Optionally, we can choose to stay overnight nearby after the event and only drive home the next day. We will then have an aperitif and dinner together. Ideal for driving home relaxed.

Click on the words in the grey bars below for lots of useful info.

For each participating Spyder RS, a numbered A2 and A3 original of the official poster of the event, signed by the designer/artist, will be sent to the specified address of the participating car at least 4 weeks before ‘t event.

This is a nice souvenir for in your mancave, garage, office or ...

This poster will not be offered for sale afterwards and is a future collectors' item.

We are not going to reveal all the details of the programme online in advance. You can see what to expect by clicking on the ‘Images previous Events’ menu button on our website. Below, we very briefly outline the programme and timing of this first edition of this fantastic international event.

One month before the start of the event, you - as a participant - will receive a postal package containing the Guide Book (= printed supplement to the digital Road Book), all stickers for your Spyder RS, a squeegee to apply the stickers, a personalised badge per person, and 2 posters of the event (in A2 and A3 format), signed by the artist who designed them.

Around that time, all registered teams (= drivers as well as co-drivers) will receive an infomail with the link to the digital Road Books, the invitation link to 2 Telegram groups in which we will communicate later, and a lot of other practical info, in order to fully enjoy the upcoming event.

During the event, there will be a briefing on the next day each evening.

Besides our own Spyder RS, we also have an Alpine. In May 2024, we organised an event just for Alpine owners. Our first European Spyder RS Tour is 60% based on this event. Hence the photos below contain quite a few Alpine's.

Day 2 - Road Tour - 328 km

We start the day with a delicious, sumptuous breakfast at our hotel.

After an hour-and-a-half route, we stop in France for a 45' first break. Time for coffee or another drink.

Then 120 km of very scenic route await us before we reach our lunch stop in Luxembourg.

After an invigorating meal and great conversations among ourselves, we set off for an even more scenic route - of just under an hour's duration - through Luxembourg, until we reached our next break in Roost, where we stop for another 45' for drinks and fun chats.

We then have an hour ahead of us to reach Trier, Germany, which is also our second overnight stop.

Day 3 - Road Tour - 283 km

Today, quite a few of us may discover for the first time what beautiful routes Germany has to offer.

After our morning break, we will arrive in beautiful Cochem in the afternoon, where we will have lunch in an original way.

Cochem

From Cochem, 75 km remain to the historic town of Kirn, where we stop at, and in, the fantastic Schloss Dhaun.
Here we provide a drink with a snack and opportunity to go to the toilet.

Schloss Daun

For this, we have a pleasant cooperation with the Kirn city government, which is very carminded.

We end our day an hour and a half later in the famous German city of Kaiserslautern, where - through a partnership with the city - the traffic-free Stiftsplatz is reserved for our cars (see below).

Day 4 - Jim Clark Revival

We will start the day - after our breakfast - at 9am with an exciting 95km route that runs mainly through the beautiful, very twisty Pfälzerwald forest.

Between 10h30 and 11h we arrive in Hockenheim ... after 3 already unforgettable days, it is now time for the icing on the cake: visiting the Jim Clark Revival at the legendary Hockenheimring!

This legendary circuit has a history that goes back a long way: it was built in 1932 and 45,000 (!) spectators attended the opening race in May 1932. Now - more than 90 years later - it has been changed, evolved, rebuilt and improved several times and is now 4,574 m long.

1996 - Damon Hill wins in Hockenheim

The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Germany was organised there dozens of times between 1970 and 2019. The most successful F1 teams there were Ferrari and Williams. Ferrari won the F1 Grand Prix at the Hockenheimring no fewer than 21 times, Williams won 9 times. Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton won 4 times each. No pilot ever did better. Other winners were Nico Rosberg (2014), Fernando Alonso (2012), Juan Pablo Montoya (2003), Ralf Schumacher (2001), Rubens Barrichello (2000), Eddie Irvine (1999), Mika Häkkinen (1998), Gerhard Berger (1997, 1994), Damon Hill (1996), Alain Prost (1993, 1984), Nigel Mansell (1992, 1991), Ayrton Senna (1990, 1989, 1988), Nelson Piquet (1987, 1986, 1981), René Arnoux (1983) ), Patrick Tambay (1982), Jacques Laffite (1980), Alan Jones (1979), Mario Andretti (1978), Niki Lauda (1977) and Jochen Rindt (1970).

During the event, we will have the opportunity to do some guided laps on the Grand Prix circuit, so that we can experience the legendary parts of the circuit ourselves, such as the Sachs corner.

VISIT TO THE JIM CLARK MEMORIAL

Those who wish can take part in the official visit of the Jim Clark memorial on Saturday afternoon (at the place where he crashed in 1968 with his Lotus F2).

BAVARIAN WEISSWURST LUNCH @ VIP LOUNGE

At noon, we will take part in the ‘Bavarian Weisswurst Lunch’ which will continue in the VIP lounge of the East Grandstand.

Day 5 - Return Trip

If time is not tight, it would be ideal to spend a fun evening together on Saturday evening (with another aperitif and dinner) and not return home until Sunday morning after breakfast.
During registration, you can optionally choose a nice place to stay for the night about a twenty-minute drive from the Hockenheimring.
In any case, this is what we will do, and everyone is welcome
This event is exclusively reserved for the Porsche model Spyder RS.
