In October, the "hybrid monsters" of the World Rally Championship raced through Upper Austria as part of the Central European Rally. By 2025, however, the project that heralded a more sustainable era three years ago will be history. The "Krone" knows the reasons for this and why rallying is still considered a pioneer.

The first saplings were planted almost six years ago - and this year too, the organizers of the Jännerrallye buried over 2000 saplings in the ground in the region around Freistadt to compensate for the CO2 emissions caused.
