Fast-paced action: 300 drivers rock the stock car weekend in Grimmen!
Around 300 motorsport enthusiasts gathered last weekend in the Vorpommern-Rügen district for one of the region's most traditional events: the annual stock car race in Grimmen. The 1st Grimmen Stock Car Legion organized a spectacle under the motto “Mega Race of the North” that attracted both participants and over 2,000 spectators to the stock car arena. This event has become an integral part of the regional motorsport calendar over the last 31 years and attracts drivers from all age groups.
The event offered a varied program with participants from different categories. Young drivers aged twelve and over competed in small buggies, while vehicles with up to 140 hp competed in the Trabant groups and the all-wheel drive class. This year, a very special highlight was the well-known tractor pulling, which took place on Saturday and fascinated spectators with its impressive power transmission. The joy of motorsport is great here and it is clear that the scene in Grimmen is lively and active daily news reported.
A piece of motorsport history
The roots of stock car racing in Grimmen go back to the late 90s. The first biker meeting took place there in 1994 with around 60 machines, followed by a Trabi mud race, which was also a great success with 18 starters. In 1996 the 1st Grimmen “Stock Car Legion” e.V. was founded, which laid the foundation for the professional organization of the event. The past few years have been marked by numerous records, including the International Stock Car Race in 1999, where over 620 drivers took part and an application was made for an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.

Motorsport through the ages
Motorsport now encompasses many disciplines and has changed significantly over the years. Motorized vehicles were originally developed for faster movement. Today they are part of spectacular competitions that captivate spectators. The shift towards greater safety and more environmentally friendly alternatives is also an important topic in motorsport. The use of hybrid and electric vehicles attempts to counteract this trend, as the motorsport archive describes. The entire development shows that motorsport is not only varied, but also adaptable to meet new challenges.
The next stock car weekend in Grimmen is already being planned and will take place on September 13th and 14th, 2025. The anticipation for the next big motorsport event is already great - and the question remains: who will break the new records? Stay tuned!
