The event will be held right on the company’s doorstep in the municipality of Neureichenau (district of Freyung‐Grafenau).  According to the current schedule, the route will be ridden once in the morning (start of 1st vehicle: about 11:00 a. m.) and in the evening (about 6:00 p. m.),  has a length of about 12 kilometres and will be broadcast live. „We are delighted that the path of this rally, newly established here in the region in 2019, has made it to the Champions League of this sport‟, emphasises Werner Vaterl, Chief Operation Officer (COO),  of Knaus Tabbert AG. „Motorsport at the highest level with hybrid drive technology and non‐fossil fuels as well as a convincing sustainability concept are the basis on which this event is treading a contemporary path into the future.“
As in motor sports, the topic of emissions is also particularly important at Knaus Tabbert. The innovation driver in the camping and caravan sector from Jandelsbrunn has been researching in the field of alternative drive technologies for its vehicles for years.

ADAC Sport President Dr. Gerd Ennser: Knaus Tabbert is a column of the rally in the region

„A world championship round here in the Bavarian Forest and in the district of Freyung‐Grafenau also gives us the opportunity to show our region from its most beautiful side worldwide‟, Vaterl points out. This year, the Knaus Tabbert team can experience motorsport up close in the World Cup Fan Zone named after their company. 
ADAC Sport President Dr. Gerd Ennser thanks Knaus Tabbert AG for the cooperation. „Knaus Tabbert AG was one of the big helpers at the birth of the 3 STÄDTE RALLYE here in the border triangle. The fact, that this internationally successful showcase company is now joining us on the road to the world championship underlines, on the one hand our long‐standing partnership and on the other hand shows, that we have great support and backing for our project not only from politics, but also from business. The Knaus Tabbert special stage is one of the highlights of this WRC round through Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic, both in terms of the landscape and the route.”
