Real Range
450–600 km per tank
Comparable to petrol — enough to cross a country between refuels, even on remote Iberian and Nordic stages.
H2 Rally is a pan-European drive for hydrogen-powered classic cars. From the Atlantic coast to the Arctic Circle — a working demonstration that clean motoring is ready for the road.
H2 Rally is a long-distance drive for hydrogen-powered classic cars across Europe. Thirty teams, ten thousand kilometres of real roads, and a single shared purpose: showing that clean motoring works in the real world.
Every kilometre is covered on green hydrogen, refuelled at a growing network of public stations. The route itself becomes the evidence.
Starting in Lisbon, crossing Iberia, France, the Alps, Central Europe and the Baltic — reaching Lapland before turning home. Twelve countries. Twenty-four hydrogen refuel waypoints.
Grand départ from the Atlantic coast. Teams roll out of Cascais and head east across Iberia.
Across the meseta, down to the Mediterranean, then north along the Basque coast.
The Mediterranean south, then up through the heart of France to the capital.
Into the Alps, across Northern Italy and on through Central Europe.
North through Poland, crossing into Scandinavia for the long run toward the Arctic.
The Baltic crossing and the final push to the top of Europe — the turning point of the rally.
A sweeping return leg through Europe, finishing where it began — in Cascais.
Batteries add weight and kill character. Synthetic fuels still burn. Hydrogen combustion gives you zero tailpipe CO₂ with the range, refuel feel and mechanical soul that made these cars icons.
Comparable to petrol — enough to cross a country between refuels, even on remote Iberian and Nordic stages.
Gasoline-like stops — the rhythm of rallying is preserved. No long charging breaks.
H₂ combustion means the engine still breathes, still sounds, still feels right. ±5% of OEM mass.
Hydrogen-retrofitted classics of the 1970–1995 GT era — the cars that defined a generation of European motoring.
Cars converted by H2 Classics — or by the team's own workshop to the H2 Classics architecture spec.
A public proof-drive that hydrogen infrastructure is ready for real journeys.
Every classic on the rally starts life in our Cascais workshop — H2 Classics — where the hydrogen internal-combustion retrofit is engineered, integrated and road-certified.
