The Silmet Rally Příbram will take place this coming weekend

Friday 24 and Saturday 25 July will be a treat for all motor racing fans – that’s when the 45th Silmet Rally Příbram takes place.

Preparations for the rally, which was first held in 1979 and has been run annually ever since, with a few minor exceptions, are now in their final stages. So what can we expect from the 45th Silmet Rally Příbram? The event kicks off on Friday 24 July with a pre-race show on T. G. Masaryk Square – the supporting programme begins at 5.00 pm, followed by the presentation of the crews and an autograph session with the drivers at 7.00 pm.

The main programme – the race itself, featuring eight special stages and more than 120 registered crews – will begin on Saturday 25 July. “The start and finish of the race will once again be at T. G. Masaryk Square in Příbram this year. The crews will begin taking their places on the starting ramp from 9.00 am, and once the entire race has been completed, they will return to the finish line in the town centre shortly after 5.00 pm,” says Mayor Jan Konvalinka.
