Rally Start
The official start of the rally takes place in Tirol in the Ötztal
The event begins at 10 am, the official start takes place between 11 am and 1 pm. All rally participants can already get to know each other the evening before, where we all tune into the upcoming adventure. The pre-adventure-get-together starts at around 6 pm.
Exact information regarding the official event locations will be shared one month in advance.
Former Adventurers, friends and fans are of course very welcome to join the pre-start-get-together and the start event.
Hotel recommendations
In good time before the start of the rally, all teams will receive detailed hotel recommendations for selected stages as well as the complete schedule with all stage destinations.
For special events and evening gatherings, reserved hotel rooms are available in the immediate vicinity of the stage destination.
We will recommend comfortable mid-range hotels with a price range of approximately EUR 120–160 per night for a double room.
All information on available rooms and booking links will be provided after rally registration.
Of course, every participant is free to customize their adventure – whether it's camping on the beach or relaxing in a 5-star spa hotel: the choice is entirely yours.
Even a spontaneous search for suitable overnight accommodation at each stage is usually no problem during the rally period.

Roadbook
This rally is not about speed. Your Roadbook provides you with various opportunities to throw some unknowns into your adventure, by way of decrypting codes and fulfilling certain tasks. Each team will receive the Roadbook at the rally start in Tirol in the Ötztal.
The winner of the Jupiter's Flash Road Book Competition gets a starting spot for a further SAC rally of his choice.
Party Time
Just to make sure you have a chance to share your adventures with the other teams, we’re arranging an amazing party stop along the way. At the official SAC Party, we're all going to camp together. Of course, you can also sleep in your rally-bus or truck. Sleeping at a nearby pension or hotel is also possible!
In Sicily we'll celebrate the winners of Jupiter's Flash with a big send-off event and of course, we'll crown the winners.
At the official rally start, we’ll let you know where exactly the events are.
