This was the 9th vintage car rally in 2024
On June 22, 2024, the popular phanTECHNIKUM classic car rally took place for the ninth time. In bright sunshine and a great atmosphere, the museum grounds and the streets of Northwest Mecklenburg were transformed into a magnificent stage for classic vehicles. This year's event broke all previous records in terms of the number of participants and once again confirmed its status as a highlight for classic car enthusiasts.
The route took them along the picturesque coastal route of the island of Poel, from Wismar via Redentin, Gollwitz and Timmendorf to the harbor in Kirchdorf and back to the phanTECHNIKUM. The breathtaking views of the Baltic coast and the opportunity to take souvenir photos in Timmendorf provided unforgettable moments. With over 400 guests, 97 participating vehicles and 73 co-drivers, the museum's 9th rally broke all previous records and attracted almost 25% more drivers than last year.
The variety of participating vehicles was impressive: elegant classics from the 1930s, powerful muscle cars from the 1970s and rare vehicles from the GDR attracted the attention of the spectators and provided numerous photo opportunities. Our audience was able to admire the beautiful vintage cars up close and talk to the proud owners. A special highlight this year was the cooperation with the OCC Küstentrophy. More than 75 vehicles and almost 190 drivers made a stop at the phanTECHNIKUM on their route along the Baltic Sea coast and into the Schwerin Lake District, giving the public the opportunity to experience two rallies in one day. From a 1939 Rolls Royce to a 1970s Ferrari, enthusiasts of the scene were able to exchange ideas across all brands.
The mixture of glorious weather, impressive vehicles and a great community created a special atmosphere that will be remembered for a long time to come. We would like to thank all participants!
Next year, the classic car rally at the phanTECHNIKUM will celebrate its tenth anniversary. We will definitely come up with something very special for this anniversary. Stay tuned!
