Following Istria, the participants will head south along the coastal road to Split, where the second stage of the rally takes place. Split will serve as a base from which participants will drive to Pelješac, crossing the spectacular Pelješac Bridge. 

They will have the chance to indulge in a wine tasting at one of our renowned wineries and savour oysters. This year, we will also visit Trogir for the first time and not miss the opportunity to explore the Red and Blue Lakes in Imotski.

This unique “e-luxury” tour, successfully combining e-mobility and tourism for the tenth consecutive year, has become a recognisable brand throughout Europe and beyond. It promotes Croatia as an “e-mobility friendly” tourist destination and serves as an excellent example of promoting sustainable tourism. It has gained recognition from the Croatian National Tourist Board (HTZ) as a partner project year after year.
