The rally route covered Seaside National Park, Neftchilar Avenue, White City, and Heydar Aliyev Center, concluding at the Dreamland Golf Club. Upon arrival, an exhibition of these classic cars was held, allowing enthusiasts to take photos and explore the history behind each vehicle.

Awards were given out in several categories, including “The Oldest Car,” “The Most Unique Car,” and “The Most Colorful Outfit.” The event concluded with a concert featuring well-known Azerbaijani performers such as Aysel, Dilyara Kazimova, Khayyam Nisanov, Elnur and Nigar, and others.

This event, which captivated both car enthusiasts and the general public, is part of Azerbaijan’s growing motorsports culture, with the Automobile Federation of Azerbaijan playing a leading role in promoting the industry.
