Joint activities are usually a reason for classic car drivers and enthusiasts to celebrate. June 10, 2016 offers a special occasion for this: the program of the tenth Altmühltal Classic Sprint starts in Nuremberg on this day.
Across Middle Franconia
The event begins with a prologue round on Friday evening. From the VR Bank in Tullnaupark, the route leads into the region north-east of Nuremberg towards Erlangen and Hersbrucker Schweiz. As in 2015, an event on the grounds of the Porsche branch on Erlanger Strasse is also planned as part of this opening lap.
On Saturday, the participants will drive across Middle Franconia via the Ansbach area to the Hohenzollern fortress of Wülzburg near Weissenburg, and in the afternoon, enjoyable cruising through the Altmühltal valley is on the program. Organizer Uwe Wiessmath has two routes of different lengths ready for this - depending on the mood of the drivers and the performance of the vehicles. In addition, the organizing crew is working on a hill climb on a closed-off section of the route around the Wülzburg - a sporting treat that is unique to a rally of this type. On Sunday, the entourage winds its way back to Nuremberg via Brombachsee and Georgensgmünd to the Tullnaupark.
You can rely on friends
The secret of the Altmühltal Classic Sprint's success is based on the event motto "By friends for friends", which the entire event has lived by from the very beginning. This reliability is rewarded with loyalty: Almost 100 teams have already entered or given an option to participate in 2015. The first automotive rarities such as two Jaguar C-Types and a D-Type, two Bentleys, a Bugatti Type 51 and various Ferraris are also already in sight. And if there are enough participants from Abarth, we can even expect a Copa Abarth. A commemorative publication and a video about the experiences of the first ten years of the Altmühltal Classic Sprint are also in preparation, and broadcasts by regional television stations are again being considered.
The registration period for the Altmühltal Classic Sprint 2016 runs until May 22, 2016, with an early bird price of 459 euros per team until December 31, 2015. The entry fee is 499 euros until April 3, 2016, after which 515 euros will be due.
