Auto-Renntage Frauenfeld: Free access for the public
SOON THE ENGINES RUN AGAIN As spring approaches in Switzerland, so does the national automobile racing season. A first highlight is the "Auto-Renntage Frauenfeld", which will be held for the 22nd time by the ACS Thurgau Section on the weekend of May 14-15, 2022.
The date is right - as an exception, the popular Frauenfeld car racing days will not take place in April, as in many years before the forced break due to the corona, but in mid-May. Participants and spectators alike can therefore hope to experience and enjoy the sporting action on the Great Allmend in warmer temperatures and longer daylight.
Two days of action for free
The highlight: The public will be granted free access at both races! The visitors are allowed to move freely in the signposted spectator areas and can eat as usual at various catering stands.
They will also be permanently informed about everything worth knowing about the race by the two accomplished track announcers Christian Mettler and Marcel Muzzarelli. However, this year there will be no supporting program and no specially constructed pit lane, in order to concentrate entirely on the racing.
Again the long course
Since Friday, March 25, drivers can register for participation via the online platform go4race.ch. The registration deadline is April 18 at midnight. The number of participants over both days is limited to 360.
The competitors can be happy: As in the years 2014 to 2016 and in July 2021, the race will be run on the course with 49 gates, which has been extended by 500 meters to around 3.2 kilometers in the finish area. The fast start straight and the infield on the Grosse Allmend, which is popular with spectators, will remain unchanged.
Varied race program
The event counts as the second round of the 2022 Swiss Slalom Championship, and points are also at stake for the Suzuki Swiss Racing Cup and the Porsche Slalom Cup. There will be two races with separate scoring for both one-make cups.
As part of the LOC event on Saturday, there will also again be a regularity test for historic vehicles. The aim is not to achieve the best time, but to keep the difference between the two running times as small as possible. The audience can look forward to some beautiful and fast moving classic cars.
In addition, there will again be a trial class for beginners. There is no better opportunity to drive your everyday car safely at the limit.
Further information before and after the event is continuously available on the homepage of the ACS Thurgau.
