The 15th HISTORIC OLYMPUS RALLY 2026 / 31st MACEDONIAN NAVIGATION – LEKAM, organised by the Classic Car Club of Macedonia, ended with great success on Sunday 11 October 2026.
More than 60 historic cars from all over Greece gathered from 10:00 on Saturday 10 October 2026 in PAFSILIPON-PLASTIRA Square in Karditsa, first for a static display and then for the start of the rally.
The LEKAM organising committee had seen to every detail for the smooth running of the rally and kept competitors informed on the correct use of the satellite timing equipment fitted to the cars, as the event counts towards the FILPA Greek Championship for 2026.
The start was given and the crews left the square one by one, heading for Lake Plastiras and Pezoula beach, where the timed special stages of the first leg took place.
The cars then regrouped at Pezoula beach, giving the competitors plenty of free time to enjoy a coffee by the beautiful lake.
The crews then competed on the second leg of special stages, driving first towards the Plastiras dam and finally finishing back where they started, in PAFSILIPON-PLASTIRA Square.
The next day, Sunday 11 October 2026, the crews took part in the static display of the 3rd Pan-Thessalian Meeting in PAFSILIPON-PLASTIRA Square, drawing passers-by and visitors who were eager to admire and be photographed with the elegant “ladies” of another era.
The event ended with the trophy presentation to the winners, attended by the Deputy Mayor for EDUCATION, CULTURE, SPORT and TOURISM of the Municipality of KARDITSA, Mr Panagiotis EFTHYMIOU.
The President and the Board of LEKAM wholeheartedly thank all participants in the 15th HISTORIC OLYMPUS RALLY 2026 / 31st MACEDONIAN NAVIGATION, and especially:
