Opening competition of the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo
In the REMUS ROCKET RIDE, riders must complete a three-part steep slope in the fastest time possible. In the qualifying round, each participant has two timed attempts to burn the fastest possible time up the mountain and make it into the TOP 48, who will then compete against each other in the SUPERFINAL.
Participant
up to 1500 drivers from all over the world
Mode
Time trial on an approximately 13 km long, fast gravel track
Goal
The 500 fastest riders secure a starting place for the Erzbergrodeo.
Start
Single-handedly against the clock, full throttle on wide forest and gravel roads.
Driving style
High speed instead of technology – unlike the main competition, this is about top speed and control at maximum speed.
Meaning
The better the time, the better the starting position in the main race (first rows = big advantage)
Character
Spectacular, fast-paced, the exact opposite of the extremely technical sections in the main race
