Something for nostalgics: The 14th Arosa ClassicCar

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

From Thursday, August 30 to Sunday, September 2, 2018, Arosa will host the Arosa ClassicCar, which is known far beyond the borders of Switzerland. With its varied field of participants, the international mountain race attracts many interested spectators to Arosa every year. Around 25,000 spectators are expected on the four days of the event, who can look forward to an attractive program again this year. One highlight is the traditional vehicle parade through Arosa, where the participants present their unique vehicles to the public for the first time, creating a racing atmosphere as early as Thursday evening.

Due to the great popularity of the event in the motorsports scene, the field of participants was already filled to capacity after a short time. So many entries were received that the Ochsenbühl site was not sufficient to provide parking space for all the vehicles. Therefore, there will be another paddock between the train station and the Postplatz to offer a shelter to all 164 vehicles. The OC would like to present the spectators with a race field that is as attractive and varied as possible. Thus, the Arosa ClassicCar will attract again this year with very attractive vehicles. There will not only be vehicles that pass the 7.3 km long distance from Langwies to Arosa in less than 5 minutes - one driver, for example, will tackle the 422 meters of altitude with a vehicle that is over 100 years old.

Exciting race program
On Thursday, August 30 at 6 p.m. the event begins with the vehicle parade through Arosa, which leads from the Postplatz to the Kulm and back again.

On Friday, the practice runs of the three racing fields take place on the circuit. The drivers complete the 76 curves from Langwies up to the finish at the Obersee in Arosa for the first time. On the following two days, it's time to get serious.
