The popular Michaelskreuzrennen was also unable to take place in 2020 due to coronavirus, and in October 2021 the event had to be postponed again to the following year.
The event actually takes place every three years, in 2011, 2014 and 2017 it was held for the 3rd, 4th and 5th time as a historic hill climb without timekeeping.
For October 8 and 9, 2022, however, the signs are good that it will be held again. You can never be sure, which is why the event website states: "The COVID situation is being constantly monitored and the necessary protection concepts are being discussed with the authorities. We will send out the payment slips for the outstanding entry fees as late as possible (approx. July-August), but please pay the amount promptly."
