Assessment: In the course of the event an assessment of the vehicles will take place ac- cording to the following categories by a professional jury on Saturday, 20th June 2020:

1. P 50 and 60 Trabant 2. Trabant P 601 Years of Construction 1964 to 1969 3. Trabant P 601 YoC 1970 to 1983 4. Trabant P 601 YoC 1984 to 1990 5. Trabant 1.1 6. Trabant „Kübel“ 7. Trabant „Tramp“ 8. Tuning cars 2-stroke 9. Tuning cars 4-stroke

Within each category prices are awarded from first to third place. The assessment merely refers to the authenticity of the vehicles. The cate- gories 2-stroke and 4-stroke tuning are exempt. The jury is determined to professionalize the assessment by the help of documents (Sachsenring in- formation booklets and based on this the website www.trabant-original.de) and the experience of renowned jury members.

The jury will assess the vehicles so that the car which comes closest to the state in which it was initially delivered will receive the first place. In case of an identical condition an authentic lacquer will be preferred over a new lac- quer. A road legal car will also be preferred, since the jury is convinced that the year-round use of the car adds more to the preservation of the historical asset Trabant than the exclusive presentation of a car which is not road le- gal. The overall care will also be considered.

Furthermore, the number, the VIN and the transmission number will be compared. The rims may not be older than 6 months in relation to the YoC of the car and shall be coined uniformly. All details shall correlate to the YoC and not be added later on. „Made up“ cars will not have a prospect on first places. Thus, the jury kindly asks to present only serious registrations during the assessment.

The tuning categories will assess 2-stroke and 4-stroke cars separately. The workmanship of the modification will be assessed. Thus, not only the records in the papers matter but also the technical work on the car itself. The more refined the modification the more likely the car is to reach the first places. A complete list will be coordinated previous to the ITT with all jury members and published in the magazine Supertrabi and other media.

Insurance protection: The host concluded a host-liability-insurance according to the provisions for ADMV. The treaty involves the insurance of the audience.

Disclaimer of liability: The participants (drivers as well as co-drivers) take part on their own risk. They bear the sole civil and criminal responsibility for all damage caused by themselves or the vehicles operated by them. By tendering their registration driver and co-drivers declare waiver to claims of any kind for damage that relate to the event, that is against the host, support, officials and other parties that relate to the organisation of the event as well as other participants. As far as the operated vehicle is not the property of the participant, he nonetheless releases the favoured group of people from duty against claims by the car owner. This disclaimer of liability does not apply for personal or other damage that was caused by negligent or wilful violation of duty by those favoured of this disclaimer of liability. This disclaimer also applies to possible damage of the car caused by the attachment of the number or other badges of the event. It is the duty of the participant to attach the respective badges on his car. In case of abortion of the event due to act of nature or safety reasons no claimof reimbursement for the admission fee or other damage applies. In case of dispute, the German version of the disclaimer of liability applies.

Safety regulations: The motion of the vehicles must correlate with the guidelines of the German traffic regulations. Specific regulations do not apply since the event does not match the characteristics of a motorsport event or a rallye.

On the venue of the event (August Horch Museum) driving may not exceed the speed of pedestrians (max. 5 km/h). Every participant is responsible himself for traffic safety. There will be no technical control. According to the regulations of the vehicle approval act from March 1st 2007 only vehicles permitted to go on public roads are entitled to participate. Participation with a red licence plate, as used by car dealers, is not allowed.
