A photo story by Daniel Reinhard, published on October 31, 2011

Wenn man an ein Land wie Indien denkt, kommen einem nicht auf Anhieb Oldtimer in den Sinn. Doch auch am 2011 erstmals durchgeführen Grand Prix von Indien konnten 24 Oldtimer organisiert werden, die die aktuellen Formel-1-Helden um den Rundkurs chauffierten.

Oldtimer-Fahren in Indien hat sicher etwas spezielles an sich, denn erstens geht es auf der Strasse chaotisch zu und zweitens muss man jederzeit mit Geisterfahrern oder Kühen auch auf der Autobahn rechnen.

Diese Bildergeschichte zeigt die schönsten Momente der Fahrerpräsentation mit den Oldtimern am Grand Prix von Indien 2011.
