Some visitors missed the separate area for a racing car exhibition at Auto Zürich. For the people of eastern Switzerland, this has become a tradition at the st. gallen motor show from November 18 to 20. Current and historic vehicles, which are mainly seen at Swiss hill climbs, will be exhibited there. Some of them will also be presented in action on large screens.
The organizers of the major north-eastern Swiss hill climb races in Hemberg and Oberhallau and the Walzenhausen hill climb will also have a stand at the special Sport & Speed exhibition in Hall 9. Spectators can find out about the next events and buy merchandising articles.
Well-known racing drivers present themselves to the spectators
Racing drivers from the region who are known beyond the country's borders will also be presenting themselves to the public. In collaboration with Pfister Racing, Robert Natau from St. Gallen will be presenting his Chevrolet Cruze, in which he finished third overall in the 2016 Eurocup. Virtual test drives can be completed in a professional simulator and, with a bit of luck, attractive prizes can be won.
On Friday afternoon, Jasmin Preisig will be present at the Opel stand at Botsberg-Garage Hess AG, where she will be available for talks and autographs. Her Opel Astra TCR, which she drives in Germany, will be on display for the duration of the show. On Saturday, Dominic Schmitter, the only Swiss motorcycle racer in the Superbike category, will visit the exhibition. The instructors from the Eventcenter Seelisberg will be providing the real action, not only in the hall, but also with a drift show in the outdoor area.
