On stands of various manufacturers, tuners, racing teams, garage owners, tire companies, suppliers and in specially equipped areas, racing cars from various formulas and categories from several eras can be marveled at.

Bridge between Formula 1 and Formula E
Formula E is even represented with its own stand. There, the futuristic Gen2 race car can be put under the microscope. This will celebrate its race premiere in mid-December at the first round of the year-long fifth FIA Formula E season 2018/19 in Saudi Arabia.
"At Auto Zürich, we are bridging the gap between classic motorsports like Formula 1 and modern racing like Formula E," explains organizer Karl Bieri.
As reported, there will be a fire-up to see and, above all, hear several times a day at the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 stand. The free practice sessions and qualifying from the Brazilian GP will also be broadcast on monitors there.
