Car Club in Volos was founded in 1976. Back then, it was called Car and Motorcycle Club of Volos. The ascension to Portaria began in 1982 and this kind of race has become quite popular. This sport’s fans have adored this race due to the beauty of the area and therefore more than 90 participants take part in it every year. The love for the cars predominated over the motorcycle. Up to this day, apart from Rally “Kentavros” and the ascension to Portaria, which take place every year, the Club has organized successfully Rally Sprint on Mount Pelion (Afetes) and on Chania. The last few years the Club successfully organizes Sprint “Othris” in Almiros. Moreover, it has organized many Kart races at the race-track that existed back then, which was located next to the Panthessaliko Stadium. In 1986 the Club helped successfully for the car race to be organized, in the Industrial area in Volos, in cooperation with the Racing Car Club of Athens. Furthermore the experienced personnel of the Club has taken part in countless organizations of Rally Acropolis, Rally Halkidiki and the greek-italian race and in various races. In addition, over the years the Club has organized excursions to enjoy Formula 1 races in order for its members to get experience. The last few years the Club aims at both the spread of the power driven sport and the entertainment of its members. What is more, it is interested in developing the tourism in Magnesia, in providing help to the state, in improving the traffic in the city as well as the drivers’ conscience, so as less accidents will occur. |
