2023 Ardennenrit
This year the rally slightly moved from its normal region, due to a special cause. In 2021 there was heavy flooding in the Ahrtal region, causing massive destruction of houses, infrastructure and sometimes everything people worked for in a matter of minutes. This is the reason why the rally explored the Eifel mountains this year, as we visited the disaster area. While doing so we supported a local business by stopping by and collecting wine from the winery directly. During the rest of the day the participants enjoy a modular roadbook giving people options of a 230, 260, 270 or 305km long route. To top it all off, a visit to the Nürburgring was possible for those that wanted it.

2020 WAX-IT Rally 3.0: Eifel Rennen
As is tradition with the WAX-IT Rally, we once again moved our target area. After Belgium and Luxembourg, the time had now come for the participants to explore Germany. The Eifel region has a very rich motorsport history, with legendary races at the Nurburgring and many hill climb events throughout the years. A lesser known event was the Eifel Rennen, a race on public roads from the 1920's which eventually sparked the need to build the Nurburgring. It was a street track, built out of normal roads in the vicinity of the Rursee. The old paddock area was based in Nideggen in a castle ruins, which now houses a Michelin-starred restaurant. The fourty cars got to enjoy the full Eifel Rennen experience, with a lap around parts of the old racetrack and lunch in the castle, before heading off to another motorsport themed location: Spa.
