The changed racetrack of the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo main race on Sunday is generating a lot of interest this year.
In 2024, the legendary signature checkpoint Carl’s Dinner will be served in the first half of the race. Carl’s Dinner is a section of the track littered with boulders, some as high as a man, that demands everything from the riders and requires excellent riding technique. With a total length of 3,700 metres (divided into 3 sections), the section is considered one of the toughest tests in Hard Enduro sport. “By moving Carl’s Dinner to the first half of the race, we want to give as many participants as possible the chance to experience this iconic section with all its challenges for themselves. We are expecting around 200-250 riders in Carl’s Dinner this year, so spectacular motorsport action is definitely guaranteed. Extreme Enduro athletes love to take on the most difficult tasks and the Red Bull Erzbergodeo offers exactly this challenge!”, says Karl Katoch…
The other track highlights are of course also back on the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo menu in 2024: with 24MX Wasserleitung (CP1), Blakläder Zentrum am Berg (CP4), Wacker Neuson (CP6), George Avenue (CP12), Machine (CP14), Elevator (CP17), Motorex Highway (CP23) and Dynamite (CP25), all the classics await the 500 qualified starters on Sunday.
In less than a week, the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo will kick off its 28th edition, and the globally unique motorbike offroad motorsport event will set new standards both in terms of sport and event atmosphere at the Styrian Erzberg.
Factory professionals and ambitious amateurs from 50 nations and all continents will face the challenge of tackling the toughest Extreme Enduro event on the scene – and fighting for valuable points in the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship. In addition to the superstars of the current Hard Enduro World Championship season, motorsport fans can also look forward to top calibre riders from the Enduro World Championship, the Trials World Championship, the American Supercross and Hard Enduro scene and even from Rally Raid racing.
The next generation of Hard Enduro athletes will also be fully represented, as the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo also counts as a round of the FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship. And then, in addition to the thousands of amateur motorsport athletes, the respective top riders from the national offroad racing series will also be at the start!
