During the weekend of Saturday May 21st and Sunday May 22nd, the German ADAC Youngtimer |
||
|
organisation settled down at Zolder for their annual race. As usual fans of especially historic racing gathered |
||
|
to compete in the different championships to decide who could lap the Terlaemen track as fastest. |
||
|
Without doubt, the main event was about the Special Tourenwagen Trophy. This interesting GT and |
||
|
Touring Car championship from Germany started 26 years ago at Zolder. It was four years ago since the |
||
|
STT visited the Zolder track for the last time. The two races at Zolder were combined fields featuring the |
||
|
STT, Cup und Tourenwagen Trophy (CTT) and the DMW BMW Challenge. Modern GT’s like the brand new |
||
|
Mercedes SLS AMG appeared on the entry list but also some classic Porsches, Dodge Vipers, Chevrolet |
||
|
Corvette and a stunning looking Triumph Dolomite could be seen. Another interesting historic |
||
|
championship is the German Youngtimer Trophy, divided in two different categories for both touring cars |
||
|
and gran turismo’s featuring many German classics. In the Netherlands the Youngtimer Touring Car |
||
|
|
|
Challenge is a popular championship comparable with the German Youngtimer Trophy. Remarkble tiny cars |
|
claimed the track within the ‘Battle of the dwarfs’. This serie consists of three independent series such as |
||
|
the Abarth Coppa Mille, British Car Trophy and the NSU-TT Trophy. Cars like the Autobianchi, Fiat 500 and |
||
|
600, NSU TT and the Mini Cooper were a common sight. Fans of the Alfa Romeo could eat their hearts out. |
||
|
A large field of classic as well as Alfa’s from a younger era claimed the track during two races on Saturday. |
||
|
The interesting programme was completed with races from the FHR Dunlop Langstreckenpokal and HTGT |
||
|
|
|
series. |
