The RechbergrennenOrganizing Committee thinks and acts sustainably!
After the tree seedling distribution campaign carried out in March 2024 together with the municipalities of Fladnitz an der Teichalm and Semriach , the organizing committee of the Rechbergrennen is setting another milestone for sustainability:
In cooperation with the German-based energy supplier NORDOEL (E-Fuels for the Future | NORDOEL), the vehicles of the race management, the track safety officer and the advance vehicles will run on renewable fuels from 2025.
NORDOEL produces synthetic petrol as part of the research project DeCarTrans, which is funded by the German government. The fuel consists of sustainably produced methanol and therefore has up to 99% renewable components.
This reduces new CO2 emissions – directly, sustainably and forward-looking. These fuels are used by the BMW MOTORRAD Motorsport Team in the WorldSBK, among others, and in 2024 the world championship title was won with fuels from NORDOEL. In addition, NORDOEL has been successfully participating in the ADAC 24h race at the Nürburgring with regenerative fuels in the AT class since 2022.
The Austrian Mountain Grand Prix thus confirms ‘s leading role in Europe in terms of sustainability.
In addition to the tree seedling distribution campaign carried out in March 2024 together with the municipalities of Fladnitz an der Teichalm and Semriach and the operation of the advance vehicles with synthetic, sustainable fuel as part of the 2025 event, the organizing committee of the Rechbergrennen is setting another milestone for sustainability:
In cooperation with the market town of Passail, the specialist car company Lembacher and the Almenland climate and energy model region, the number of electric vehicles in the eCar sharing project in Passail has been doubled:
As of now, two electric vehicles – a brand new FORD Explorer (“Reini”) and the tried and tested E – Golf (“Hans”) – are waiting to be borrowed and used.
In this way, the organizing committee of Rechbergrennen GmbH supportsCO2-neutral local transport and can thus offset part of the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the competition vehicles during the event.
The Grand Prix of Austria thus confirms its leading role throughout Europe in terms of sustainability.

A special evening with sponsors, patrons, and supporters
Mario Klammer, Peter Eibisberger, and Christian Ferstl were all in a relaxed mood that evening — preparations for both classic events are going very well.
“We are right on schedule, and even ahead in some areas. The experiences from last year have helped us tremendously. Many tasks, purchases, and discussions have already been completed, and now we’re moving on to fine-tuning,” the trio explains in unison.
“But we wanted to take the opportunity to thank our strong partners in advance and give them an insight into the preparations,” says Peter Eibisberger, who, together with Mario Klammer, is responsible for the sporting and event-related aspects.
And Mario Klammer adds: “Without our long-standing partners and sponsors, it would simply be impossible to organize two such fantastic motorsport events in the district. That’s why we use this gathering as an opportunity to get to know each other even better and to further strengthen our existing network. Over time, true friendships have developed with our partners.”
Christian Ferstl confirms this as well: “Many mutual business collaborations show that we are on a very good path to continue having strong and loyal partners by our side for both events. Without their fantastic support, neither the Rechbergrennen nor the Rallye Weiz would be possible. So, a big thank you from me as well!”
The mayors and sponsors also had only praise to share.
For example, Peter Greiter (Knill Group – main sponsor of the Rallye Weiz) said: “It perfectly matches our company culture: innovation, progress, and forward-thinking are deeply embedded in our philosophy. We are also planning a sustainability project that will serve as a beacon for other events.”
Ewald Münzer (Münzer Bio-Industrie) and Roland Pfeifenberger (Suzuki Austria) echoed this sentiment: “We’ve also been part of this for many years, and with great enthusiasm, because there’s so much passion and commitment here — values that we also live by in our companies!”
Nina Darnhofer from the Erlebnisregion Oststeiermark added: “The enormous popularity of the Rechbergrennen and the Rallye Weiz brings large numbers of fans from many European countries to our region year after year. They generate revenue through overnight stays, shopping, and more — and they love our hospitality, which is repeatedly confirmed to us.”
The mayors of all the municipalities hosting these two events are also very optimistic that both internationally renowned motorsport classics will continue to have their place in beautiful Eastern Styria in the future.
A special highlight of the evening was the presentation of a youth development project for the talented Luca Schlegl (2024 Kart National Champion from Schrems near Frohnleiten). The evening also featured many lively conversations about motorsport with drivers such as Felix Pailer, Hermann Neubauer, Kevin Raith, and Andreas Höfler.
A raffle, where participants had the chance to win a passenger ride in the Porsche 911 GT3 R with Leo Pichler (ADAC GT Masters driver from Weiz), along with exquisite culinary delights provided by Mensch Mayer, rounded off this successful evening with sponsors.
Fans can experience the legendary hill climb classic at the Rechberg on the weekend of April 25–27, 2025. Tickets for the race weekend can already be ordered via the official website: www.rechbergrennen.co.at.
The ultimate rally feeling awaits fans in the summer — the Rallye Weiz will take place from July 17–19, 2025.
All kinds of information — continuously updated — can be found on the official websites www.rechbergrennen.co.at and www.rallye-weiz.at, as well as on our social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.
As a result of the detailed sustainability analysis of the 2023 event, a tree seedling distribution campaign was carried out in March 2024 together with the municipalities of Fladnitz an der Teichalm and Semriach.
During this campaign, 1,000 tree seedlings were distributed to residents along the Rechberg main road. These trees will sustainably offset the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the race cars during the event.
A valuable evening with sponsors, patrons and supporters
Mario Klammer, Peter Eibisberger and Christian Ferstl are very relaxed on this evening, as preparations for both classics are going very well.
“We are right on schedule, even ahead of schedule for some things. The experience from last year has helped us a lot, many of the errands, purchases and discussions have already been completed and now we’re going into fine-tuning,” the trio explains in unison.
“But we wanted to thank our strong partners in advance and give them an insight into the preparations,” says Peter Eibisberger, who, together with Mario Klammer, is responsible for the sporting and technical aspects of the event.
And Mario Klammer adds: “Without our long-standing partners and sponsors, it would simply be impossible to organize two such great motorsport events in the district. That’s why we are using this meeting as an opportunity to get to know each other and further strengthen our existing network. Real friendships have developed with our partners in the meantime.”
This is also confirmed by Christian Ferstl: “Many counter-deals show that we are on the right track to continue to have large and strong partners at our two events. Without their fantastic support, neither the Rechbergrennen nor the Rally Weiz would be possible. So a big thank you from me too!”
The mayors and sponsors are also full of praise.
Peter Greiter (Knill Group – main sponsor of the Rallye Weiz), for example: “It simply fits in with our corporate culture: innovation, progress and forward thinking are also deeply rooted in our company philosophy. Among other things, we are planning a sustainability project that will serve as a beacon for other events.”
Ewald Münzer (Münzer Bio-Industrie) and Roland Pfeifenberger (Suzuki Austria) are also on the same wavelength: “We too have been involved for a long time and with great pleasure, because there is a lot of passion and full commitment here – and we also live this in our companies!”
Nina Darnhofer from the Oststeiermark adventure region:
“The high profile and popularity of the Rechbergrennen and the Weiz Rally alone brings a large number of fans from many European countries to our region year after year. And they in turn also generate revenue through overnight stays, purchases and much more. And they love our hospitality – this is confirmed time and time again.”
And the mayors of all the municipalities in which the two events take place are all confident that the two internationally renowned events will continue to have their place in beautiful Eastern Styria in the future.
A young talent promotion project for the fast Luca Schlegl (2024 national karting champion from Schrems near Frohnleiten) was presented for the first time on this evening and there were also many petrol talks with the drivers present, including Felix Pailer, Hermann Neubauer, Kevin Raith and Andreas Höfler.
A competition, in which a ride in the Porsche 911 GT3 R of Leo Pichler (ADAC GT Masters driver from Weiz) could be bid on, and very fine culinary delights from Mensch Mayer rounded off the successful sponsors’ evening.
Fans can experience the great mountain classic on the Rechberg on the weekend of April 25 to 27, 2025. Tickets for the race weekend can already be ordered via the homepage(www.rechbergrennen.co.at).
Fans can then experience the ultimate rally feeling in the summer. The Weiz Rally will take place from July 17 to 19, 2025.
Information of all kinds – constantly updated, of course – is available on the homepages www.rechbergrennen.co.at and www.rallye-weiz.at as well as on the social media channels of Facebook and Instagram.

From 2025, two further impulses will be set:
The e-car sharing service offered by the Almenland climate and energy model region in cooperation with the market town of Passail is financially supported by Rechbergrennen GmbH. (From the planned renewal of the electric vehicle in the 1st quarter of 2025).
The average annual mileage of the electric vehicle of 20,000 km and the operation of the vehicles of the organizing committee results in a saving of greenhouse gas emissions of at least 4.0 tons of CO2e. (The life cycle assessment of passenger cars, Federal Environment Agency, published by the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology(rep0763.pdf)).
The Grand Prix of Austria thus confirms its leading role throughout Europe in terms of sustainability.
The vehicles of the race management, the track safety officer and the advance vehicles will run on sustainable fuel from 2025.
