It will soon be time again. After a one-year break, the GP Mutschellen will take place for the seventh time on May 1, 2016, just outside Zurich.

In 2014, over 300 different racing and sports cars were guests at the GP Mutschellen and gave thousands of enthusiastic spectators an insight into the fascinating history of motorsport. The knowledgeable audience and fans of beautiful cars and powerful engines were offered an impressive overview of 100 years of racing history.

Cars that are often only seen in museums were driven on the clearly laid out track from Rudolfstetten to Friedlisberg, and not at a slow pace. At last, "the old sheet metal", as collectors and enthusiasts like to call it, was given free rein. The old engines were allowed to turn over and be challenged again for once. The compressors of the pre-war racers were allowed to sing their beautiful song, and the audience was up close and personal with all their senses. You could see, hear and smell the cars and even touch and photograph them. Or simply enjoy them: in the car park, on the track or after crossing the finish line on the Friedlisberg.

200 racing cars ...

Registration for the 2016 event has been open for a few weeks now. The invitation to participate as a driver in the GP Mutschellen is issued by the OC GP Mutschellen in cooperation with the ACS Mitte.

Around 200 exclusively historic racing cars, racing sports cars, monopostos, racing motorcycles, racing tricycles and sidecars built up to 1986 are admitted. And they drive a relatively short but not undemanding course.

... and a regional group

The OC is also trying to drum up a regional group with around 40 old, attractive vehicles from the Mutschellen region. These cars will be presented to the spectators in the form of a parade.

We are looking for cars, motorcycles and horse-drawn vehicles (no tractors or military vehicles) that comply with the GP regulations but have the character of vintage cars or a certain degree of originality. They must be at least 40 years old. To emphasize the local character, the vehicle owners and their vehicles must be from the Limmattal/Mutschellen/Freiamt region (Dietikon and Bremgarten districts).

The signs are good that there will once again be an impressive parade of racing vehicles and spectators at the Rudolfstetten-Friedlisberg race track on May 1, 2016.
