The 6-person La Cochera Classica team was able to experience three unforgettable days in the picturesque setting of the Südsteiermark Rallye from April 25-27, 2024.
Classicism and nostalgia, paired with sporting ambition, exclusivity and enthusiasm: these are the ingredients of the Südsteiermark-Classic with start and finish in Gamlitz, the heart of southern Styria.
The region, known for its idyllic vineyards and culinary delights, offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable experience. The La Cochera Classica team arrived with three impressive vehicles of their collection: the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster from 1957, the Mercedes-Benz 220 S from 1956 and the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL from 1967.
The 160 teams from seven nations had to complete three days of driving, warm-up on Thursday, Friday, the big “South-East Styria Round” and on Saturday “The Wine Roads of Southern Styria” with 21 special stages, 13 of which were on closed-off stretches. Each special stage was a great challenge and variety.
Along the way, the participants were able to enjoy the beauty of the landscape to the full, from rolling hills to lush vineyards. The warm atmosphere, the organization and planning of the Südsteiermark Rallye and the hospitality of the people made the team feel immediately welcome. The beautiful Weinlandhof in Gamlitz (www.weinlandhof.at) took care of the guests’ physical well-being. One of the highlights of their stay was the exchange with enthusiasts and connoisseurs from the world of classic cars, as well as exploring the local wineries and tasting the first-class wines from the region.
The participation in Südsteiermark in April 2024 was an unforgettable journey full of discoveries, great new acquaintances and unforgettable moments that warmed our hearts for this unique region. And for sure we are already looking forward to the next Südsteiermark Rallye.
