Races with motor vehicles on public roads are prohibited.

Prerequisites

A permit or exemption may only be granted for events that are organized and carried out responsibly by an event organizer. The organizer must guarantee that the event will be carried out in accordance with the conditions and requirements of the licensing authority. A permit or exemption is issued following a written application. The road traffic authority examines the application and the documents submitted and consults the authorities to be involved (police and road construction authorities, forestry and nature conservation authorities).
The permit or exemption can be linked to conditions and requirements and to orders for traffic regulation and traffic restriction measures. These measures will be agreed in advance with the organizer.

Exceptions to prohibitions or restrictions are possible in certain individual cases or generally for certain applicants. An exception may only be granted in particularly urgent cases. The safety of traffic must not be impaired by the exemption. If necessary, this will be ensured by imposing appropriate requirements and conditions.
