Berg racing - as defined by the Supreme National Sports Commission for the motor driving sport (OSK) is a short- and Sprint mountain race track with a maximum length of 2000 meters.

Basics

The term mountain rally was established in 1980 by the community of organizers at the time, although the form of the event was derived from mountain races and not from rallying . With the exception of formula cars and group C , you will only drive on paved roads (mostly on asphalt) in competition vehicles that comply with the regulations . These streets are temporary race tracks, commissioned according to motorsport guidelines and closed to normal traffic on the day of the event. In contrast to a rally, the drivers drive against the clock without a co-driver - the time is measured using light barriers and is accurate to a hundredth of a second.

A total of five runs are run on a race day, two of which are training runs in the morning from 9 a.m. and three races in the afternoon from 1 p.m. It is divided into divisions and classes, whereby the structure of the vehicle is decisive for the classification according to the valid FIA regulations.
