Mountain race Steckborn: There is a new tree per team 🎥
WHERE YOU MEET Two days of classic car fun and racing feeling within reach - that's the Memorial Mountain Race Steckborn-Eichhölzli on September 23 and 24. With 345 starting vehicles a new record.
Already for the fifth time, the classic car event at Lake Constance, which is not only popular with motorsport fans, will inspire young and old. 302 historic racing cars and 43 bikes with history will start in different categories.
The proximity to teams and cars is unique, not only in the pit lane in the small town, but also on the easily manageable mountain track, which is professionally supervised by ACS Thurgau.
75 years of sports cars from Porsche
Highlights will be special Porsche models from the autobau Erlebniswselt collection, as the brand celebrates the 75th anniversary of its sports cars in 2023. Equally worth seeing are successful and well-known Thurgau racing drivers with their bolides. Le Mans winner Marco Werner drives a rare Porsche 918 Spyder, built in 2014. One of the cars from the collection, and the sound alone of the Maserati 8CM, built in 1937, by Kurt Hasler from Amriswil is worth the trip to Steckborn (top center gallery).
Many starters have synfuels in the tank
Despite all the fun of the vehicles' noises, efforts are also being made to protect the climate. The Memorial 2023 is also particularly sustainable because, for the first time, a large number of the historic vehicles are taking to the track with synthetically produced fuel, so-called synfuels. Here, the past is at the starting line with the future. And that's not all.
Roger Forrer, OC President: "Part of the participation fee will be used to finance trees and plant them in the Untersee region in consultation with the forester. So exactly 345 trees will enrich nature."
With the SBB directly into the paddock
The recommended journey for visitors with the SBB ends at Steckborn station virtually in the middle of the paddock and the pit lane. Those taking the journey to Steckborn in a classic car can purchase the classic car package in advance on the Memorial Hillclimb Race website: for 50 Swiss francs, two people and their vehicle (1986 and older) receive a VIP parking space near the paddock, two daily admissions and two grandstand seats with the best view of the race track. Further detailed information is available on the Internet.
