60th Anniversary Cavalcade - Historic roar of rally engines
A nostalgic selection of old rally cars will run through half a dozen special stages to mark the occasion of the 60th Jubilee Event. Nearly 20 models from the 50´s to 90´s represent a remarkable development from the earliest days of special stage rallying. 
This cavalcade will precede the arrival of competitors on six special stages: one on Thursday, three on Friday and two on Saturday. Each model of car has had a significant role to play in this event.
They did not all manage to win, but are surely fondly remembered by seasoned spectators. A Fiat 131 Abarth is a very different animal to a Trabant, but both have been a regular feature of the "Gravel Grand Prix".
The shapes, sounds and even sizes reveal a fascinating insight into rally car development from modestly prepared sedans to specialized forest racers. Still, every one of them somehow managed to offer a spectacle of its own kind. Just listen to the once familiar sounds of a two-stroke Saab and a turbocharged Audi Quattro.
