It wasn't quite as bad as the weather radar had forecast. The fourth edition of the biennial Oldtimer GP Brugger Schachen took place on June 22, 2019 and got off quite well with a light drizzle. At times it poured a little more heavily from the clouds, but the visitors were not at all impressed. On the contrary, the grandstand was always very well attended.

Inside the racing oval was the large marquee, where barbecues were held throughout the day and even in this "huddle weather", plenty of beer was served. The paddock was located at the entrance on the right, where the precision cars were ready early in the morning.

Classic cars and sports cars

Coffee and pastries were followed by the drivers' briefing. Shortly afterwards, the engines were started and the first field of "classic and sports cars" rolled towards the oval right on time at 9:00.

Historic sports and racing cars

In the second group of vehicles, there was a little more power under the hood. Beautiful examples such as a De Tomaso, Alpine A310 or even Japanese sports cars were at the start here.

If you observed the waving hands of the spectators during the final lap, then the greatest sympathy probably went to the smallest in this group, Fiat Abarth or a Morris Cooper were waved off with applause...

No Brugger Schachen without motorcycles

Anyone who has ever seen the Oldtimer GP live knows that not only four-wheeled classics do their laps, but also motorcycles and sidecars. The variety on offer was once again welcome this year and, as a car fan, it has to be said once again: motorcycles simply look more dynamic in the pictures! It reminds you of the Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man, doesn't it?

But it wasn't just the two-wheelers that provided plenty of action, the sidecar co-pilots leaned into the bends all the more. The wet track left the sidecar crews unimpressed!

Authentic on the road with the pre-war racing cars

In the field of pre-war racing cars, not only the vehicles were reminiscent of the pre-war era, but also the racing overalls and goggles of the racing drivers.

The engines of the "Prewar" cars were all a feast for the ears, but you could talk to whoever you wanted, everyone was particularly impressed by the 27-liter engine of Louis Frey's Gaggenaus-Roll. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the flames only appeared very briefly before the first bend after the grandstand straight, but the roar was clearly audible over the entire lap.

Really fast with the historic racing cars

The pace car visibly slowed down the historic racing cars, namely just before the last bend in front of the grandstand, and then really put the pedal to the metal. Every lap it was exciting to see whether the historic racing cars could follow the modern car in front, and they did so almost regularly... There was plenty of displacement to admire in this field, such as Urs Metzger's 8.6-liter Barracuda.

With a displacement of 7.2 liters, the exotic MSW GT was at the start. Unfortunately, something broke on the rear axle in a bend, so that the car was only seen for a few laps.

But there was not only a lot of displacement in this group, there was also an enormous amount of rear spoiler on offer. Anyone looking for "the biggest" in the paddock finally found what they were looking for in Walter Schärli's Opel Ascona!

Formula field with exotics

The last group of vehicles was made up of formula and racing cars. We were particularly pleased to see exotic cars such as the ZARP (Formula V) or the Rombaldi Panhard...

See you again in 2021 at the Oldtimer GP

According to Andreas Küng, OC President of the Oldtimer GP Brugger Schachen, the attractive and varied event will take place again in 2021. We are already looking forward to it and have our gloves ready...
