Into the Scandinavian winter WITH YOUR DREAM CAR

For the ultimate rally road trip through the Scandinavian winter, your rally vehicle only has to meet one requirement: It must have style! Whether old school or new school, it's the spirit of adventure that counts.

Fans of Scandinavian automotive tradition choose Volvo Amazon or Saab 99 for the snowy back roads of Sweden and icy coastal routes of Norway.
If you like it rugged, grab a classic 4x4 such as the Mercedes G-Class or Toyota Land Cruiser. Small, compact vehicles such as the BWM E30 and VW Golf are also ideal for the steep mountain passes and winding fjords.

Newtimer, classic & vintage cars, individual and with character, are the perfect adventure vehicles for this unique challenge. 

Cars

• Modern metal: All years of manufacture permitted.
• Classic & vintage cars: 20 years and older.

Motorcycles

• Fresh riders: All years of manufacture permitted.
• Classic & vintage motorbikes: 20 years and older.

A motorcycle team may consist of a maximum of two motorcycles. Individual riders are of course also welcome.

Vans & Trucks

• Neo-Machine: All years of manufacture permitted.
• Classic & vintage commercial vehicles: 20 years and older.

Whether it's a VW Bulli, Magirus Deutz fire truck or A-Team Bus GMC Vandura – anything big and loud is also allowed in the rally.
Motorhomes and caravans are not allowed. Vehicles built exclusively as motorhomes, e.g. with alcoves, etc., are not allowed.

There is no designated maximum value for your rally vehicle.

You can still sign up even if you haven’t gotten your vehicle yet. You have time until the start of the rally to find your perfect set of wheels.

We created the Car Challenge to honor teams with real road legends and iconic cars. We know that participants with these old-school vehicles have to master the rally and its challenges under much tougher conditions.

Therefore, the following applies: The older the vehicle, the more points in the Roadbook Competition.

In the Car Challenge, teams with classic & vintage vehicles that are at least 20 years old receive additional points in the Roadbook Competition. Old school is always cool!

If you don't have one yourself, then have a look at your car-mad friend Peter's garage! And if the dusty Volvo Amazon is no longer there, then the Internet will certainly help you. On the relevant used car portals you will find a wide selection of stylish and suitable cars that are ideal for this rally road trip and comply with the Viking Snow rally regulations.

You can participate in the rally with any normal, roadworthy vehicle—no special modifications are required.

Modifying, upgrading, pimping, lowering, raising... All of this is of course also permitted. So, if you want to spend a lot of money converting your car into the ultimate rally snowmobile, you are allowed to do so.
All modifications must of course be road legal and comply with the technical inspection regulations of the country in which the vehicle is registeredd.

Only you decide! The best thing to do is to drive home happy and full of adventure in your luggage and simply take it again the following year for the next rally adventure!

In all SAC Rallyes, resources are conserved and cultural assets are protected by the preservation and use of modern classic or vintage cars. It is a sign against the throwaway society and against the general consumer behaviour. To purchase a new, "fuel-efficient" leasing vehicle every 2 years causes as much CO₂ during the production of the vehicle as driving a modern classic or vintage car for 10 years through the countryside.
In the context of the Viking Snow rally the participants travel 3 countries in 7 days and cause thereby per person not even a quarter of the CO₂ emission of a flight to Mallorca for a long weekend.
Also, the long-lasting impression of this adventure and the experience of the different cultures remains for years. In contrast to an air trip, here the way is still the goal.

Since vehicles, no matter if electric vehicle or classic car, always emit CO₂, we ask each team for an ECO compensation for the chosen rally vehicle and the driven distance.
The CO₂ emissions caused by each rally team can thus be offset elsewhere by supporting climate protection projects.
