For many, it is one of the highlights of the season, the uncomplicated RAID Prologue from Zurich/Dübendorf to Basel, which is being organized for the twelfth time in 2014 on 27 August.

The cars arrive in Dübendorf at 17:30 and line up. Before leaving, the participants enjoy an aperitif and a summer buffet, then at around 20:00 they set off for Basel on minor roads.

There is something very special about driving into the twilight in a classic car and the cooling air is also good for the engine, which is particularly stressed in summer.

In Basel, the participants are then greeted with a champagne reception.

Those who want to stay overnight in Basel, those who want to go home and have to return to work the next day will drive back.

The entry fee is CHF 300 for a vehicle with two people. This amount also includes the breakdown service, aperitif and buffet in Dübendorf, champagne at the finish and, of course, any trophies won. And yes, there are still a few places available, as you can still register until June 30, 2014.

Further information can be found on the event website and inspiration can befound in last year's picture gallery.
