Carbajosa de la Sagrada hosts the start of the largest 'Spain Classic Raid' in history
The Salamanca municipality of Carbajosa de la Sagrada is preparing for an unprecedented automotive event. This weekend, the town will be the starting point for the largest edition of the 'Spain Classic Raid', an endurance competition that brings together vehicles manufactured more than 25 years ago. On this occasion, the event will feature a record participation of 170 classic cars.
The 'Spain Classic Raid' is a unique competition in Spain, as participants must travel hundreds of kilometers along dirt roads and rural tracks. Unlike speed races, the main objective is regularity and navigation. Drivers must follow a precise roadbook to complete the stages without getting lost while maintaining a constant average speed.
The caravan of classic vehicles will travel across a large part of Spanish geography over the coming days. This event not only attracts motor enthusiasts from all over the country, but also serves to highlight the natural and rural heritage of the areas through which the participants pass. The organization has emphasized that safety and respect for the environment are the priorities throughout the journey.
For the inhabitants of Carbajosa and motor fans, the start is a highly anticipated moment. During the opening day, the public will be able to see up close historic models that, despite their age, prove they are still capable of overcoming difficult terrain. The competition will conclude after several days of adventure, consolidating itself as one of the most important events for vintage car collectors in Europe.
