Jüchen, 31th of July - 2nd of August |
Whereas the autograph tent was overcrowded the following days one had the chance to chat with the drivers
and especially Moss had a lot of great memories to share on the vintage race pictures he had to sign. Over
the day the paddocks filled with again about 30 Bentleys from the Benjafield Racing Club prominently
displayed at the infield, the usual colorful mix of pre- and post-war sports cars in the two paddocks and
display in the Orangerie although for the first time since the introduction of the Classic Days this was not held
as a proper concours anymore. With the ever increasing amount of visitors the owner of these expensive cars
started to worry more and more about their cars every year and the volunteers had a lot of work to control the
stream of visitors on the restricted area of the Orangerie so this year the concours was separated from the
Classic Days into an own event earlier this year and the space was used for some special displays instead.
Some visitors might have missed the concours cars that always have been a highlight but with the cars shown
that weekend the organizers found a very suitable compensation. |
