Exactly one month before the end of the year, the organising team from the South Bohemian team ČK motorsport is opening registrations for competitions that will be part of the Classic Challenge 2026 vintage rally calendar in the coming season.

The main venue for the seventh Spring Classic will be the town of Písek on Saturday, 18 April, where the inaugural competition was held in 2020. We are preparing a brand new track for the crews and a closing gala evening in the prestigious premises of the local Cultural Center. Preparations for the rally are in full swing, and we will provide details well in advance.

The second event included in the Classic Challenge 2026 will be, as last year, the Czech Classic, centred in Litomyšl in eastern Bohemia. The fourth edition of the competition, organised by Přemysl Jun’s team, will take place just before the start of the summer holidays on Saturday, 20 June.

The Classic Challenge will traditionally culminate with the largest domestic one-hundredth rally, the South Bohemia Classic. The most important part of the seventeenth edition will take place on 4 and 5 September at the Hotel Resort Relax in Dolní Vltavice, and the popular Grand Prix Kaplice will be an integral part of the programme.

In addition to online registration for the Spring Classic, Czech Classic and South Bohemia Classic, the preliminary rules are also available on the one-hundredth rally website, which have undergone only cosmetic changes compared to last year.

If you are interested in participating in all Classic Challenge events, please use the Spring Classic application form and tick the individual competitions there.

The discounted combined entry fee can be paid until 31 March 2026, and the reduced deposit offer for individual events is valid until the end of 2025.

New this year is the partnership between ČK motorsport and the organisers of the Břetislav Enge Memorial, which will be part of the Speed Festival motorsport event in Česká Lípa on 11 and 12 September. Participants in any of the Classic Challenge events can register for this hundredth rally as part of their application and also take advantage of the lower deposit offer. This year, the event will be a candidate competition for the series, and participants can expect the same rules and proven timing from the Bohemia Timing group in northern Bohemia.
