Three Super-Sunny Days

The title sums up the essence of the Eifelrennen, held last month at the Nurburgring. Old and new friends exchanged the latest restoration experiences, and some had to carry out last-minute repairs before driving the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife. The old pits blossomed into new life surrounded by historic gas pumps, oil cans and straw bales. Especially the paddock oozed lots of style and grace as it was, just as in the old days, filled with rare pre-war racing cars and the hotspot where roaring engines mixed with the smells of oil, paint, leather and fresh 'Mobil' coffee. No museum in the world could recreate racing history as authentic as this. Last but not least was a spectacular drive over the Grand Prix course by the Mercedes Silver Arrows W 25, W 125 and W 196 piloted by former racing drivers Hans Hermann and Jochen Maas.
