Adrenaline, battles, and gravel in the air: Rallycross champions are coming to the SLOVAKIA RING!

Orechová Potôň, October 13, 2025 – The end of the motorsport season at the SLOVAKIA RING will bring a serious dose of adrenaline! From October 17 to 19, the circuit will host the best rallycross drivers as part of the OMV MaxxMotion FIA CEZ Rallycross 2025 – the final major international event of the year.

Rallycross: Where Circuit Racing Meets Rally

The FIA Central European Rallycross Trophy has been a regular feature of the calendar since 2015 and ranks among the most thrilling motorsport disciplines. Rallycross combines the best of both rallying and circuit racing – drivers don’t race against the clock here, but go head-to-head with opponents on the track, where every second and every bit of courage counts.
After the start on the main straight, drivers transition to a gravel surface, which makes up 35% of the 1,400-meter circuit. A key feature is the legendary Joker Lap – a special section 25 meters longer that each driver must complete at least once. The timing of the Joker can completely change the race – the winner can become the loser, and an underdog might steal the show.

Drama in Every Lap

The weekend program kicks off with free practice, followed by qualifying heats (each four laps long). Sunday brings the semifinals and a thrilling final with six laps. Six cars line up at the start in three rows – and in every lap, it’s a fierce fight for every centimeter of track.

Almost 140 Drivers from Five Countries

Drivers from six European countries will compete for points not only in the FIA CEZ zone trophy but also in national championships of Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Hungary, along with the Czech Historic Vehicle Trophy (ČTHV) and the Rallycross Cup. Fans can look forward to a diverse range of cars – from raw SuperCars to STC classes of various engine sizes and the fast S1600s.

Spectators at the Heart of the Action

Spectators will have access to grandstands A and B, as well as the paddock area, where they can watch the drivers and their teams up close. Tickets are available online and at the main circuit ticket office.
