Celebrities and cars at Schloss Dyck - the 11th Classic Days in full swing
One thing became clear very quickly: the long journey in the constant traffic jam from Basel to Koblenz was already worth it.
Everyone from Sir Stirling Moss to Derek Bell has been here in recent years. Arturo Merzario, Bernd Mailänder and Karl Wendlinger are expected today. Heidi Hetzer and Jochen Mass were already there yesterday.
For two days, the floral splendor of Schloss Park will be framed by lots of well-formed sheet metal.
For once, all historic cars are invited to drive through the beautiful castle park.
Many fantastic vehicles are ready to either be judged or to put on a show on the track. Marlboro man Arturo Merzario, wearing a hat as always, is ready to drive the "Sharknose" recreation, the Ferrari 156 from 1961, of which there are only three replicas, as all the originals have unfortunately not survived.
The entire castle park was transformed from a botanical garden into a museum on wheels within just a few hours yesterday.
Similar to Goodwood, many participants and guests appear in historic outfits.
There is even a separate zone for campers amidst all the floral splendor, which can sometimes be transformed into a blue steam bath by an almost exploding motorcycle.
Even if the weather is unlikely to be at its best today, this will hardly detract from the event.
All the people, whether helpers, mechanics or riders, were already fully motivated today, so a little shower won't change much.
We are excited to see what else we can discover today. You will be able to read about it in a detailed report shortly.
