Photo Gallery «Passione Caracciola 2016 - Passion triumphs over bad weather»

From June 15 to 19, 2016, the "Passione Caracciola" regularity rally took 58 participating vehicles across Switzerland, from Zurich to Lugano, in the footsteps of racing legend Rudolf Caracciola. Roads that are only exceptionally available for cars and mountain passes with huge walls of snow were driven on. Although the field of vehicles was dominated by Mercedes-Benz, just like Caracciola's racing career, there were also rare Maserati, Porsche and Ferrari cars. Even a Lancia Stratos took part in the rally. This report gives an impression of the event and shows the best moments in pictures.
