As the new racing season approaches, excitement is building in the motorsport community, particularly with the introduction of a new category for historic rallycross vehicles. This season marks a significant milestone for racers, especially for those with vintage cars, as they prepare to compete in a fresh environment that celebrates the legacy of rallycross racing.

One of the standout competitors is a female driver from the Weinviertel region, who has gained recognition as one of the fastest female racers in the area. With a vintage car dating back to 1995, she is eager to take on the challenge of the newly formed class, which allows vehicles built up until that year to participate. Her enthusiasm for the sport is palpable, as she prepares for the season opener at the AV-Niederösterreich Rallycross event in Melk, held at the iconic Wachauring.

This inaugural event will see her go head-to-head with several accomplished drivers, including a notable competitor driving a Mercedes-Benz C190 and another racing in a VW Golf I GTI. The anticipation of engaging in spirited competition on the track is a driving force for her. The thrill of racing and the camaraderie among competitors create an electrifying atmosphere that she looks forward to.

The introduction of the historic class is expected to draw a diverse range of participants, bringing together seasoned racers and newcomers alike. This initiative not only highlights the evolution of rallycross but also acknowledges the importance of preserving the history of motorsports. As the community embraces this new chapter, it promises to foster a renewed sense of excitement and competition.

Racers are encouraged to prepare for an exhilarating season filled with challenges and opportunities for growth. The historic rallycross class is set to provide a platform for showcasing driving skills while paying homage to the rich legacy of the sport.
