New Gülze is preparing for a spectacular autocross debut!

An exciting event is coming up between Neu Gülze and Zahrensdorf! The first Neu Gülzer autocross race will take place on September 20, 2025 at 9 a.m. Metal rods and white and red ribbons in a field already indicate the upcoming spectacle. The race is organized by Marcel Windt and Henrik König, the latter has over ten years of experience in autocross and is already a two-time champion in his class. This event is designed not only to delight local motorsport fans, but also to celebrate König's success in his homeland, where he currently leads the overall standings in his class by just two points.

The excitement is rising as over 100 drivers from Prignitz and the entire north of Germany are expected to fight for the crown on the track. The vehicles are divided into different classes, with a power range from 60 hp to an impressive 800 hp. Top speeds of up to 100 km/h can be achieved here. Safety is also not neglected: to protect the audience, walls and furrows will be set up between the track and the spectator seats, and hearing protection is recommended, especially for children.

Autocross and its fascination

What exactly is autocross? This exciting form of motorsport takes place on unpaved race tracks and allows everyone involved to show off their driving skills in a thrilling competition. The races can take place on courses ranging from 600 to 2000 meters long, often made of sand, earth or gravel. First held in England in the 1940s, autocross has developed into a popular sport over the years and is now also popular in Mecklenburg.

Vehicles used for autocross are subject to relatively low technical requirements, but must meet strict safety standards. These include roll cages and safe racing seats. Contact between vehicles is also permitted as long as it remains fair. Unlike rallycross, which takes place on permanent tracks, and conventional rallies in which you race against time, autocross involves direct duels on the racetrack, which makes the races particularly nerve-wracking.

Preparations for the autocross race are in full swing. Heino and Henrik König received great support in implementing their idea and are looking forward to the event. Not only will it be a spectacle for motorsport enthusiasts, but this event could also have a positive impact on the region by attracting visitors and new fans.

There are numerous options for anyone who might want to get into the sport themselves. Whether trial days or special offers for children, autocross is an exciting sport in which everyone can gain their first experience. Anyone interested should contact a club or local club to find out more about entry options.

So be there when the first Neu Gülzer Autocross race on September 20th gets the region moving and lets off a lot of steam on the track!
