Special permit for racing with motor vehicles Issue

If you want to hold road races, you must apply for a permit beforehand.

The relevant road traffic authorities can issue permits for excessive road use in accordance with Section 29 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO).

This legal basis stipulates a permit requirement for events that use the road more than is customary and for vehicles that exceed the generally permitted legal limits.

Please contact the relevant road traffic authorities.

• map material,
• Proof of insurance,
• Route acceptance protocol/route report,

The authority will then hear all public interest groups and, after evaluating the comments, decide on the possibility of granting the requested exemption for racing on public roads.

The application must be submitted at least 6 weeks before the start of the event.
