In 2027 the Magic 12 is in Thuringia (Thürringen).
Thuringia sits right in the middle of Germany and, frankly, looks like it was designed by someone who enjoys watching riders reconsider their life choices at the side of the road. It’s a glorious mix of forests, ridgelines and valleys—ideal for a rally where the scenery is lovely, the corners are plentiful, and your route plan will be revised more often than a British train timetable.
Which is precisely the point of the IBA Benelux Magic12: you’ve got 12 hours to ride smart, hunt down Bonus Locations, and rack up as many points as humanly possible. It’s not about going fastest; it’s about endurance, calm decision-making, and meticulous planning — like chess, but with petrol stations, rest moments and the occasional “we’ll just pop over there” that turns into an accidental tour of the entire region.
The Rally Master will create a great day for you all.
Registration will start soon, and more details will follow.
