The Montreux Grand Prix will take place once again from September 7 to 10, 2017. Over 140 cars from all possible brands are expected. However, the focus will be on Alfa Romeo - Abarth and the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese.
The program includes a rally across the idyllic countryside; the Montreux-SHMS Revival "hill climb", in which rally, sports and historic cars race on closed roads and a parade along the lakeshore. And finally, there is also a glimpse of the future of the automobile.
Varzi, Trossi, Zehender, Straight, Hamilton, Veyron, Etancelin and the Swiss Braillard once lined up on the starting line of the first Montreux Grand Prix. In the end, however, it was Philippe Entancelin in his Maserati and the Scuderia Ferrari team in their Alfa Romeo that fought a magnificent duel on the streets of Montreux in 1934.
This was initially the only time the "Grand Prix Automobile de Montrex" was held until it was revived in 1984, when the 50th anniversary of the Grand Prix race was celebrated. Cars rolled along the Riviera and names such as Fangio and Regazzoni were on the guest list. Since then, the "Montreux Grand Prix" has been held as a historic event roughly every three years, and in 2017 it is finally time again...
