The Automobile Club Luxembourg (ACL) has confirmed that, from Monday 1 to Thursday 4 September 2025, the ADAC Europa Classic (car rally) will visit Luxembourg for the first time.
On carefully selected routes, created in collaboration with route manager Ed Goedert, even those familiar with Luxembourg's roads will discover new facets of their country.
The base camp will be the recently opened Motorworld in Wincrange, located between Esch-sur-Alzette and Luxembourg.
Whether through the lush vineyards of the Moselle, the rolling valleys of the Oesling in the north, or the capital of Luxembourg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, participants in the ADAC Europa Classic 2025 will discover a unique blend of medieval charm and modern refinement over the four days of the tour.
Since 2018, the ADAC Europa Classic has been offering "vintage car tours" of a special kind, each year in a different European country. The special appeal lies in the shared discovery of the "country and its people," as tests of speed and consistency are deliberately avoided. Instead, the tourist rallies allow visitors to visit tourist attractions, sample regional specialties, and test their knowledge and skills in small games.
The teams with the most points are rewarded at the gala evening. After these exciting days, participants enjoy a pleasant evening of local flavour in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
