PHILOSOPHY
The Ennstal-Classic brings old cars to their borders and allows their drivers to find out what is possible on today`s streets with cars from yesterday.

No electronic devices, only analogue watches. Whoever takes part in our event experiences a feeling of success which is unique. To drive the Ennstal also means joining a network of friendship. Up to 53 different car brands are represented every year. This diversity is very important to us. Very special cars with a very special history, representing milestones of technique at their times.

DRIVING IN THE LAST PARADISE
They still exist and we drive them: the last lightly-trafficked streets of the Alpine regions. Driving like 50 years ago is what it is all about. An scene which is recreated on the Ennstal-Classic.

Were do the participants of the Ennstal-Classic find the last paradise? They do on the beautiful Alpine roads, crossing enchanted passes either in the early morning - to gain strength for the 12-hour Orange Marathon - or in the evening when the finish is near.

Enthusiastic spectators line the villages along the route, demonstrating their love for nostalgia to the participants. Adventure is everywhere:
as the countryside becomes lonelier and the headlights are switched on. While the stop watch records hundredths of a second, the eyes of each co-driver stare at the road book, those of the driver at the oil-pressure gauge. Thunderstorms arise and try to distract the participants from paradise.

Such is the mixture: paradise plus sporting challenge plus adventure equals a product charged with emotion - an event which has become a cult during the last 18 years - the Ennstal-Classic.
