Dress code is traditional
Whether in a dirndl-dress for the ladies or with a pair of leather trousers or simply a checked shirt for the gentlemen. Take inspiration from how you usually would visit the Oktoberfest. Or take your local dress code to choose your outfit. Adapt your look to your car – by region or era. And above all: join how you like and have fun!
Everywhere together
We drive in different countries and places at the same time. The Dirndl-Drive-Challenge is not a central single classic car event in only one location. Rather, it is a participatory event (= challenge). So organize your own tour where you live or would like to drive. We share the memories online and take part in the driving fun of others. Get creative!
Fun task Take as many girls as possible in a dirndl-dress along! Whether in the drivers’s seat or as passengers.
Social Media
We share all rides via Facebook, Instagram and on the WODI-Homepage. We use: #dirndldrive
Share your photo or video
During or after your ride, share your ‘evidence’ with the Dirndl Drive Committee. Please include your assigned participant number. If you would like to be linked by us on social media, please send us your FB and Insta names and links.
Take on a prize
Among all groups and drivers we will award a prize for the most beautiful ‘outfit-automobile-combination’ and a few other fun categories. It’s all about honour and possibly online fame.

Idea & Origin
The Oktoberfest is loved and appreciated by many. People all over the world have been celebrating it for decades. In March of last year everything started to shut down. The Oktoberfest in Munich was also cancelled. We avoided contact with anyone else. That’s when we missed also the Oktoberfest and so we arranged to go on an Oktoberfest-inspired drive. Separated in our cars, it was possible to go on tour in common “spirit”. The Classic Car Dirndl-Drive was born. With the concept of many individual small drives instead of one big event. We are looking forward to driving with you again this year!
Disclaimer
The challenge is to share photos or videos of a ride in traditional attire. The rides undertaken by the riders themselves are the sole responsibility of the riders themselves in terms of planning and execution, in the sense that private rides are undertaken. In the case of rides by clubs within the framework of club events, the respective club is responsible. The DDC organizers do not plan tours or rides. The challenge organization on the part of the WODI ladies is to view the contributions of photos/videos of the rides or participating clubs and share those memories online. As always: All are requested to do their rides according to the rules in their respective country as well as to observe the current Corona rules for distancing and especially for gatherings on a daily basis. Also, the local traffic rules are to be obeyed. (Everything as always). We look forward to great memories together!
