Oldtimer Grand Prix Nurburgring: August 8-10, 2014
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2014 9:04 am
One of the best classic racing events worldwide and even more so for BMW fans is the OGP at the legendary German Ring (both the F1 track and the Nordschleife).
To get an impression you can have a look at our exclusive reports on previous editions: 2010 - 2011 - 2012 - 2013. Official website: http://www.avd.de/ogpracing/
What can we expect this year: of course the cars that have become regulars over the past years ranging from the oldest pre-war stuff including a couple of 328's, through the tourers and GT's from the 50's and 60's and all the way to DRM, DTM and historic F1. And always several carbrands will put in some extra efforts and bring out legendary cars and drivers for some celebration.
New this year (added to the known 70's and 80's historic F1 class) is a vintage F1 class with the impressive 50's stuff back in the day driven by names like Graham Hill, Phill Hill, Jim Clark and John Surtees. There will also be a longer evening race on Sat!
For BMW fanatics this is one of the best events worldwide as BMW always puts in a lot of efforts. Not parked cars but enough action including several Group 5 E21's, we spoke to Charles Veillard and he will be there with the Eddie Cheever Group 5 320i, and we expect 2-3 more! It is 99% sure Marc Hessel will be driving the impressive screaming McLaren F1 GTR longtail and BMW plans to celebrate 30 years of DTM and 30 years of M5. Promising enough, or?!

If work doesn't mess up his schedule Lars will be there too.
