The largest motorsport festival in Eastern Europe, “Aurum 1006 km powered by Hankook,” is returning for the 27th time to Palanga on July 15–18!

Everyone will find something to enjoy from morning until evening.
See you in Palanga! Come and fall in love with motorsport!

Friday is always full of action both on the track and in the event village. The Women's Challenge will kick off, along with the mechanics’ running race and the spectators’ slalom competition.
