2026 Gaisbergrennen Salzburg

Three-day historic-automobile regularity event in and around Salzburg combining a city circuit, the Gaisberg hillclimb and sessions at the Salzburgring. Organised by SRC Salzburg Rallye Club OG, the programme includes scrutineering, a Stadt Grand Prix, timed Gaisberg runs and prizegiving at Hangar‑7.

Spectators can follow action at multiple public locations across Salzburg; competitors are limited to 130 historic cars built up to 31 December 1979.

Small-field historic motorsport with accessible viewing spots across the city and on the Gaisberg hill.

What makes it worth the trip:

• A rare chance to see 130 verified historic cars on a closed 1.8 km city circuit at Residenzplatz and on the 8,652 m Gaisberg hill course with 672 m elevation gain.
• Mix of formats in one weekend: city sprints, hillclimb timed runs and Salzburgring value laps give varied viewing experiences.
• Official organisation and limited entries make the field high-quality and focused on period-correct cars.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early for the Residenzplatz presentations, move to designated spectator points on Gaisberg for timed runs, and finish the day at Salzburgring or Hangar‑7 events. Use local transport or shuttle information from organisers to avoid narrow hill roads and limited parking.
