Apollo Tyres celebrates 20 years of the Vredestein brand partnership with Ennstal-Classic

Apollo Tyres Ltd is celebrating 20 years of the Vredestein brand’s partnership with the Ennstal-Classic, one of Europe’s most prestigious historic motoring events, following another successful edition of the rally held from 22 to 25 July.

The 2026 Ennstal-Classic welcomed almost 200 historically significant vehicles, which completed the 1,000-kilometre route through breathtaking Alpine scenery, once again bringing together enthusiasts from across Europe.

Vredestein’s affiliation with one of Europe’s best-known classic motoring events has been fostered by Apollo Tyres Ltd., which acquired the Vredestein brand in 2009. The Ennstal-Classic continues to provide a fitting showcase for the Vredestein classic tyre range, a diverse portfolio of products that combine period-correct styling with modern structures and compounds for safe, confidence-inspiring handling.

A key element of the partnership remains the Vredestein Youngster Trophy, a dedicated category within the rally that encourages younger generations to engage with classic motoring.

“This event brings together some of Europe’s finest historic vehicles and gives us the opportunity to share our passion for automotive heritage,” said Udyan Ghai, Group Head, Marketing, Apollo Tyres Ltd. “Through our support of the Vredestein Youngster Trophy and continued investment in our Classic tyre range, we are helping enthusiasts enjoy their classic vehicles safely in all conditions.”

Apollo Tyres’ involvement in the classic car segment extends beyond event partnerships. The company continues to invest in the Vredestein Classic range to add new sizes and to introduce new materials and designs that deliver contemporary standards of performance in all conditions.

The Vredestein range includes Sprint Classic, Sprint+, Grip Classic, Snow Classic, Transport Classic and Quatrac Classic tyres, collectively compatible for a broad spectrum of passenger cars, sports cars, commercial vehicles and 4x4s from different eras of motoring history.
