Reality, Adventure & Competition Across Continents
🌱 CO₂ neutral ambition
What's Happening Here?
Imagine: 20 teams, 20 vehicles – cars, motorcycles, electric pioneers, and classic veterans – departing from Budapest on August 5, 2027. The goal? Not just to arrive somewhere, but to experience 133 days on the world's most spectacular, human, and unforgiving roads.
Budapest → Belgrade → Istanbul → Georgia → Azerbaijan → Kazakhstan → China → Japan → Alaska → USA → New York → Rotterdam → Budapest
This is not a classic rally. Not a travel documentary. Not a reality show. It's all three at once – and something more: an experiment to prove that the love of cars and motorcycles is stronger than any border, politics, or prejudice.
🕊️ Peace Through Passion
This is not a marketing slogan. This is the mission: to prove that shared passion unites us, regardless of where we come from.
Why Is This Different From Other Competitions?
🎯 Not a Speed Race
The winner won't be who drives fastest. The winner will be who plays smartest. You earn points for stages, challenges, community events, and audience votes.
🎬 Cameras Everywhere
A 140-episode road film will be created. You'll see the tension, joy, exhaustion – real emotions, real people. Reality format, authentic content.
👥 Active Audience
Viewers vote, like, influence decisions. But fairly: daily votes are capped, so popularity alone isn't enough.
🌱 Responsible Adventure
CO₂ neutral ambition: compensation programs, electric vehicle support, conscious organization. Not perfect – but we're working on it.

Four Categories – Everyone Finds Their Place
| Category | Vehicle | Multiplier | Entry Fee | Special Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏛️ Heritage | Pre-1965 classics | ×1.2 | €15,000 | Vehicle age × 3 = starting points |
| 🚗 Modern | Post-1965 cars | ×1.0 | €15,000 | Reference category |
| ⚡ Electric Pioneer | EV / Hybrid | ×1.15 | €15,000 | Future technology, green points |
| 🏍️ Moto/Bike | Motorcycle, motorbike | ×1.1 | €12,000 | Best price/experience ratio |
Example Calculation – Heritage Category
If you start with a 1963 car: 2027 - 1963 = 64 years
Starting points: 64 × 3 = 192 points (before the first kilometer!)
Plus: every stage point counts with ×1.2 multiplier.
